Based on fairy tales.
A hammer of the gods. An elephant god. A snake god. An evil spirit. A good spirit. An all seeing all knowing...as in the religion in which I was raised.
No one has ever been able to explain to me why an all knowing, creator of all, created the angels, including Lucifer but didn't foresee the downfall etc etc......then have to be born as your own son and etc etc.......makes ZERO sense.
Religion is dangerous. The way to rid the world of this dangerous substance is NOT through violence and hatred. It is through knowledge, understanding, learning and teaching. Critical thinking. No superstition. No knock on wood, rabbits foots, four leaf clovers, lucky penny...magical water...magic beads...special incantations...there is ZERO proof that any of these work. ZERO. Now with that said there are theists and deists that will ask an anti-theist or an atheist to show PROOF that there is NO god...well it is on the believer to show proof.
Does this mean atheists know...absolutely not. But atheists will never make that leap p the face of faith mountain and come to an immediate conclusion. Proof is needed. Questioning is necessary and then questioning again.
So, we need to work to rid the world of this poison before there is no world for us.
