There's many things that piss me off in this world. But nothing pisses me off more then religious people telling others how they should live their lives. This is naturally a touchy subject, so to those who disagree with me, fuck you and have a nice day... God boy...
For thousands of years people have believed in some form of higher being. The Mesopotamians had about 3500 gods. Each god had a purpose, god of air, god of the sky, god of farming, a god for every fucking thing. Because this is how they explained what happens in every day life. "Why is the sky blue? Because the god of the sky wants it that way!" Everything had an explanation related to the gods.
In Ancient Egypt they had 9 gods, if my memory serves me right. Ancient Greece had their great gods and titans. In every ancient civilization they believed in the wills of the gods. "Why did my son die? He angered the gods." This way the citizens gained a sort of moral code in fear that they might anger the gods.
This was a form of keeping order before there was laws. But even so, early laws were still shotty and law enforcement had not been even close to mastered. Something had to always be in the minds of the people. The wrath of the "gods" was meant to keep these people in line.
Then we move on to the birth of Christian thinking. By this age science was putting some things into perspective. No need for multiple gods to explain why things happened. Most questions could be answered by this time. All but one. How did we get here?
The Adam and eve story was then conjured up and written into a historical book known only as "The Bible" along with some colorful stories about some Jesus fellow and his followers David and Goliath and what have you. To strengthen the common "wrath" of the god, the story of Moses and the 10 commandments was also thrown into the mix. A sort of moral code that is still somewhat followed today.
Thou shall not steal thy nabours donkey - Stealing is bad!
Thou shall not covet thy nabours wife - Cheating is bad!
Thou shall not dishonor thy father - Don't fuck with your maker, dad.
Simple moral codes hidden in a story that many believe is true. The signs are there, you just have to have an open mind to understand that everything you have learned, is a lie. Which brings me to my point. Stop forcing this "god" business onto helpless children who believe everything you fucking tell him. This is like Santa or the Easter bunny. Enough is really enough.
