The word "divine" promotes a scam

I provisionally agree with Randal Leavitt who said:-

"
that if we want to live on this planet in comfort then we have to totally get rid of unfounded belief in make-believe gods. If we don't do this we face a never ending nightmare of warfare, as gangs of god following hooligans try to kill each other and their rival gods off. We will live as the Vikings did, following Oden and the Raven into glorious battle day after day after day.

Show me a god that can put a loaf of bread on my table every time I snap my fingers and I may change my opinion. Until we have evidence of gods that can do anything at all we have to cut ourselves free of the paranoid insanity which we call "divine" (or the "Absolute" or "God").

Every time I snap my fingers nothing happens, and as long as that continues I will treat discussions of the divine as attempts to get me to join an army. No thanks. The word "divine" promotes a scam. We have to break free from this trap."
