I get it though. I was brought up Catholic. Was an altar boy as soon as I could, and even did the 6 am masses at the convent for "extra points". Went to Catholic grade school, high school, even got my masters from a Catholiic University. My four kids ALL attended Catholic grade and high school. I was active in the local church. Was on the parish council....went to mass EVERY Sunday with the family. You are really in a different world. You believe in all this miracle bull shit, and that if you pray, your prayers are going to be answered...."See, it worked for someone...once."
But then I opened my eyes a little wider, and I started hearing voices of intelligent people point out just how absurd it all was....you know, those voices we were instructed to avoid listening to.
Real devout Christians, like real devout Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc, etc....believe strongly in their faiths, because they are all betting on the after life. Those burn in hell stories and sitting at the Right Hand of God stories. Those "you'll get your first pet back, and Mom and Dad will be there to meet you, and on and on and on." As many of them get sick, or get closer to death, they double down. Put ALL their faith in their religion, and since you can't take it with you, and your evil kids/grand-kids that don't buy into that crap don't deserve it....."why not give it to some piece of shit liar charlatan like this parasite? That way you double down on the pearly gates gamble, and your kids/grand-kids didn't love you anyway.....fuck 'em.
I pity these poor bastards....but I really despise these parasites that blemish any good value to religion down to the capitalistic greed factor. Fuck them. Hope there is a hell, and they burn in it for all eternity. They certainly deserve it.
