Answer by Vishu Menon:
The best religion is NO RELIGION. If you feel the need to pray to offer solace to yourself, for the safety of a beloved being, for your own safety, while you drive on a South-Asian highway, or your spouse falls sick or denies you your side of the bed, or while taking off in an airplane that withdraws its undercarriage with a frightening thud, pray to a kind-hearted, non-vengeful, helpful, smiling god of your heart even though you know that he/she doesn’t exist.

xed, hateful, retributive, selfish, narcissistic, misogynistic, pestilential, racist, chauvinistic, ‘pray-to-me-or-I’ll-burn-you-in-hell’ god of religion (any religion), you will over time become unethical, hateful, sexless or oversexed, retributive, selfish, narcissistic, misogynistic, racist, chauvinistic, “pray-to-my-god-or-you-will-burn-in-hell” bigot and and cause riots and wars in this world, and generally die an unhappy person, hoping to find a better life and better sex in another non-existent world. .

Real question if you go back and read the rest of that chapter you will see that if you only use that one verse it might sound bad, but along with the rest of the character it makes since and isn’t twisted like some may think. I would love to just have an open conversation on what you believe it is interesting to me.
