Why do religions exist?

Seriously, why the fuck do we still have monotheistic religions when now they are banning adopting for ALL couples who are not married in a state. They say this is to STOP THE GAY AGENDA LOL when they fail to realize many straight couples refuse to get married due to legal issues this may bring for the future.

Since when the fuck did America become the Christian Empire, and when the fuck can we expect this shithole country to go over and die for being fucking assholes? This shit pisses me the fuck off.

Wow, another atheist retard. Read up on Descarte's proof of god. It is an established metaphysical fact, just like the basis for scientific method.

All those myths in holy books? Myths always have a basis in reality, Noah's flood was obviously the rising sea levels after the end of the ice age, creation of the earth was a load of metaphors with parallels with the big bang and Jesus' divinity and miracles are not the point, he was a swell guy.
