Off topic. Maybe this one will help you better understand your problem, and the whole problem with religion in general. jesusneverexisted.com There's a simple acid test to determine if a religion is "true". Do they ask you for money? If the answer is yes, it's a false religion. Magical super beings who create universes would logically never be low on dough, would not have to spend their days reduced to begging, and they certainly would not need to employ con men and unwashed peasants to "spread the word". And why would a magical super being need to be worshipped by lower life forms in the first place? Would its ego truly be so fragile that it needs these constant strokes? Would you feel better about yourself if you were worshipped by bugs and bacteria? Would you get a warm fuzzy feeling every time they thanked you for a bit of carrion? Would you grant special favors to "good" bacteria that treated you with special respect? As I mentioned previously, as a matter of common courtesy, I try not to annoy religious folk if they show me the same courtesy. You are annoying. Your every post seems to include some reference to mythology and that is not the topic here. If you want to discuss mythology, you should start a thread or join one that already exists. I tend to view your sort as suffering from a bizarre sort of mental illness that very few of its victims ever recover from. While I find that rather sad, as a practical matter, I simply don't have the time or inclination to engage in endless discussions with the mentally ill. Try the above link if you need help. It is an excellent resource documenting how one of the most cruel, violent and blood thirsty religious cults on the planet came into being.
