hahaha very well said
I love it when people say that God is infinite and all powerful but their particular view is the correct one despite the fact that millions of religions have existed before the Hebrew faith and many of them for much longer periods of time.
It's like when people say "man is more successful than dinosaurs" when the reality is that dinosaurs reigned for about 160 million years (from the first catagorized 'dinosaur' to the last)... we're about 130 THOUSAND years old. Or that America is the most powerful nation on Earth and in hostory when we're celebrating our 200th birthday while Rome's last party was their 1,500th. We gotta little while before we can call ourselves successful by any stretch of the imagination. But people want to assume things that make themselves feel better. Like their football team is the best, the game console they have is the best, their religion is the best, their opinion is best, etc etc. When it all really comes down to what level of psychosis and/or education the person has. :D
There is no question that there is a higher creative force in the universe beyond our comprehension but is it definitely not a dog-headed gatekeeper or an old white man in a throne nor does it involve nude flying children or gold cities (which I never understood, copper was more valuable than Gold during biblical times, I guess this was another catholic re-write)
