Utterly Mad

That piece may fit but...its just inefficient for anything other than pleasure seeking,  which can lead to its own problems.

 As for religious reasons, religion has kept me out of trouble.  I have never taken drugs, been in a fight, swore at authority, and it takes an insanely long time for me to become angry.

Religion is a good thing of taken in appropriate dosages. Its when people OD that a problem happens. Comparing faith to drugs is probably offensive, but its a good enough metaphor for how I feel about it. I live on the borderline of the American south (literally, for you non united statesers, look up the Missouri compromise), so most folks around here are religious. My town of very few people has 5 churches as an example. One of the two guys who have been my friends since age 4 is a intensely religious guy, but we get along fine with minor poking fun every once in a while. This is a good, normal dosage. An OD, as I tactlessly put it, would be most other people around here, who are almost literally insane off of it. I really regret telling anyone I am an Atheist, cause people try to torment me with that a lot. I found a quote a while back, it sums this up well
"Religion is like a Penis. Its ok to have one, and normal to feel at least a little proud of it. But try to force it down my throat and....."
I need to stop night posting, cause this will probably seem a lot less coherent when I read it later.
