8. "Religion" - a curious phenomenon only "man" subscribes to

Millions have been slaughtered over the millenniums because others did not believe as the people in power did.

USA has "In God We Trust" printed on their currency.

BULLSHIT!

They trust their bombs.

Agnostics however, differentiate from atheists in that they do not deny there is a "superior" being,

just do not know who/what that is.

I was raised as a Christian, sort of. Taken to church every Sunday, sang in 2 different church choirs (didn't mind that part, I like singing) - then in my mid teens my mother started dragging us around to Quakers groups, "Friends" meetings and so on.

In the late 70's I lived in San Diego - got exposed to the Baha'i faith, Scientology and so on . .

On my return, I was again revisited by Jehovah's Witness knocking at my door.

The JW caught me one morning hung over, but lucid, and with an attitude (mine).

After listening to them for a short time telling me I was gonna burn in hell if I did not subscribe to their belief, I informed them of my exposure to many different beliefs.

Told them I do not have time to check out all the religions in the World, -

I figure I'll just live an honest life, treat people well,

and if the spirits that be, or may not be,

do not like me -

well, so be it . . .
