What I’m saying is I don’t believe in organized religion. I believe in facts. A religious truth based on a judgmental book is not believable to me.

I'm not going to tell someone there's no God, it's entirely possible that there is. Science simply isn't all-knowning and there's ton of holes in our understanding of the universe and its origins.

But I find it real hard to believe that a being that is powerful enough that he created everything within a Universe so expansive that the human mind can't comprehend it...billions upon billions of stars, billions upon billions of galaxies, etc made up of damn near infinite collection of atoms and other particles...really gives a shite if some guy puts his wiener in another guy's butt.

Or is insecure enough to need the validation of some chunks of meat on some shitty little planet in the middle of a shitty little galaxy orbiting a shitty little sun.

An all powerful, benevolent God doesn't need validation. Or money. Or power. Or the other things that come along with organized religion.

But men do.

If there is a God in the traditional sense, I think he created us to watch us grow and observe. Nothing more, nothing less. The rest was added by men to:

A) Deal with our fear of death and the unknown
B) Keep the poor from rising up and taking over the rich by instituting basic rules such as "don't murder", etc
