First, gotta love Slate -- trying to use an oh-so-pitiful bit of manipulation to get us to post our REAL NAMES-- or be called Anonymous Coward. Actually, I think Anonymous Coward has a nice ring to it. It kind of dignifies the act of craven weakness and gives it gravitas. It's like calling Slate an actual magazine. Now, on to God: Harvard used to have a decent reputation, right? Guess maybe I’ll have to consider Hogwarts now—are they accredited? Many questions here: Wonder which God works best? Or which one of the 3 Abrahamic religions are we talking about? Are eastern religions excluded? The reason I’m asking is that the Old Testament God of Judeo Christian belief was a real prick, PMS-ing about, creating floods, practicing infanticide. The son, Jesus, was cool though, according to them. Decent bloke. But, I don’t think I’ll be asking for His help anytime soon. Besides, God’s got his hands full, right? Trying to decide which sports team to support or handling prayers from the sick and dying—or granting children special favor. Wait—that’s Santa Clause. Well, we’ve come full circle; they’re all just all forms of magical thinking, innocuous enough I guess. —I mean, except for the crusades and all. But that's like the Iraq war--everyone's sort of forgotten about it, except for the Iraqis. Seriously, any 2nd year psych student or pot head knows religion fires up the same pleasure center of the brain as drugs. But I can already hear the nut balls out there, the eschatology freaks, the end-timers, the .... never mind. Just pray your asses off. I guess it's good for you. Thank God I’m an atheist.
