All organised religions are about controlling peoples minds. Their body can be controlled by fear, their mind by fear as well. The fear that god will not be happy with what they're doing and take revenge, in this life by making the crops fail, no rain, too much rain, etc. Or the next life, by barring entry to heaven or making them come back as a bug.

Then there's the money aspect. No one was bothered with Jesus, until he got busy kicking out the merchants in the temple. Never ever fuck with the money making aspect of religion.

Believing in god because of the creation myth is like believing a jigsaw isn't a picture because of some missing pieces. If god created the World, why did he do such a lousy job of it?

Throughout the evolution of the World and it's species Darwin is proved right, god is proved (if he exists) to have got it wrong time and time again. Did he create so many creatures that didn't make it.

Live with the fact we're a planet we still don't understand everything about and in an enormous cosmos we still don't understand everything about.
