Today I woke up clouded by the irrationality of millions of people claiming to follow the tenents of a desert man who allegedly lived thousands of years ago and never published a thing of what he spoke or thought.
Are we to think that absolutely no one else during this time frame had anything else of value to say?
And why choose him over all the others? Or, why limit living your lives to "follow" one person's tips on morality and community?
I am beginning to think that today's religious "faithful" are really just modern imperialists--albeit, practicing their craft on an individual level rather than on a national level. The totality of today's expressions of religious faith is really just a policy of extending an individual’s authority by economic, social/cultural, and political means over other individuals and doing so in the name of religion.
