Uproar over ‘Fight of Gods’ game exposes absurd authoritarian side of religion

What kind of fight could you possibly get between Jesus and Buddha?
Buddha: I am against violence.
Jesus: That’s okay. I would have offered my other cheek anyway. How about a nice game of Scrabble?

Many religious people too easily take offence. It makes them feel powerful, like they’re part of some special and privileged group. 
The greatest trick religion ever pulled is not making people believe in a god or the worship of ideas – it’s making people believe you can’t question it. It prevents them from sitting down like adults and asking questions that the religious “authorities” don’t have answers for. 
“If there is no God or next life, then what’s in it for me?”

Idiots. They ought to know “gods” don’t fight each other. They leave that up to believers.

 Douglas Adams, author of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, was also a perceptive thinker on religion. He wrote:  
“Now, the invention of the scientific method and science is, I’m sure we’ll all agree, the most powerful intellectual idea, the most powerful framework for thinking and investigating and understanding and challenging the world around us that there is, and that it rests on the premise that any idea is there to be attacked and if it withstands the attack then it lives to fight another day and if it doesn’t withstand the attack then down it goes. Religion doesn’t seem to work like that; it has certain ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. That’s an idea we’re so familiar with, whether we subscribe to it or not, that it’s kind of odd to think what it actually means, because really what it means is ‘Here is an idea or a notion that you’re not allowed to say anything bad about; you’re just not. Why not? – because you’re not!’”.
