Okay, here's something wrote back in the mid 1980's. I recently found it while excavating through some old papers.
I'm kinda curious about what I was reading then.

temporal tantrum

I stood in a room, where I was already seated, before I thought to walk in.

As I walked in, I stood up to leave, then sat down to watch myself go.

I looked to my right, and saw myself standing, watching myself come in.

I glanced where I was, and there I still am, looking at me follow behind.

I turned back around, facing myself, and looked myself in the eye.

I stared quietly back, and not liking my look, left as I was just walking in.

 

This next bit is the result of watching and listening to the oh-so-creepy televangelists.   (Member FDIC)

Considering Religion

religion: A belief system that gives people comfort, solace, an explanation of that which cannot easily be explained, and for some, a reason for existence.

religion: A codification of morality, conduct and law which guides societal behavior.

religion: A means of achieving control over others, and shaping what people think, say and do.

religion: Heartfelt beliefs which are callously exploited by those who profess to believe as a lever to pry material gain from those that truly believe.

religion: An excuse for ignorance, intolerance and hatred.

religion: A reason to disaprove.

religion: A way to 'bask in reflected 'glory.' '

religion: Beliefs that one holds to, which engender a feeling of connection to the world around them.

religion: A way to cope with that which is all but beyond endurance.

religion: A thing to make people hate who they are.

religion: A reason not to reason.

A Question:
If a religious person does good deeds in the hope of a future reward, and an Atheist does good deeds without any expectation of reward, does that make the Atheist 'holier'?

Religion is what you make of it.
