religion is for the insecure

God was created by man!

Since the dawn of time man has worshipped or feared or sacrificed people and beasts in the names of a random selection of gods.

Meanwhile religion has been deployed to conquer, control and exploit mankind with wars being fought in the name of religions and religious diversity.

It is interesting to reflect that by far the majority of religous belief and persuasion stems from the distant past when fear of the unknown was rife.

It is also interesting to note that there is not on shred of evidence in support of the existance of god, hence the term faith is used in support of a diety, and who witnessed Moses receiving the ten commandments, who witnessed Mohammed in the precense of the angel Gabriel, and who witnessed Smith receiving the tablets of stone for the Mormons. The answer to all of these is no one.

It is time for mankind to come together, casting aside all of the ridiculous notions of god and a creator. Then perhaps we acn live in a more peacful and harmonious world.
