Anywho, I read it and it sums up my idea of God pretty well. God is just "too convenient" for me to believe that He isn't just a figment of people's imaginations. I mean, He's there to listen to your prayers and perhaps grant them. He gives reason to good people dying (it was their time; God needs them now) and He is pretty much the fallback for most people (thing are bad now, but God will take care of it). When you've done something wrong and you feel really bad about it, just tell God about it and everything will be alright. Does it not seem that God can just be TOO convenient and provide the answer that humans just CAN'T live without?

Also, it's amazing how much atheists are totally SHUNNED in American society (I cannot speak so much for other societies). Somehow, I'm an ignoramus for not believing in God. It's pretty irritating that, even though my belief seems to be based more on FACTS, I'm just retarded for not believing in God (almost as if God OBVIOUSLY EXISTS). Pretty annoying. I leave this paragraph with a snippet straight out of my Facebook (It was a comment on a picture I posted up that I got from here; basically mocking the idea of Jesus):

Funny how "atheist are homos" is probably the idea most Catholics have (get it, they hate homos too?). Also, sad that behind closed doors, Krystiana is quick to discuss atheism with me. However, on Facebook, she isn't atheist. *SIGH*

I have a big problem with religions as a whole (note: religion and belief in God are two separate things). It just seems like an organization of people pushing their beliefs on others and trying to control what they do. They put constraints on what can/cannot be done and basically, it's a restraint on life. I mean, Muslims and Jews will never eat bacon (that was a quasi-joke, but you get my drift)! It's just sad for me to see people live blindly for a religion that may or may not be correct in what they preach. Their whole life was devoted to this religion and they miss out on the more important things in life, like bacon (again, bacon is a mere symbol for the finer things in life...though nothing is finer than bacon).
