in the christian part of the world not many of us have escaped the much hyped and published sacrifice christ supposedly made when the romans executed him.. i myself was going around for years parroting this strange concept without giving it much thought.

thinking and faith some times do not mix very well.. anyway, apparently god made a royal blunder when he created the first humans and they plunged mankind into death and despair first crack out of the box, while god stood by and watched helplessly.

then we are told that god for this reason, in his infinite wisdom took mankind for ransom for thousands of years.

both political and religious true believers often distinguish themselves by their limitless arrogance towards people who dare hold different opinions from them.

every thing has to be done on their terms; people who think differently cant expect to have the same rights as those who consider themselves true believers.
