i wanted to respond on an old post here by angel of death, when they said god is most logical and that "it is more logical than the infinite universes etc."
What is more logical, saying god exists and is the creator of all things doesn't answer anything, saying the bing bang happened doesn't answer anything, how the hell did all of any of that happen to begin with. God is Denial incarnate, a distraction that people are so desperate for that they cling without question, cause they know they can't find any answers and so its as good as anything, don't have to think for yourself and its popular, oh happy day, now people will actually respect me because I happen to buy into the same crap they do so now we can coexist in a social atmosphere were we never have to worry about anyone questioning us (and fear, distrust, and even hate any that do) and making us look at what we actually believe in, a romantic notion. People don't mind arguing but they don't like to have to face their own doubts of reason in terms of what faith they follow, not even so much what they believe. What I mean there is that the core values of religion don't require religion, just be good people, its the fear of a lack of purpose in life and a sense of lonliness or even guilt at being held responsible for their "sins", and fear of hell, and social stigmas and reprecussions, and fear of facing having been lied to all your life about the one thing you thought you had left to believe in, but thats just it, just because religion is the father of all lies that also doesn't mean that god doesn't exist, and that we are nothing and worthless, it might, but thats not the point, thats not what you need to believe, you only need to believe what you feel is right, religion is just politics, a power structure meant to filter and interpret you thoughts for you while telling you how to live, which people buy into because they say the mean well and express things you want to hear, doesn't mean they do all of them and doesn't mean they don't do tons of horrible shit. It just means that they are human and they have found a way to benefit and capatalize on peoples beliefs (whether they share them or not), church serves no purpose but to bring people together in a common interest and perhaps goal. But the message they are supposed to be putting out, last I heard, wasn't for people to be getting their panties in a twist and going around judging, killing, hating, and thinking they know everything, but to be kind loving understanding helpful, all the romantic crap that makes us feel better and safe in a world where its just as possible that thats a bunch of shit and we are just a virus, a plague eating and destroying anything and everything in our path, even us.
