Religion

Under no circumstances will I capitalize god. This is ridiculous, it places a positive value/importance on judeo-christian religious practices. If I must discuss the personalities of schizophrenic imaginary friends, then I think Thor is far more interesting and likable. It just denotes a weakness of mind to need to believe in omnipotent imaginary friends to make sense of the world. The only trouble is that the overwhelming majority of people express signs of this weakness. Furthermore most people seem to find it satisfying to reject reason in their pursuit of their imaginary friends. If a small portion population started talking about schizophrenic imaginary friends without the cloak of tradition, then we would collectively deem them neurotic or borderline psychotic. Yet if a large number of people hate each other over differences between their imaginary friends it is considered to be unassailable religious diversity. Why is religious illogical unquestionable. Why is belief considered a good thing? It is just mystical unreasonable assertions veiled in the cloak of tradition!

Read While You Drive!


I simply find it amazing that this is even offered, let alone from amazon. In any event this is too funny to skip.
