"If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion."
-Edmond de Goncourt
So what are believers to do with the examples of "odd-balls" I've posted below? There is not a thing they can do about it! It must be terribly frustrating to see people who proclaim the same precepts that you do throw in the extra stuff that you would never say yourself because you're too kind, thoughtful, or worse, afraid. The problem with religion is that it is open to personal interpretation. You'd think that a god would have recognized the myriad of problems which would arise from giving "free will" to the people.
My thoughts... there is no god thinking this stuff through. There is no way we humans can surmise that a god exists. Religion is man-made, plain and simple. This is the explanation that makes sense to me. An unseen god, especially the Christian God, makes no sense considering the current state of the our world.
