I agree with 90% of what you say, especially about the Gang-stars that are taking over the country. However, I would like you to consider the possibility that perhaps when the patriarchs of the major religions got together and came up with let's call it a 'fiction', they were not doing it to spread violence and hatred throughout the world. They were doing it because they saw there WAS violence and hatred in the world, and they felt that by creating a being let's call him God, who would always be watching you, know what was in your heart, and hold you accountable for your actions even when nobody in the entire world was watching you, they could create a better world. And it arguable somewhat worked. Religion has done a lot of good in the world. When religion does work it organizes people along a shared set of beliefs and goals. Israel is arguably at war with Palestine, and every other semitic peoples other than Jews, but they are not at war with themselves. Jews share a common heritage and set of traditions that has allowed them to identify themselves and maintain their identity for 2000 years despite attempted genocide. Victory for religion. Christianity when it was practiced in Europe created some of the greatest art and monuments of mankind. Victory for Religion. Islam during it's heyday created the most advanced civilization on the planet. The Taliban was able to keep people from growing dope in Afganistan during it's heyday. Victory for religion. It could be argued that the pyramids were a religious monument. Victory for religion.
The problem is that despite their best efforts the patriarchs (of the major religions) were not able to change human nature. Over time their ideals and vision became corrupted, and religion became the reason for wars. My point is that even if there were not religion people would still find a reason to kill each other. Rather than kicking someone out of ones home and off of the family farm because they are not 'Jewish', they would be kicking someone off the farm because they had the wrong color skin, or the wrong types of shoes, or just because they weren't in the cool club. Violence and hatred are not the sole domain of organized religion. So what do you do when the secular world has become corrupted, witness the thugs in blue as you call them, and the Gang-stars making a living on the meth highway? I would argue that it is a time for a new religion. The religion should be inclusive, and create a brotherhood for mutual support, call for abstinence from alcohol and tobacco, and encourage scientific progress and the pursuit of knowledge. The religion would be a force for good until it too became corrupted, and then it would be time to toss it out and start a brand new one. I just do not see that the secular world based on unchecked greed being able to create a sustainable society. Some people are able to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Those are the blessed. Others need to have a firm belief of a vengeful God that will wipe their ass all over hell if they screw up.
That is just my 2 pennies.
You seem like a reasonable person, and I understand how you could hate religion, and call it a joke. I just don't see any alternative. What would be your alternative?
