Maybe it's just that everyone needs someone to hate. So the aethists are bearing the brunt of it.
Like a group of kids at school who hang together and exclude newcomers, religions need to have someone to despise and point the finger at?

I can't get down with organized religion. I think that perhaps one of the big mysteries of life is that religion is false, and that the kingdom of God is right here, right now...only we're too caught up in our limited view of the world to be able to do anything about it.

I've mentioned on this board before that I think dark matter is spirit energy, since we cannot measure it...just as we cannot measure our own spirit energy...and it's out there in the universe en masse. I also think that if in your spiritual form you are limitless, it woudl stand to reason that the real punishment of the soul is to be trappped in a fixed, human form...down here wallowing in the trough of shit that we call life.

I have some different opinions I suppose. I'm not bitter about things...just don't see how one could hope to attain heaven in a place like this. The excess and abuse that hapen on the most fundamental levels make it almost impossible if you choose to believe any religious doctrine.

I'm not saying that I reject religioon, rather that I embrace all religions because I don't know who's got it right. I'd hope that somewhere, someone has the straight dope...perhaps the buddhists since they never seem to be balls deep in war and death.
