Good God - Philosophizing on God and Religion

[realelvish]

Why the hell am I writing this? Of all the self-centered, self-righteous, pig-headed crap I've done, why am I adding this to the pile? Why am I writing this shit when I know no one will listen, and no one wants to listen

My thoughts on religion, summed up beautifully. :D
Why would I want to worship a being that's even more petty and vengeful than I am?

And that question, how can you have a moral compass without faith, that's just fucking ignorant. Religious or not, we hold ourselves to rules we learn from others, maybe we reflect and expand on them, but we learn from humans, not god.
If you need to be scared of punishment (i.e., hell) to try to be a good person, you have LESS of a moral compass than I do.

Personally, I call myself an apathist agnostic. Don't know, don't care.

I wouldn't say, "beautifully", that was more of a rambling rant. I'd been added to this document since highschool, and felt that it was more or less complete enough to share with the world
