Okay, I don’t believe in any Wonderful God or evil Devil, but in my opinion, if the Devil’s the kind of guy who advocates sex, drinking, partying, and people like Pyro, Anarch, and Maddox, well, I know who I’d rather side with.

I mean, what kind of merciful god says, “If you don’t live the way I want you to, well, I’m not gonna force you, but after you die there’s gonna be some bad shit happening to you. And by the way, there is no way to prove any of this and if you try you’re going to hell.”

Come on. Give me a break.

Here’s another thing: there is no universal Set of Morals. If everybody who’s been told “you’re going to hell” actually went to hell, there’s be no people in heaven. Like Galileo. They said he was blaspheming just because he pointed out that the Earth went around the sun. Hey, guess what. HE WAS RIGHT!

It wasn’t actually his theory, though. It was Copernicus’s theory. Copernicus couldn’t even publish anything until he was on his deathbed, because of the shit the church would put him through if he said anything before.

Here’s the real clincher here: Anyone know WHY this theory was considered blasphemous by the church? Anyone?

Because if the planets rotated around the sun, they couldn’t rotate around the Earth. They denied scientific and mathematic evidence simply because somebody once had looked up at the sky and said, “Oh, look, the sun moves. It must revolve around us.”

This again proves that people are rather stupid and would rather continue to be stupid than to change their minds. If we all reacted like that we’d be sitting around in caves trying to make that ‘fire’ thing happen again.

I forget where I was going with this, but I did find a cool quote:

"geometry is of the devil," and "mathematicians should be banished as the authors of all heresies." - Dominican Father Caccini

Heck, if that’ll get me out of math class, I might just become religious.
