Comedian Daniel Sloss said something about thanking god after surviving cancer: No, it was the doctors, stupid. (We have tickets to see him soon. Check if he's in your area, he's awesome.)
"God" is the greatest cause of murder and war. It's fucking stupid. In the old testament, he's a fucking dick. Seriously, what an asshole. But "christians" who know nothing about the book they proselytize pretend they have a moral obligation to be assholes to people they don't like.
I've studied and read more historical and educational books on early christianity than any right-wing republican asshole (I live in the USA), I guarantee it. I was on a serious mission for about 18 months after years of casual Wikipedia browsing. But it's not just christians.
Any person who makes their religion known to strangers is a weak piece of shit. Wear a cross, a burka, a kippah, whatever. You suck. It should be private. Advertising your beliefs shows how insecure you are about them. I don't need to prove a goddamn thing to anyone because I'm confident that I'm morally correct. You know why you need "god above"? Because you're not sure what to think without someone telling you what's right and wrong.
I agree, but to fair, a lot of Muslim women do not have the choice to not wear a burka or other head covering.
