There is no caring god, there never was, faith has had its day, we do have each other
- Two thousand five hundred years ago Confucius, Buddha and Socrates all concluded, at slightly
different times and thousands of miles apart, that a caring god simply did not exist.

- Two thousand five hundred years ago Confucius, Buddha and Socrates all concluded, at slightly
different times and thousands of miles apart, that a caring god simply did not exist.
- Then Abraham, Moses and Jesus Christ (or rather the religion created in his name 334 years after
his death) did their best to enslave humanity and hide that simple wisdom from us.
- Do Jews really believe that their messiah is still coming after waiting over two thousand five
hundred years?
- Do Christians ever wonder why Jesus never came back when he said he would?
◦ Perhaps they have never actually read those bits of the New Testament or just chose to
ignore his clear message, repeated in all four gospels? See Chapter 9 for his words.
- Do Muslims ever wonder why almighty Allah needs so much help from suicide bombers?
- Why on earth is faith still seemingly so valid to so many, supposedly, well educated people?
- Why are there so many people still listening to deluded men in frocks? More recently there are
even a few deluded women in frocks, but god knows why? Even if she did exist, what is the point
of genuflecting to a make-believe entity that never acknowledges your existence?
- Why have so many gods disappeared in the last two thousand years and why did those gods start
disappearing when more of us were educated to read what other humans were saying?
- Why is the rational philosophy and the glowing light of the European Enlightenment (The Age of
Reason) not taught in every school from the age of five?
- Faith created by religion is the problem. It creates division, confusion and anguish in children.
It then creates irrational and increasingly violent behaviour in adults.
So, is it my mission to convert those of faith?
- No, I'd largely be wasting my time, because once the faith virus is ingrained in young minds
it is almost, impossible to remove. My time is far better spent trying to stop young minds
from being brainwashed in the first place.
- Therefore I urge the abolition of all faith schools, the disestablishment of the Church of
England from the parliamentary law making process, and actively encourage the teaching of
age appropriate philosophy in all schools from the age of five.
- I encourage this by supporting the Humanist Society and National Secular Society.
