People are always trying to use the Big Guy to justify whatever they want. It's just another way of avoiding responsibility for their actions. Conan's religion makes more sense because it's not tied to a civilization, and therefore is not under any sort of pressure to justify things that civilizations need justifying. An amoral code based on self-realization is inherently more honest while morality codes are a method of control and subjugation. Free men ponder the "riddle of steel". Slaves let the masters do the thinking for them.
Yeah, that's just a shame how so many people give "The Big Guy" credit for all those things they should take responsibility for.
Like:
Kicking their drug habits,
overpowering their alcoholism,
living their lives responsibly so they can support themselves and their families,
taking care of the sick,
living as missionaries in underdeveloped countries to improve other's ability to survive,
donating to charities,
working in soup kitchens to feed the hungry,
heading up Winter blanket donation drives for the homeless,
volunteering to be foster parents,
rescuing abused animals,
and so on, and so on.
It just irritates me how some people say their imaginary friend called on them or gave then the strength to do all that, when we all know they are just avoiding taking responsibility!
