God is like beauty... it's in the eye of the beholder.
However... religion on the other hand is a proven sham, in many cases a self proven sham. As if that were not enough of a problem even after that people pick and choose what to believe out of that compounding to the "sham" factor.
Anyone know of anyone who does any of this on religious grounds...
We would not allow women into a church for 33 days after giving birth to a male child and 66 days after giving birth to a female child. (Leviticus 12:4-5)
We would not eat pork, lobster, shrimp, clams or crab meat. (Leviticus 11:7,12)
We would execute people for having affairs. (Leviticus 20:10)
Add that to the crazy train of the clergy in child sex abuse scandals and even if one could somehow extrapolate out why, that of all things, God would allow this to be perpetrated by his chosen representatives... you still couldn't trust the church because you'd never know if the representative was good or bad!
Religion is soooooo obviously a man made response to fear of the unknown that has been perverted so many times over history just to benefit certain power brokers it's not even arguable.
