No I do not dismiss them as garbage. I am not belittling myself either because I separate myself from the religious ones. I simply object to being called garbage because I differ in my perspective to those who follow the teachings of their god. The transition from the physical world in which we live to the metaphysical world through belief systems needs to be recognised for what it is. Acceptance of this transition is the the root of all forms of gods, religions and telling us how to live our lives according to the belief system we adopt. imposition of that on all others is what concerns me and why I assert religion as the prime cause of all conflicts throughout human existence.
