I agree. God is, shall we say, a persistent fantasy.

Any system that oppresses people and robs them of their freedom, dignity, and self-worth should be called out. Systems that manipulate weak and emotionally vulnerable children should be called out. Systems that build themselves by denigrating others should be called out.

This post, like an internet forum, doesn't of itself constitute "love" or "peace" or "the gospel" in any meaningful sense. But it can be used to expose manipulative thought-control systems that prey on people and defraud them, and leave them battered and bewildered, not only without identity but so disoriented as to be without means of finding any.
