And people wonder why I have NO support for organized religion.

Let's count those who think they know who or what god is:

Buddhism - benign and don't have any proof;

Hinduism - benign and don't have any proof;

Judeaism - mostly benign, but is strange in it's beliefs, but has commonsense values for humankind, but also don't have any proof of a vengeful god who needed to be worship according to the Old Testement. What a petty god if so;

Christianity - mostly benign, but way to many intra fights over what Christ said. Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant (Some groupings include Anglicans amongst Protestants). Then you have Episcopalians, Mormons, Lutherans and every lame ass pastor who wants to name a new church in Christ's name, thinking that he has interpreted the Bible better than others. The one thing they all have in common is Christ's teachings of peace, except for the worship thing. Really? The creator of all needs to be worshiped? Sheesh, what a low-esteem god that is.

Then we have Islam. What does Islam preach/promote? Well, all you need to do is read the Koran and the Hadiths and it will tell you about killing anybody and everybody who doesn't believe in their also made up Allah.

I remember as a child thinking that none of these organized religions have a handle on what's behind this planet and universe. How could so many religions NOT know what the ultimate purpose is? This, from an 8 year old child.

So screw every damn organized religion, especially the murderous cult of Islam. While I do believe that Jesus Christ existed and tried to better mankind, I don't believe he was the son of any god. He was just a superior man and gave his all to change things for the better. He is a hero to me.

Go ahead quote scripture to counter my assertions. Those gospels were written by men who thought the world was flat and the Sun revolved around the Earth. Tell me, please, why should I believe those old ancient superstitious men that a sin-forgiving god exits. And what the frig is sin? Something some petty god decided it wasn't to his liking? What about nowadays as the Catholic church modifies its doctrine? The 10 Commandments need modification?

I hate organized religion. Have your faith and feel at ease in your soul. Me, I'll just keep wondering why there are so many galaxies out there and what was "his" purpose for making them? And we get this one workable planet? What a throw of the dice? However, I once read something by C.S. Lewis where he postulated the the supreme entity did throw out the big bang because he just wanted to see what would develop and was a lonely for something more. It's as good as theory as any. But again, human emotion?

Back to topic, I despise Islam. I don't need a god to tell me what's morally correct. That comes from within my own innate human compassion, empathy, and sympathy. The one biblical quote I subscribed to is: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Again, that's about human compassion. Islam doesn't follow that tenant.

So start another war Obambi for your Muslim Brotherhood affiliated al-queda types who believe in just one more BS god. If I had a child of military age, I would steer them away.

Said my piece and won't argue with you believers. I often wish I could just shut down my logic and have faith, but never seem to get past the basics.

However, I will admit that Judeo-Christian values made this the greatest nation the planet has seen until those values went the way of American Idol, The Housewifes of Who gives a shit, MTV Big Brother and all the other mindless reality shows. We had it made until the liberal/progressives/socialist/communists finally won.
