Thank you for posting. I like Michael's Ideas on religion. Straight forward, common sense observations. People have been creating a multitude of deity's since the dawn of time. Why is yours more right than the other guy's? People will say that they've had a personal experience of god. Knowing full well that a muslim, hindu, buddhist jew or whomever can have those same feelings about their god.
