No need for a god.

[hilary]

I just want to put this out there:

At one time gods were needed to explain the world. Why does the sun go away and then come back? Apollo drives it across the sky. Unseen, unprovable, almighty beings. We've phased them out as science has explained phenomena. The main reason modern theists still cling to their one god of choice is that they have not yet been able to conquer fear of death and the chaotic nature of the Universe. Once you embrace that, you have no need of a god.


Heinrich Heine put it best when he said "In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides."

The one reason why so many people still need their god is what else would give the complete moron an excuse to be so smug? My daddy walks on water, neener neener...

Embrace fear and chaos?  That isn't the challenge, it is fear and chaos embracing you ;-(  Phobos and Deimos are the children of Ares/Mars ... the asteroid/moons of that planet.  Be all you can be ... in the US burzurker Armeee ...
