Smithy714, 64

Just a Realist Personally I'm very much like "Shrek" in nature, and looks , except of course for the green bit, thought I'm green on the inside. I was brought up religiously, but saw to much hypocrisy, and decided by the time I was 18, that there was simply no god, though I do believe historically there was a person called "Jesus". I also believe that there was a manipulation between church and state, historically as well, and I also feel that as we became more empower with the knowledge of how the real world exists, the so called, "Fear of the Unknown", ceased to exist, and this also proved to me, that the religion where purely maintaining their existence based on nothing more than psychological conditioning, hence, the ringing of a bell, or other trigger mechanisms,to draw the crowds in, a bit like "Pavlov's Dogs", and as for the bible, let say, I believe the "Grimm's Fairytales", are just a valuable in teaching morals.
