I've often said if you want to know the truth about God or religion , for the love of Zeus and Thor, don't ask a preacher- guys like $Pat Robertson$, $Jim Bakker$, or $David Jeremiah$ . Those guys will tell you what they know you want to hear and sell you nothing but a pipe dream, some buckets of apocalyptic slop, or some DVD's and "camp meeting" seminars.

If you really want to know about religion don't ask those guys, ask a magician.  Magicians are experts concerning  illusion, deception, slight of hand, misdirection, and mind manipulation.

“There is no god, and that's the simple truth. If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.”

“What I have a problem with is not so much religion or god, but faith. When you say you believe something in your heart and therefore you can act on it, you have completely justified the 9/11 bombers. You have justified Charlie Manson. If it's true for you, why isn't it true for them? Why are you different? If you say "I believe there's an all-powerful force of love in the universe that connects us all, and I have no evidence of that but I believe it in my heart," then it's perfectly okay to believe in your heart that Sharon Tate deserves to die. It's perfectly okay to believe in your heart that you need to fly planes into buildings for Allah.”
