Re: God/Religion. Why?
Outside of answering the big questions there isn't really that much point to religion to be perfectly honest. As you suggested in a thread of your own not that long ago, sports fill most of the same functions in society. There are alot of other ways for people to find the sense of belonging religion offers. Aside from attempting to provide answers to the ultimate questions, religions really aren't anything more or less than any other organization people choose to be a part of. Actually, I'd much rather be at an Eagles game than sitting in a room with a bunch of other people listening to someone preach about things I believe.
If you don't feel the need to have a religion to answer those questions, there's not really any reason to have one at all as far as I'm concerned. Maybe there's more to it I'm missing, and have been missing since the days when I actually was religious, I don't know.
For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.
