(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.

I just now read this, and I agree with it. It's like what Karl Marx said, "Religion is the opiate of the masses." Somebody else also said something like "If there was no God it would be necessary for humans to create one." The fact that completely different religions have always risen in human civilizations shows our dependence on the idea of a higher power. People just don't want to believe there isn't one.
