Good Point, Dr.Jo.  Speaking of religion being delusion, I just caught a program on how the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (“God’s punishment of misbehaving humans”)  was actually just a low-trajectory asteroid hit that had an in-air explosion, raining down super-heated fragments and heating the ground level air so that it fried people instantaeously — into “solid stone statues”  like “Lot’s wife”, for instance. (They even narrowed down a date when it occurred: 3123 BC)

Funny how humanity seems prone to fantasize and exaggerate things all out of proportion, set off by what appears to be some sort of ingrained apologetic sense of imperfection and existential guilt.  So, really, humanity as a species has a pre-existing condition of some mental or emotional disorder, n.o.s. !!…. And there is probably no “God” out there at all, raining down judgment on us all — it’s in our heads.

Because being hit by an asteroid isn’t an ‘act of God’ …
