"Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."--Jesse Ventura
It's certainly an interesting take on things, but I don't fully agree with it. I believe Juju and I had this discussion a few weeks back...religion gives many people a way to explain the ways of the world. And if that's what some people need to get themselves together, it's cool...just don't force it on me, mmmkay?
One of the incredibly few things I liked about Catholicism was the contextual interpretation of the Bible: The Bible is a great book of faith, but is NOT a history book. The world was not created in 6 days. Abraham and his posse did not roam that small-ass area of Palestine for 40 years. The world will not end as described in Revelation. I can dig that.
But it doesn't matter anyway, since I have my own religion, of which I am a god. ;)
