”To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.”

Seriously. I really really hate religious people. Not because I am an atheist (wich I'm not, in the strictest sense), but because being religious is (as all ideologies) cowardly. Not cowardly because it gives these people an after life or something to believe in or a goal, but because it gives them an identity. It gives them an identity as a group. It also gives them the notion that since god has spoken to them their group/morality/identity is the real McCoy and applies to the rest of humanity and every other way of looking at the world is... Well... The work of Satan? To many of them are just to into it for the rules, for the identity (despite what they say).

Shit. It just comes out as shit. It is as clear as crystal, but it comes out as shit. I clearly need to get my vocabulary going.

I hate humanity for being weak. For being stupid. For being cowardly. And I hate the god that created us like this. Such a creature cannot exist. And if it does, it must not be worshipped. It is either weak and wrong and defect, or (if it truly is omnipotent, omnipresent and other things starting with omni) it is not benevolent towards us.

”All is not lost; the unconquerable Will
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
That Glory never shall his wrath or might
Extort from me.”

John Milton's ”Paradise Lost”

That said I really like people like Rabia Basri , and I have been thinking about tattooing a quote from her on my hands (whenever that might happen).

“Anything beyond the limits and grasp of the human mind is either illusion or futility; and because your god having to be one or the other of the two, in the first instance I should be mad to believe in him, and in the second a fool”

-Marquis de Sade (as is the quote in the headline)
