He doesn't exist (I did that for some time) or that He is in nature or
that He doesn't care or that He is dead or anything that help us
understand what's happening.

Like I said, focus on the simple truths. That's not something the world
cherishes today.


The simple truth that you believe yourself - and everyone else - to be
chattel? The simple truth that you assign your morality to some outside
party, and will do anything you believe it commands of you? The simple
truth that you believe you've no choice in the matter because you're merely
property?

It's little wonder that religion serves as a tool for manipulation of the
masses by those with malice or greed in their hearts.

But remember: you were just following orders.
