God makes much more sense once we stop thinking of him in the children’s Sunday school man in the sky sense and more as an intangible Verb. All the seeming contradictions of conventional fundamentalist versions of God get resolved in the mystical traditions. ✌️🍎🐍
Symbolism, my friend. The stories make a lot more sense when we peer beneath the surface. That most Christians choose not to is more an indictment on people, not the validity of the religion.
Yes

God is a fiction created by savages that couldn't comprehend the nature of the universe.
There are an estimated 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and an estimated 400 billion galaxies in the known universe.
It's the height of human hubris to think "God" sacrificed "His only begotten Son" for the third rock from what we call Sol.

Symbolism is a lie. Especially when people have died in the defense of it.
Freedom of speech and religion are worth dying in the defense of, aren't they? ;-)
Speech, yes. Religion is the bane of humanity.
Idolatry is the bane of humanity.
Religion is idolatry.
Fundamentalist religion is idolatry. Mystical, multi-faith, skeptical meta-religion like what I advocate is a method for overcoming idolatry.
That's not religion, to me.
Religion is codified bullshit.
