Here is my rant on a 'supreme being'
Let's say for the sake of argument that there is a GOD.
Ask yourself for a minute what you would want out of your people if you were a GOD that created them but left them no real instructions about how and if they should worship you and you have left no undisputed proof of your existence.
Personally, I would want all of my people to be 'groovy' with each other, not kill, not steal, shit like that. And if I was the landlord of some immortal vacation spot in the sky called heaven then my entry requirements would be simple: were you generally a good person that tried not to hurt people but rather tried to help them, or were you an asshole that spent most of your life only looking out for yourself while you screwed everyone else over?
It would not be dependent on what building if any you sat in on any given Sunday and sang dodgy songs about this and that, or how many "hail marys" or "our fathers" you recited daily.
All organized religions at their cores try to do the same thing: make their followers good humble people that contribute positively to society. But in practice most churches and such mess it up and created religious zealots who take the almighty position that their way is the 'only' way and if you're not doing it the same way, then you're fooked.
Bollocks! It's all bollocks!
