Talk about heaven and hell

Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
Mark Twain


Twain was an atheist as well...love his work too...sheer genius.

What pisses me off is when religious people preach the utter lunacy of HELL and HELL FIRE to little children...it has to have a serious detrimental effect on them, and I seriously consider it "child abuse" to frighten them with unproven superstition and fairy tales of eternal punishment for "sin".

Not to mention all their friends who were of different faiths that were destined for the devil's furnace...what an incredibly sick outlook on life for a kid to start with.

Of course, religions always try to "get 'em while they're young"...pretty awful, in my opinion.

Child abuse, plain and simple!

Ian
