What's up, Landover?
I've been reading a few posts on these forums and feel I should tell you a bit of my story.
I'm a 20 year old man who was baptized (in a Baptist church) at the tender age of 7. My parents told me that there's this God fellow whom I must fear in order to go someplace nice when I die. Now, as a young child, you have nary an idea of what death means but the idea of Religion is like trying to convince Freehold to elect a gay mayor or something.
So...I got up there and told them that I accept Jesus in my heart and the pastor man dipped me in the big Jesus pool behind the pulpit and that's that apparently.
Nay! When I got a bit older I started reading these things called "non-Christian books" that contain ideas about things different from the ones in that King James tome. There are gay people in there and they don't prey on children!
And you can think for yourself!
And death is the end.
I would like to end this with a quote from one of my favorite books.
It's from Phillip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle".
"They want to be the agents, not the victims, of history. They identify with God's power and believe they are godlike. That is their basic madness. They are overcome by some archetype; their egos have expanded psychotically so that they cannot tell where they begin and the godhead leaves off. It is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate - confusion between him who worships and that which is worshiped. Man has not eaten God; God has eaten man. What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me; I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it better that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small . . . and you will escape the jealousy of the great."
You guys is Nazis.
