Is it Worth It to Suck Up To God?

Story is here.

There is no God. And the one that is described in the Bible is one neurotic, meglomaniacal SOB. it's all just fairy tales geared to controlling and shaking down the gapejawed masses.. You ought to read "Escape from Freedom" by Erich Fromm sometime and you would find out why people tend to get caught up in that crap.

You also ought to read Voltaire's "Candide," where he ruthlessly lampoons Leibniz.

The actual secret to life is that you make the best of it you can and then you become worm food. That may not be very reassuring, but it is realistic in a cold eyed rational way and it inherently urges one to savor as much of your time on the planet as you can. .
