It's all about fear

From notes made while buzzed and after watching V for Vendetta.

What is the motivation for religion? Fear of the hereafter and the possibility of the lack thereof. There must be a purpose because I am so fucking special! You are as special as a bacteria, and I dare say that some bacteria contribute more to the world and humanity that some poeple - even generations of them.

Why a pushy gawd-luhvuhs so fucking annoying? The squeaky (loud) wheel gets the grease. These who make the most noise about religion are those who are the most confused and suspicious that it is real. They have doubt and doubt, like thinking, like individuality, is anathema to religion because it works on faith, for which there is no 800 help line, warranty, in-store demonstration, or convincing product literature.

What if gawd is the celestial mechanic? Richard Dawkins, in a video clip that I posted earlier, responded to a student who asked him, what if he was wrong. His response was, what if she was wrong? Something she may never have considered before, or maybe she had but the implication scared her. What if it is the Great Juju Under The Sea? What if gawd is the celestial mechanic - setting the cosmos in motion and after that, hands off?

In V for Vendetta, overcoming her fear of death made Evey free. It made her mind open to more possibilities for good or ill. Gawd luhvuhs are not free and never can be within their system.
