God is Pretend. He is make-believe. A Santa Claus for grown ups.

Unlike science which has its roots during periods of enlightenment in human history, religion has flourished during the darkest and most uneducated times. Religion has served well over time as a tool for the ruling class to wield to keep the lower classes in check. I believe this purpose carries on today.

Science results in discovery. Revelation. Religion seeks to keep people in the dark by attributing earthly events to the actions of an invisible deity. Not knowing the complete and specific origin of something does not mean that it was summoned by a god.

What’s my story? I live in the Bible Belt. I see religion at its “finest” every single day. I see the division it creates. I see the hatred and envy it spawns. It perplexes me to see the same people who claim to embrace peace and charity constantly judging others.

I see no convincing evidence that there is any need for a god in today’s society.

Also, please do not think that I am one of those “This is my point-of-view, but I’ll respect yours too” kind of people. I am not. I find the very notion of religious belief ridiculous to the nth degree, and anyone who has set aside logic and critical thinking enough to espouse religious belief is undeserving of respect.

If you have any questions or comments, please check my FAQ page for the answers first. If your topic is not covered there, please email me at whereisthisgodfellow@gmail.com. If it’s not too stupid, I just might reply. ( <– That last part is directed at the religious people who feel the need to email me to tell me that they’ll be praying for me or some such nonsense.)
