Early (old testament) religion was created to keep the people of that era under control (no police around). All forms of deity worship revolve around certain tenets that mainly involve peacefulness and being extra nice to the preachers (freeloading *&$**%)
The notion of a 'god' existing is less valid than that of ghosts and the spirit world (anyone fancy playing with a ouija board?). Humans have always worshipped something - the sun, moon, water, stars, Bill Gates, and always will.
Jesus definitley existed - there is historical proof of that - but he is alleged to have stated that after the deaths of his apostles that religion would end up being used by man for his own means. The damn Italians put him on his cross, then had the temerity to set up their own organized religion mafia which preaches love thy neighbour, yet has billions of dollars in reserves to propage the religion (I don't see the Catholic church doling handouts to the poor and needy)
I am going to stop now before i really lose it....
