Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

And I "do that" because you people deserve it. You make incredibly ignorant and obnoxious comments but you think nothing of it.

Isn't the entire premise that a force powerful enough to create the universe has any personal interest in the thoughts and doings of one animal among billions, on one obscure rock in the vastness of space, rather more ego-driven than not?

I'll have you know that I think hard and long about all of my ignorant and obnoxious comments. lol
I stand by my comment that you're thinly veiled attacks cheapen the rest of your comment. But I appreciate you being honest and I'll avoid any direct communicating going forward.
If you want to cut off our nose to spite your face, OK. Sure, you could claim the entire religious impulse stems from a certain egotism but you would have to make a better case for that than you have here. The case against Walmart religion is complete. The reason you went on the offensive is that I simply used your own pretension to privacy to demonstrate the emptiness of what you call "spirituality". You can't say I'm wrong without undermining your own position on religious faith.
Wolf, the fact is that you value the idea of religion and on some level you realize that human life is impossible without it but, in an age of narcissism, you value your autonomy more than anything else.

Purely by definition all religions are cults, but I sense that's not the context in which you're using the word "cult." I suspect you're using it in the inherently negative context, which is faulty. The actions you have described are not unique to religions, they exist in virtually every system of belief, whether it be religious, philosophical, social, political, economic, etc. I don't think it's fair to pretend religion is somehow unique in this, nor do I think it's very fair to ignore the positive sides of religion.
