  8. you are wrong. it is one of the most important questions. belief in gods influences almost everything we do. this question influences the wars we are waging, how we educate our children, suffering and death because of overpopulation and why the republican party acts the way it does.
    man can not advance until the belief that there is invisible man in the sky who wants us to act in a certain way is educated out of the minds of the population.
