(my two cents)

Generally, god is a way for people to explain the unexplainable. I'm sure you're all aware of this. It's a concept brought to the masses by people wanting to control and instill fear in people without having to threaten them for themselves. In Medevil (sp?) times the church used god as a way to control people - to keep them in line. It's widely known that the roman catholic church has beeen corrupt from the get go, yet people justify the religon by insisting it enspires people to do what's right. Well fuck - you don't need a religon to do that - if you can't decide what's right, then you need a moral workover. Nothing more, nothing less - you shouldn't NEED a figurehead in the sky to fear and pray to when you want something to go your way.
