Herd Master by B.W. Miller

Throughout history learned men with years of research and a genuine desire to enlighten the world about the different books, some filled with more absurd stories than others known as the Bible, Koran, Book of Mormons, etc., has all amounted to a big waste of time and effort. Sadly, this effort has cost most of these scholars their good reputations and some, like Thomas Paine, their freedom.

While I do deeply respect all that Thomas Paine did for my country, including giving it its name, the United States, I simply question why he risked so much for those who are nothing more than herd animals born with small sheep-like brains and the physical defect of two short legs and two long ones. If those believing these books were the word of God hopped around, the non-religious would simple think of them as kangaroos and treat them accordingly, but they don't. So, we just call them religious nuts. And unlike the scholars who genuinely desired to enlighten these creatures, I believe, as did the late Jerry Falwell and James Kennedy, that they should simply be treated as their genetic makeup dictates and herd them towards some useful purpose. Unlike Falwell and Kennedy who used them to elect Bush and Cheney, I would simply herd them to the nearest glue factory.

The next paragraph is an area of reason. It is the work of Thomas Paine, and if any religious nut reads it and then commits suicide, chalk it up as being, "God and Bob's Will".

"After telling that Moses went to the top of Pisgah (and it does not appear from any account that he ever came down again), he tells us that Moses died there in the land of Moab, and that he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab; but as there is no antecedent to the pronoun he, there is no knowing who he was that did bury him. If the writer meant that he (God) buried him, how should he (the writer) know it? Or why should we (the readers) believe him? Since we know not who the writer was that tells us so, for certainly Moses could not himself tell where he was buried."

Sorry, Mr. Paine, but religious nuts cannot be enlightened by words of logic. They fell through the cracks of evolution and thousands of years, maybe millions, will be needed to get them up to speed.
