I never understood how people could beleive in a "god".
why would you want to think something is higher than you?
I don't, im not going to outright deride a whole group of people
but i think that to serve in a religion you are submitting to the fact that you are a slave to something you can't see, be the papists, or Buddhists there's always a doctrine to follow.
I like to think of religious documents, well specifically the Christian, texts a pretentious child's tale, ie to make them not scared of death. Fact of the matter is, you die, and your body is recycled into the ground.

We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
