Re: Ridiculous things to do with religion
The last funeral I went to was overseen by a wizard too. It was the first since I decided wizards were completely full of shit, rather than maybe/probably;y full of shit.
His stuff about my dead auntie going to a better place where her life would be better than the one she had just departed and all of that rung so completely hollow and untrue to an extent that surprised even me. I could have screamed at the man. The victory of wishful thinking over hard reality and the ability for one group of scheming people to exploit that....

Re: Ridiculous things to do with religion
Having not been to any services for some time before this (the previous being her ordination) one of the things that struck me intensely was the change of speech mode from the honcho wizard. He gave a sermon with a very chatty style of speech. At the end of which, a prayer was made. The change of voice and speech style was quite startling. Suddenly it became very solemn, obsequious. It was as if it was a signal to the cong to get serious. Difficult not to laugh.

If God hates atheists/infidels/homosexuals/adulterers so much, why did he make so many of them?

Re: Ridiculous things to do with religion
My definition of religion:
A bunch of people sitting in a dark room, believing that it's a beautiful, warm, sunny day outside and telling each other they're right, and anyone who disagrees is thrown out into the cold, dark night.

Religion is something that we would be extremely embarrassed about if we were somehow transported to the future. Hopefully, the NEAR future.
