The real beef.

Okay, please see my reply above where I've identified the parts of my statement I think you're asking about. I'm asking you to specify because there are a few different (though related) ideas involved. I'll restate them here so you can select one or more and, if you wish, refer to them by the letter before each sentence.

a.) A relationship with one or more gods is one-sided.

b.) Spending any amount of time, effort, focus (or other resources like money, for that matter) on religious endeavors is a waste of those things.

c.) A person who gives their resources mentioned above (in part b) to a religious organization or in the process of worship receives no benefit unless they're working with the ones fleecing the other believers.

Let me know which of these you are interested in or if there's something else you had in mind.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
