Apathetic Procrastionationism

Having religious beliefs or doggedly pursuing the affection or acceptance of a specific deity seems overly taxing to me. First off, let's get something straight before I continue on with this train of thought folks... I'm NOT asking for anyone to suggest an easier way for me to pursue that which I have already determined to be too much effort. If I wanted to honestly pursue a system that would ensure my eventual elevation to a higher state... I'd just drink the Kool-Aid. That being said, I can now say to you dear reader, that I prefer the indulgence of a new book to prostrating myself to an unseen being whose origins most likely coincide with a natural occurrence some primitive wise-ass decided was caused by an irate god (Ugh, look everyone, Og hit by flashy light and is dead... ummm, Thunder god mad because Og ate the last of the mammoth!) This Charlatan most assuredly realized quickly that if he had the answers to natural phenomenons, he could get others to work for him, and all he had to do is keep the spirits/gods names straight. I'm not saying that your beliefs are wrong, and not declaring outright that your organized, doctrine-filled, prostration-laden, tithe-eating, ceremonial-infused cult is the result of a quick-thinking and morally ambiguous Neanderthal...it could very well be that Lotto Max winner of a religion, and you may very well be off to Nirvana/heaven/the happy hunting grounds of your fantastical dreams... ... it just seems to be a bit of a leap of faith, and a lot of effort on the off chance you get the bonus number. Me, I'll spend my efforts dodging dogmatic fanatics on the Karmic Highway on my way to the nearest Tim Hortons where I can get a Double-Double and a Fritter.
