"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you... and HE NEEDS MONEY!"

I would like to see a freethinking president!
I would like to see an adult president at this point!! Lol
@PurpleSylice hahaha! True!
Remember, when something appears clearly Bat-shit crazy, you are the problem, because you lack faith, you doubting Thomas, you. Just keep reciting "the Lord works in mysterious ways," and that will take care of those pesky facts the heathens like to hit you with. Now let's practice our bleating like virtuous sheep! Praise the Lord! [Insert sarcastic tone here]

I loved George on religion because he makes it so clear that religion is "Bullshit." My religious friends can't stand him. I have always wondered if I believed in something that was clearly not true and someone pointed out why it's obviously not true, would I accept it or would I hate the messenger?

@SACatWalker I have concluded that I accept the new more accurate information. I'm wrong all the time, and I admit being wrong and I am usually pretty thankful to the person correcting me. But then again I'm not losing a promised eternity in heaven when I'm wrong. I usually just feel embarrassed.
It's programing. When people who want to control others establish a system from cradle to grave that requires the suspension of disbelief to earn eternal rewards - the believers become quite docile and easy to control - like a well planned cattle chute going into a slaughter house.

If you could shorten that statement somehow, it would be a very useful meme.
