We have been battling with ourselves and opinion on why in the fuck we are here, where did we come from and what religion is the correct one.Lets turn to Vine Deloria Jr;
"...non-Western people did not "evolve" their beliefs; they remembered events that they survived. We have cast aside these experiences because they did not fit into a neat package that explained creation, be it YHWH or the Big Bang theory, and spent our time convincing ourselves that we are the only example of intelligence in the universe. Thus our present knowledge is illusory because we have excluded so much data that the anomalies now outweigh doctrinally compatible evidence."
" The problem with the science/religion confrontation today is that science-particularly evolution- is offered as a secular alternative to the biblical explanation of how things began. Science has been trying to answer an essentially religious question and seems not to have noticed that its answers will always be mere substitutes for the original concepts in the religious equations. Thus, to dethrone god as the originator of life and substitute "mother nature" or " blind chance ," as science has done, is simply to remain within the original framework of inquiry and to fail to ask the proper question. When science tries to answer questions such as that of the origin of life, the answers become a religious statement. Question a scientist about the problem and you will get a defensive response as emotional as anything you would hear from a fundamentalist."
The point is does it matter where we are from? Do we need a creation story or can we accept the fact that we are here and that is that. Lets follow the basic concepts of humanity and respect other humans. Life is strange and weird and we dont know exactly where we came from but we are here and that is all that matters. Religion gives us a comfort but dont prostitute religious views to give you free reign to act however you want. This is the philosophy of the religious right which has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with control. Basically it is an obfuscation on how they wish their life was. Sorry, We have parents for that and I feel sorry for the people who have hit rock bottom and decide the best way to remedy their situation is to try and control other people. News flash look in the mirror and realize you are not the best people for this adventure. There is no magic tonic to escape from your misery and just because someone says they can make the past disappear they really can't. It's kind of like saying," Iam just waiting to win the lottery" Wake up and realize that this will never happen and you have to create your life from yourself, there is no easy answer or magic potion.
