Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Actually, "he" - or more correctly, preachers with a vested interest in holding onto control without actually doing anything to earn it - are selling the "cure". A cure for which there is no known disease. To borrow from the Hitch, the scam only works if they can convince people they were created sick and ordered to be well - and only they have the right formula of snakeoil to do it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

But it's transparently obvious in their book that the whole fall and salvation shtick is a fucking setup. There isn't even a fucking man behind the curtain, he's jacking off right in front of them. What more can be said or done? Nothing seems to work.

None so blind as those who will not see. Seems like some people have a burning need to be led. Far easier than having to think for themselves, actually having to come to terms with the world and their place in it.

Shame they can't be led by actual intelligent, moral people.

Atlas. You're smart enough to dismiss most religious scams... One more to go. Yours! And you're there.
God never wanted to visit our indigenous people who have been in Australia for 65000 years (latest carbon dating).
Couldn't he find a virgin to impregnate any sooner? Sheesh! Hehehe
C'mon, give us a break....you're not 4 years old...

Really tells you something. Makes me want to rip the throat out of anyone who says that we're only capable of being moral is because we're 'borrowing' from a religious worldview. I mean, it sounds like the kind of thing some asshole would say after they lost an argument and they're just butt-hurt but I hear it from preSUCKositionists like Eric Ho-vind right out of the gate.

To many; God is nothing more but a comical character that excels in certain field; another man/woman that has supernatural powers.
But what about God, as in "all knowing"?
That is a God that never gave birth, or was born. A "something else". He is not a man with a super abilities; but he made the abilities themselves.
Wrote it down. Created darkness and light. Pain and salvation.
He made the sickness, but made the cure too. God in this definition, is a scary being, but a beautiful one too.
It's all about the scale he made: increase gravity, and you crush the human next door.
He is not a "another one". He is the "One God". "He" is only used to refer to him; God created gender itself.
Something to think about..He is great.
Thought about it. Still bullshit.
