He’s got statistics, you’ve got platitudes. Get your nose out of the Gospel of John for one parsec and smell the coffee, brother. You guys crack me up way too much.

As a 43-year old lifelong Roman Catholic, when I finally studied physics and the formation of the universe in recent years, it became very clear to me that there is no supernatural power overseeing us, and that it is preposterous to think that there is. But religion does organize people, for better or worse, and it earns lots of money for many people. Dickens said ignorance is a greater hazard than hunger and want. He was so right.

I will pray for your eyes to be opened. I do agree with you on one thing though. Religion is a <span class="caps">BAD</span> thing. Do you know who else hates religion? Jesus Christ. He called the religios people of his day, “hypocrites,” “A brood of vipers.” Religion is not a good thing. Religion leads to legalism, legalism leads to all these things you’re talking about. What we all need is to be given, as well as to give, grace, mercy and compassion. That’s what Jesus does. If we gave those things the people of our society and taught those concepts, there is absolutely NO <span class="caps">WAY</span> to deny the fact that society as a whole would be better off. The <span class="caps">USA</span> is becoming the next Soddom and Gamorrah. Not a path with a happy ending. God is not the problem. Putting up with sin and evil ways is the problem. What it really boils down to weather people believe it or not is this, “God cannot be mocked.” -Galatians 6:7 The simple fact that some people choose not to accept the truth, doesn’t make it false. I’ve never seen you, but that doesn’t make you a figment of my imagination, right. Take care brother. Your friend, (No matter how you feel towards me or any other follower of Jesus Christ.)
