What I find amusing about western religions is man’s vanity to assume their god (gods) resembles man. What I find sad is attaching one’s self to a belief solely because the though of life after death, or the lack of it, is unacceptable. What I find abhorrent about religion is the number of people killed in the name of it. However, rather like the Internet, I doubt the creators of the various mythologies intended for fanatics etc,. to put their own spin on things, they just wanted to create a code of conduct for us all to live by within our own environments; what we would call “Christian values”. Unfortunately, we’re not born with “Christian values”, we have to learn them and to make sure we’re practising them we’re told we’re being watched by god who will take such terrible retribution if we don’t comply. Yet when the innocent perish in disasters such as bomb blasts, tsunamis and earthquakes etc., we’re told, “Ah, that’s the will of good”, or “the lord moves in mysterious ways.” Ho fucking ho. Am I an agnostic? You tell me.
