Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Just one of my favourite quotes against religion

religion is man made.the spirit isn,t.i always think if someone hasn,t had a spiritual exp then they cannot really talk about the power of god.i go to church but it is pretty low key on religious acts.mainly we just sing and listen to bible readings or a talk to do with the reading and how it comes into play in 2013.

phildavies wrote:Russell's teapot also points out how ludicrous religion is
If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes.
But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense.
If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

Ludicrous - When you ask deeper questions like - How was man and woman actually created ? How was the earth formed ? The teapot theory is is just that

I can't see how an educated person in our day and age can still believe in a god or gods.
But anyway as with many things we will have to agree to disagree
