Pretending to be God

[God]

If you read the Bible critically, you will see major flaws and outright contradictions. The same goes for other major religious texts. What is important in this world is helping others live their lives peacefully and allowing them to be their own person. I created you so that you could be yourselves and live your lives to their fullest, not so that you could blindly follow a cult that speaks and acts in my name.

Like a parent I appreciate a thank you every now and then, but to waste the precious life I have given you praising me and telling others to do the same is inane. Smile not for Me, but for yourselves. Come to your own conclusions on how to treat others, collaborate, reach a common goal. This is what life is truly about.

Take this lesson, my children, and carry it in your heart - not on your lips.
