An Incredible Author’s View of God

What American writer Madeleine L’Engle (A Wrinkle in Time) said at left rings true to most educated people around the world.

Monotheistic religion is built around fear. There is no other reason to believe that an omnipotent being is tuned into everything you think and do, and, if He doesn’t like what He sees, He’ll happily sentence you to an eternity of torture.

I seldom criticize others’ beliefs, but this is a concept unworthy of an intelligent species.

More to the point, we’re at a watershed point in human civilization.  So many of our planetary woes are built on the idea that “my God in the sky is better than yours.”

Let it be purged from humankind. If we still have an organized society here in 100 years, we will have long since disposed of this stupidity.
