I love my mom but she is a little too religious for my liking, so anyway she agreed despite my father a doctor telling her this was a hunk of crap.
Pious woman came over... my brother being older was first... dumped stuff and set him on fire. My brother ended up in ER half dead... cops were called and the woman arrested... me I ran for dear life and called my dad who was on call that day. We still have asthma, my brother has a huge scar on his back, my mom now realizes that certain things cannot be changed, to me God is a figment of human imagination.

I am a man of science, everything I have done for the last 4 years and many years before that makes me believe God is nothing more than a figment of human imagination. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, mine remains that it is ME who controls my life and my future and no one else.
