Something that REALLY should have ended somewhere around the enlightenment, such lie peddling inanity ONLY stumbles forward through ritualistic indoctrination, bandwagon, and the reek of willful ignorance amongst the common man.

I've never understood how people can use words like "truth" or "credibility" in relation to halfwitted nonsensical fairy tales about a cruel vain capricious immoral genocidal sky wizard. If this sleazy duplicitous dirtbag is the best imaginary friend the "flood of stupid" that sprang forth from the wellhead of Abraham can come up with, as George Carlin said "I am not impressed"

Of course the pinnacle of how dishonest it is -- the perceived "good" being bookends hiding an agenda of evil -- boils down to the fact the character that gave us knowledge and punishes the wicked is always painted as the villain of the tale. But were supposed to be on our knees to gas-lighting mass-murdering torturous psychopath who created a world where billions live in agonizing suffering through no wrongdoing of their own, begging for forgiveness? Herpafreakingderp!

No matter how many fraudsters, hucksters, and collar wearing morons use the words love, peace, and enlightenment, all that's peddled from every pulpit is hate, bigotry, and ignorance.

It's ALL -- and this goes for all faiths -- based on LIES! And nothing good ever comes from that, no matter how much you've deluded yourself into thinking otherwise.
