1. How convenient for these sick punks
Mon Jan 30, 2012, 12:19 AM

They get to do *anything* they want to *anyone*--their wives, their children--and all they have
to do is go talk to their imaginary friend--and they are absolved.

I really, really despise this aspect of religion more than any other.

Religion teaches you that all you have to do is have a conversation in your own head--to your
big daddy in the sky--and all is right with the world. You don't even have to be accountable to
your victims. You don't have to apologize or make it right.

Just have a two-way conversation in your own head with a supreme being--and that makes it
all a-ok.

How many adulterers, violent abusers, pedophiles and narcissists who have destroyed lives--maybe
even for generations to come---have never been held accountable because of this noxious, amoral
belief that "all is well" if we take 30 seconds to have a mental conversation about it?

It really sickens me!
