Well in this instance I find the very idea of a big magic man in the sky to be laughable, so I choose not to read into it any further. Organised religion is just not something that I want to be a part of, none of it. If there really was a god I'm sure it wouldn't want us to follow some silly old rules to live our life by, it would just let us be. Man created the idea of a god out of pure fear and as a way to explain what we could not understand. We then created religion as a political means to control people using that fear. That is how I see it, and I want no part in it. Logic tells me there is no such thing as god, any god, and the fact that different cultures pray to totally different ones with different rules is just, to me, further proof that the idea of such a thing is ludicrous.

If something interests me then I will read up on it, but if the very basis of an idea is, to me, laughable, then I will not waste any of my time on it. It's like me saying I have an idea on how to use a bicycle to reverse time; you know it's a bollocks idea so would you still listen to the rest of it all anyway?
