I've seen pieces in literary competitions, pieces of poetry recited at poetry cafes, and inevitably, the "spiritual" compositions are the most idiotic sappy facile automatic lazy writing I have ever read in my life.

This is why I say things like "religion is a disease." To the best of my knowledge there is little or no evidence that it is a literal disease...but the level of mind control that it offers is more than any drug that I've ever witnessed. The power of religion truly scares me.

He he he, for sure :)
AI can be pretty clever, ok, this was somewhere between Hallmark and AI

C'mon, TNT ... an AI computer would have more sense!

I don't know why it would "get" you... It leaves me completely indifferent, as do most cases of mental disease which should be institutionalised.
Just blah blah that a AI computer could spit out, meaningless.

Hey Jim, I have wondered about that. Dont remember too many others saying it though.

Napoleon, I was on the floor with tears laughing till my sides hurt at your picture and audio. Horseshit, bullshit, or sheepshit - it's all the same.

Napoleon's comment (and recording) just made me realize what we're dealing with here.  Just as surely as there is bullshit and horseshit, there is a category for the tripe which are the believer's words above.  However, its unoriginality and lame statement don't rate the two types of fecal material I just listed.  There is, however, a specific type which suits it to a T, to wit:

Sheep shit.

I have long contended that religious belief is not simply a cultural phenomenon but it also has a firm root in genetics. Like almost all traits, variation in traits exists in our species - the amount of yellow pigment in ones skin, one's height at maturity or the texture of hair....etc. It can be argued that the brain structure, brain chemistry, brain processing routes or any combination would also vary within a species. I'm convinced that the variation of religiosity is genetically regulated which in turn is reinforced and coerced by culture and that produces a feedback by selective breeding.
The writer of this ode to slavery has, no doubt, been “blessed” with the full package of genetic godly goodies and brought up in the cozy blanket of enforced ignorance which the like minded are the target audience..
The people on this site got very few of the godly goodies in their genetic package. Thank god for that :>)
