My only problem with religion (creationism, the ark story, etc) is that it is an institutionalized lie.
When the crazy dude in the cardboard box scrawls “the Easter Bunny is coming – REPENT!”, he is looked upon with a combination of pity and distain. Because it is clear he is deluded. Nobody believes his lies.
When a crazy dude in a robe screams “if you are attracted to people of the same sex – REPENT”, from the pulpit, people nod their heads and push their kids closer.
Lame.
Atheism is the only way to go. It really puts a lot of control in your life. You can stop blaming higher powers for your failures and successes.
