I don’t follow any mystical and mythical concept like god. And this nation, and any others would be better off without their gods. Ever notice how “gods” are some of the most major flash points between cultures? Something that can’t be proven, can’t be touched or seen, doesn’t speak back or communicate in a first person, something that has the consistency of fog, yet this something guides, commands, demands and seeks worship by humans the world over.

And many of use do it. Sick.

One could argue that plenty of folks see God and religion as a source of grace, mercy and compassion, too, so it ain’t all bad.
