Only My Opinion

(7)

The preceeding posts bring us logically to the question of what exactly is 'religion?' Does God enjoy our suffering? Is God going to burn our sorry asses in Hell after we die? Or are these concepts rather the inventions of the priests who profit from our fear? There is no question that 'religion is business.' There is no question about that. Pat Robertson, for example, makes a good living from his 'religion business.' And business is business. Is modern religion really a universal scam designed to fool the unsuspecting devotee who is seeking answers to existential questions?

I think so.

I think that as a result of this universal scam 'religion' has prospered and blossomed. I think that as a result of this universal scam infants are sexually mutillated. I think that as a result of this universal scam people all over the world have slaughtered each other for thousands of years.

This is only my opinion, of course.
