I don't buy our human nature making us want to seek out a higher power. I never wanted to seek out a higher power. Even when I was a young, ignorant child I never bought the religion stuff. Seeking out a higher power is a sign of idiocy because of how it falsely explains something in nature that is unknown. Instead of using common sense and...*gasp*...logic, they simply label it as a mystical creation, a "miracle," and conveniently get rid of that whole icky logical thought process.
What's that rainbow?
Oh, that's just God giving you a sign that he'll never drown you all like rats again. What's that lightining?
Zeus is angry at us for not praying enough.
I fail to see a better way that people have organized, developed culture, and progressed.
Why do you have to have religion to have a society? Have you ever stopped to think that maybe religion is a bad reason to organize? People killing other people, sacrificing themselves, and repressing common natural urges for completely abstract and fake reasons, all of this for the sake of organizing? Is it really worth it?
Fact: Religion has contributed to more deaths than anything.
Fact: Religion
still contributes to mass genocide.
Fact: Religion
still causes people to believe the Earth is flat, evolution is fake, that women are an inferior sex... The list goes on forever.
Um, but that's part of their religions tenets (of fundamentalists at least). They have full right to call you a sinner and judge you. If they don't take active action to cut off your sources of expression, they're free to call you a sinner until their face turns blue.
And I have the full right to give them a swift kick to the jugular.
