Has anyone posted this pic here before? Cause it makes perfect sense to me

5. Me too.

I mean, I get the Golden Rule and all that, and morality, as sane societal rules.
Wasn't raised in a religion, but I DO perfectly remember when I "got" some truths that most religious adhere to:

1. Lie,cheat, steal, kill is bad.

Sort of what George Carlin said so succinctly in his show, where he boiled the 10 commandments down to 4.

But I also got this in my head, in a burst of insight::

If God represents good and loves us, why is he terrorizing us into fearing him, with threats of death and hell.??

And if we are all God's children, why do we need another person to come between us and God in hearing Him?
And pay for the privilege? ( got that insight when I was 12)

So later on, when I understood fundamentalist thinking, I was left wondering why people not only needed to wrap themselves PUBLICLY
in the Bible ( does it not say something about praying privately?)
but also try to force others to live the way they do?

So, yeah...I liked the Penn poster, despite what other leanings he may have.
