I'm with Bill Maher, probably one of the smartest people on the planet right now. At least when it comes to seeing things how they are. If we as a civilisation want to advance we have to rid ourselves of ancient rites and bs stories about long-haired hippies walking on water...
Yes, I am against religion. I am not however against religious people. Whatever makes you a good man. If you are good man because you believe there is a God and you will go to heaven by doing good deeds: perfect, congratulations, it's all good with me.
The problem is when people start claiming that what they believe is the truth, or the one truth, or the only truth. Because let's face it, you don't know. No one knows, even the freaking Pope doesn't know. And it is probably a pretty safe bet to say if you did know you'd probably not right here right now... So don't give me any bollocks about space daddy watching us.
But again, if it makes a good man, it's all good with me. Because if you're an ass then I don't care if you're an ass because you're a Muslim, or christian, or a Buddhist. You're an ass ... point.
I could go on for ever, you get my point  Personally I can live very well with the fact knowing that I'll get eaten by worms and that I am an absolutely insignificant grain of nothing in a huge universe.
The most spiritual I will probably get is that I admit: I could imagine there being some sort of energy being built up during the course of our lives. And as with all energy, it simply turns into another form of energy, it never disappears. But that's about as far as I would go...
Long thread, this one will probably stick around for a couple of decades
