A Perfect Summation

[hora_somni]

I spotted a bumper sticker yesterday that perfectly summed up why I hate religion (and spirituality in general): "Don't Worry, God's In Control!" Blech. If that's the case, then he's doing a crappy job and should retire in disgrace as quickly as possible.

Heh... Reminds me of a story that an Instructor Pilot I knew in the AF used to tell. He was teaching a Saudi Pilot how to fly and F-4. It's a typical practice during an advanced lesson to put the plane intoa flat spin and allow the student to recover. In one case a frustrated student threw up his hands and declared that "It is all in the hands of Allah" ... he failed his lesson and was subsequently reassigned to flying desks

What for?

Sheesh. That's about the worst situation I can think of for throwing up the hands and letting god handle it. I do also agree that there is an unbelievable disparity about having to be sensitive to everybody's religious choices EXCEPT in the case of no religion. I have been told that being an atheist makes me an elitist since I think everybody who believes in god is under some sort of delusion (which is kind of true), but it’s somehow NOT elitist to say “Since I’m a [whatever], I am God’s chosen people and everybody else is going to hell”. What’s that all about??
