It is the culmination of what the Electronic Age has reduced humanity to. Attempting to reduce a god to the same level is probably a mistake, but it's other folks' mistake to make, not mine.
I always thought shuffling papers from one desk to another was the biggest bullshit excuse for a paycheck.
People should be out building something, or making something, or fixing something, or feeding something, or growing something, or maintaining something ... but at least 'something' ... that's beneficial to themselves AND others.
Seems (sometimes) the most wasteful lives are justified by the biggest rewards. Specific to where Religion is concerned: God is real and anyone can meet Him. Do THAT and you'll realize how 'silly' any and every Religion actually is. Specific to kids these days: Would take writing a dissertation I don't feel compelled to produce. I say, "Let 'em go hungry (starve even) and/or send them back to those parts of society that have been changed into institutions of abject failure (which includes the malfunctioning household they were spawned from)."
