This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 12, 2009:
None. I practice no religion. I know that religion is the opiate of the masses. When they could be doing something constructive like objectively learning to better their lives they are instead praying and believing in magic. This is absurd. Show me magic and I might believe, but not today.
Man must rely on reason and their senses to make do in this world, not on mysticism and magic, which are not sensible. Religion is the great crippler of mankind. Religious people rely merely on heresay of other men's revelations that wre exclusive to them. So, is it more probable that a man shall have a revelation, or that he should lie? Easy answer.
Religions are mere myths to me, and I will always know this. All religious texts have been in the hands of tyrants for centuries and could have been modified to control societies many times.
No religion for me, I rely on philosophy, freedom, my own mind is my "church."
The evidence is the GLORIOUS RENAISSANCE, when men of ability in Europe disobeyed religion and discovered many sciences. Because man went against religion, today we live ten times better than the kings of their age.
I know that man is his own "God" and man is a hero. Intelligent men need no religion to rule them, they are free.
