“Religion is more than the belief in a supreme being. It is the cult of that supreme being and the belief that his or her wishes have been made known or can be determined.”

Not only do they worship those supreme beings they revere them even though many are hypocritical, manipulative, and worse of all, abusive. It’s disgusting to know that people bow to a dictator of tyranny so easily, yet call Hitler evil.
“I use emotion for the many, and reserve reason for the few” – Hitler; They say history has a way of repeating itself. It only just repeated itself with Hitler.

It is the cult that I fear.

I know what you are saying, Heretic. The main worry I have is that, as soon as the cultists gain any form of ascendancy, anywhere, they try to impose their ridiculous ideas on the rest of us. Now I fear for Egypt and the knock-on effects for the rest of the world.

The Bible says in the last days men will be gripped fear and their hearts will fail them.I fear no cult or religion.But I do fear the wrought God.I believe his Word.Great English I think I see why you became an atheist, if that is the God you know.The God you describe is not the God I know.

Tech: we are not worried about any god – it doesn’t exist, after all. We are talking about people who think they know the mind of such a mythical creation of human paranoia.

I grew up thinking that religion was a good thing: even though I never actually believed in it, it was still a nice metaphor I thought. Frankly, I was shocked as I grew older to realize that there were a lot of people that thought it wasn’t a metaphor; that it was actually real. Shortly thereafter I started calling myself an atheist.
