Everything Bad and Sick In This World

[ruggerson]

can be traced back to organized religion.

I'm not dissing spirituality. Or God. Or even Jesus or Mohammed. Yhe private relationship people have with their God can be a wonderful thing.

But organized religion is a disease - a mental illness, a dangerous, cancerous cult, a plague on civilization.

And it will eventually destroy the world unless we stop it.

1. I'm an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac

I lay awake at night and wonder if there really is a dog.

2. Except that Jesus, Mohammed, etc are all fairytales created for control

No one would believe any of that kid stuff WITHOUT the huge organization behind it.

3. I used to not be that harsh about religion.

But I am now.

4. And why not, they would be that harsh on you!

[mmonk]

5. They weren't always.

Religion has reached a new level of militancy that has plunged us backward to darker times.

6. Really? I think religious folks always had animosity to atheists/agnostics

8. There were plenty of live and let live people in religion.

Now, we even have Chuches throwing people who didn't vote republican or for bush out.

7. I stubbed my toe this morning.

9. God made you to stub your toe! Did you forget to back up the database?

(or violate some other commandment?) God loves backups!

10. But that's neither truly bad nor sick

just irritating. :)

Ok, I should have written *nearly* everything bad or sick...

11. I'm locking this.

No discussion of any value can possibly come from it.
