Question God

"The more i study religions, the more i am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself." - Sir Richard Burton (1812-1890)

I finally got myself a scanner, so you can now enjoy this completely basic stick-drawing without the ugly paper-shade and graininess!

Anyway, this one should be pretty straightforward.

When people are offended that you are questioning god, they are really just upset that you are questioning them and everyone who taught them this stuff growing up.

Anger is always their first reaction because, besides being lead to believe that dismantling their religion is "hurting" them, they know they have no convincing answers to any of your questions. So, they would rather claim authority (without earning it) in an attempt to put a stop to all questioning, encouraging everyone to ignore and demonize doubters, while minimizing the suffering caused at their religion's encouragement.

When humans (and human-written books) are the only conveyors of the thoughts of all gods, and these people refuse to show you any of these gods, and no one agrees on which gods are real or not, or even on certain aspects of the same god (33,000+), the only useful conclusion is that belief in the existence of gods is most likely a false assumption, and an utter waste of time, energy and money.

And when these gods support slavery, genocide, and discrimination, it's important to point out to people, "This is not a roll model, and we must question anyone who would intentionally choose to ally themselves with a being who has ever given these laws, because inevitably, they are allying themselves with people who do follow these laws, and making those people stronger and more influential..."

Suspect anyone who tries to limit your curiosity!!!
