i understand the feeling some have to want the control, purpose, and sense of "something in control- aka: god" with some "greater plan." they attribute all that doesn't currently make sense to their minds and that causes unsurity and fear to a "big brother" or "big father" in the sky looking out for their good...

i understand the innate or, to use a pun, "god-given" need others have to not blindly believe tales they are told that attempt to box in the vast enigma of life and existence to some oversimplified set of rules that are constantly changing from century to century called religion and called god.

to each their own...
