And how do we know that it is your job to bestow this wisdom upon us?

Ahhh......God told me? 

Amen, brother moses Couldn’t agree more. My experience of religious people suggests that it’s ok to sin as we’ll be forgiven. It’s ok to ruin this world, ‘cos we’re going to a better one. What a waste of the one life we have and the one planet we have to live it on.

Most of the humanists and atheists that I know make an effort to treat others with love and kindness, or if that is not possible, to at least not mess with other people’s minds and egos.

God is humankind’s attempt to take star-fuckering to the Nth degree.

It isn’t what ya do but WHO ya know.

Our job is to do the best we can. Our job is to make life a little easier for everyone by “helping out� and being there when needed. Our job is to live life, (and die) with a bit of class and a state of grace!

That sounds about right… leave out all the nonsense about the collector of prepuces, and I’ll go along with you.

Zilch, stop that!

I also don’t agree that there’s a God, nor does the deliverance of this message sit well with me. But I’ll agree with the bit Zilch quoted and some of the other points about not judging. 

The premise of the rant is decent enough, however, the problem I see here is that every believer out there seems to know what this fictional god wants or doesn’t want.  This rant doesn’t appear to be an exception.  And why is it that everything is or isn’t our ‘job’ to do.

The reality as ‘I’ see it, is that our lives have no cosmic purpose.  We are just here.  There is no job for us to do or not do.  However, in order to maintain a civil society that is more pleasant for everyone involved it is helpful to treat yourself and others with respect.

Let’s get things back into perspective here! Even though I do believe in a God,that’s as far as I will go. By it’s very definition and nature this Cosmic Force is unknowable, and my gripe is that everyone who is religious keeps claiming to know the “Mind of God,” which is utter bullshit. That’s not what we should be concerning ourselves with. Anything we do - should be for our benifit, not Gods’.
God doesn’t need any help.

Thanks for the clarification!

Moses have you ever seen the “documentary” ( ) What the Bleep do We Know? What you have stated just reminds me of a lot of the statements made in the movie.

Heard about it---will now get it! Thanks
