There seems to be a lot of God Bashing going on, here and elsewhere, and it makes me uncomfortable. For many people religion provides a system of ethics, and psychological support and in the most part they are similarly designed to help humans to live together in healthy supportive populations. I believe its a fact of human existence to NEED the kind of psychological support and validation provided by religion. Many religions were formed to support and advise people in the distant past so its not really surprising that some teachings seem a little outdated, but humans still have two legs and two arms and one heart etc. Humans are still able to hurt each other emotionally and psychologically as well as physically, and in GENERAL the teachings of any religion are about preventing that hurt. I dont care what name you put on your particular figurehead, nor what kind of Mythos you believe in, or indeed anything else that you choose to believe. Ill fight for your right to say and believe what you choose, but only so long as you dont try to suggest that theres evidence for your faith or that your faith is more valid than any other. As soon as you start spouting hate and intolerance, you and I are going to have a problem! Deal?
