There is something devilishly cruel about the idea that God would create humans possessed by their ideas, ideas with which they would forever war over and willingly sacrifice themselves to defend and advance.
Why would an "immaterial" and infinite God create material and finite creatures (i.e. "human meat puppets") who’s sole purpose for living is to save their eternally sorry (and wholly immaterial) souls from hell, by being forced to fight with their flesh and bones, to their deaths if need be, over which of their wholly "immaterial" ideas are necessarily the "right" ones?
Religions all claim that this was somehow God's "divine plan," even though not a single one of us has ever actually agreed about any of the ideas offered by any religion, at least for very long anyway, which is why we are constantly creating new ones or reinventing and reinterpreting the old ones.
And this cruelty is only compounded by the fact that God, in His infinite wisdom, placed those same eternally ambiguous ideas solely into the kind of minds that are only as unanimous in their disagreements about what those ideas may mean, and thus how they should be exercised or applied, as they are adamant in the need for our willingness to kill and die for those ideas at all costs.
Our "beliefs," in other words, are simply weapons of mass deception, "intelligently designed" to make us believe we are honoring God, when we are all killing each other in his holy name.
Amen.
