Oooh...delusions of grandeur...gotta love 'em.

Some people feel the need for an answer to every unsolved question. I'm quite willing to accept "I don't know," instead of making up a completely improvable, and no more plausible than anybody else's, story about how it happened.

Ah, but you imply that you DO know, merely by saying that religion (I prefer "spirituality," I don't personally ascribe to "religion," myself. ) is silly and a waste of time. You don't KNOW that. You BELIEVE that, but you can't say that you KNOW. And merely because something hasn't been proven doesn't mean it can't be.

Religion is the manifestation of humanity's insecurities and inability to think about more than their self.

Again, your opinion, not necessarily reality. Others may feel differently. Merely because people desire to believe in something bigger than themselves is not necessarily an insecurity, and the very belief in a creator, however one chooses to picture it/him/her is looking beyond oneself.


Oh, and it's "themselves," btw...
