REASONS NOT TO BE RELIGIOUS

Religion gets everything all wrong about sex. Religions consider sex to be basically wrong, with the exception of married sex for the purpose of reproduction. Unmarried people should avoid all sex according to most religious people. Wrong!

Religions consider the God of Nature to be superior to human science; and nature sucks in comparison.

Most abortions (miscarriages) are natural. Birth deformities are natural. Still births are natural. Babies rejected by parents are common in nature. Babies eaten by parents occur in nature. Babies freeze to death in nature. Babies starve to death in nature. Babies suffer horrible diseases in nature. Most diseases have natural causes. Most deaths are due to natural causes.

Human science works hard to oppose these evils of nature.

Nature has no intelligence. Nature has no conscience. Nature is unfair.

The accidental geography of our birth should not determine our religion. Europeans and Americans are born Christian. Far East nations are Buddhist. India is Hindu. Near East people are born Islamic, with a few areas of Judaism and Christianity.

We should all reject the religion of our parents and nation, and start over as weak agnostics. That simply means that we do not have enough evidence for the existence of God.

When people get cancer, they are scared. They often pray for a cure. Then they go to an oncologist. They have surgery. They have chemotherapy. They have radiation treatments. They eat foods to enhance their immune system. If they still die, of course  we never hear from them again.

But if they are cured, they praise God for the rest of their lives. Why not give credit to the surgery, chemo, radiation and immune system?

So the majority of people die after praying, The minority of people who are cured praise God, and ignore the physical reasons for their cure.
