There is no "god". Religion is a myth created by overly testosteroned men who want to make a cult that will empower them throughout thousands and thousands of years. Religions destroy. Religions subjugate. Religions create hatred. Religions make women servants. Religions are cults who deceive and destroy to gain wealth and power. Religions and the men who follow them have a single agenda...destruction of everything and everyone who does not support their murderous drive of complete and supreme wealth and control of the planet.

Religion and the men who promote religion have always destroyed our planet and always will continue to destroy our planet. It is a fact.

Imagine any of us witnessing a horrible event and doing nothing. God, if there is a god, has witnessed them throughout history

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus, 341-270 BC
