The thing that really steams me about most religitards is that they base their beliefs on dubious information written thousands of years ago by fishermen, lawyers, sheep herders, bureaucrats and the such. Then they demand that everone believe exactly as they do on threat of eternal damnation, torment and unspeakable suffering imposed by a loving god. I have to wonder if the strength of their belief is so weak that they become very frightened and threatened when anyone believes differently.

As for their habit of demanding that others believe that their scriptures (and their's alone) are literally true they very much remind me of the pretty but dopy young woman in the State Farm TV ads who insists that everything on the internet is true because she read on the internet that information can not be on the internet if it is not true. Give me a damn break.

As a child the first huge hole I saw in various religion's theology is that religionists absolutely refuse to consider that the choice of what religion they espouse is determined almost entirely by the religion of their parents and the geographical location of their birth and childhood. A child born to Hindu parents who grew up in India is almost certain to be a Hindu unless they are intelligent enough to see through all the religious bullshit.

The very same child if adopted by a Southern Baptist couple from Alabama and reared in Alabama would almost certainly be a Southern Baptist who believes Hindus are godless heathen. Choice of religion is very frequently a lottery of parentage and geography. That seems to me to be a terribly inadequate route to deciding you know the REAL TRUTH.

As for those who insist that there only two religions, God and evolution, in which camp do you place devout, god fearing Muslims or Sikhs?

On top of these factors and thousands of other problems with organized religions there is also the fact that the great American philosopher, George Carlin, taught us. God is all seeing, all knowing and all poiwerful, but the poor guy never learned to manage money. He is always needing more and more.
