Religion seems completely worthless to me. I am not an atheist, but it's just annoying. Especially the extremely religious people, where all they think about is always doing good, and never disobeying god.
EDIT: I fixed the bolded part and the word 'atheist'

many stories in the bible are in fact made up, but they're there to make a point, not for you to think that they're true. And... Well, some of the stories, like Noah's arc, were based on real events. There was an actual flood, and it happened at the end of the last ice age because the ice had melted, which was about the time the agricultural revolution began. Exactly, and those who wrote them were divinely inspired, meaning that everything did have a purpose. It's just when the Catholics were assembling the Bible during the early years of the church that many of the original gospels were changed or disregarded completely. And Toboe, what exactly do you find offensive about people who don't want to disobey God? I just don't understand that considering that 1) it's their life, and 2) obeying God is kind of a good thing, and you don't have to be a Christian to recognize most of the lessons in the Bible are good.

As I've said before, those people are a mockery to religion.

Not until the apocalypse.
In my beliefs, the apocalypse is when all morons will be wiped off the planet, leaving the people who have a sense of reason to bring rise to a new order.

I've read about the ragnarok. It sounds awesome. With Jormungand and Nidhogg and Thor and Odin and what not.
