Your views on Religion seem to be completely skewed and biased, I don't know what happened to you to have such a hatred for something you don't entirely understand.
You say Religion or a belief in God is for the weak or stupid. Newton believed in God. Einstein believed in God. I can name countless other philosophers and physicists who did. You think you are more intelligent than those? That is a pretty bold claim with nothing to back it up.
Regardless, some of your points are exceptional, and extremely motivational.
God is not flawed, Religion is, and Religion is only mans perspective of God.

Likewise, countless philosophers and physicists did not believe in God. Since when did human belief prove anything anyway?
And why would you ask me if I think I am more intelligent than Newton or Einstein? When did I ever claim any sort of intelligence other than saying I believe that I can write well?
Look - my problem was never with the idea of a higher intelligence. My problem was with people. My problem was with the political nature of religion, the hypocritical nature of religious people, and the insensical nature of the Testaments, New and Old. What I personally think is that Christianity is God for dummies - breaking down a complex concept into fables and tales easy to understand and picture. Even with that said - a lot of it is both contradictory, and some is just flat out immoral.
I despise human cowardice, and I think a large majority of people who do believe are in it because they fear death or because in certain situations where your life is in danger prayer provides a calming effect - like someone is watching over you. But this doesn't make it real.
Plus - these are my personal thoughts. People found them motivating, so I posted more. I never said I had all the answers, I'm a 20 year old miscer. I just use my head. Plus - I get a lot out of life, and judging from 90% of the posts here, most of this forum wishes they were living someone else's life. I found my philosophy worked for me in removal of fear and procrastination and I achieved whatever I set my mind out to achieve.
I agree with your last post 100%, btw. When I say God, I usually mean Jehovah. It is Jehovah I have a problem with, as well as any other "deity", which are basically attempts by people to ascribe human vices and virtues to the inconceivable in an attempt to understand it.
Looks like you spent quite a bit of time on this, to do that for us motivation guys, which I know some of us have our problems it's good to see someone going out of their way to help. Repped.

I had my deep slumps and rock bottoms, I know people need help sometimes. I don't mind giving advice to people, I guess it makes me feel better and it gives me something more constructive to do while on the net other than mindless clicking. If anyone wants any personal advice, feel free to PM me.. although I admit I have no qualifications, and my advice is based only on experience and my own observation.
So I think I'm going to drink and read the one that says to take a bottle of jack and read. the rock bottom one. I'm going through some tough personal issues right now. i feel near rock bottom, tonight i hit that rock with my face... can't work out or work right now cause i'm sick. don't know what to do heh. weird for me to be off on a weekend. or period for that matter. usually work 7 days a week.
anyway I put the quote from one of the best movies of all time in there so ppl can realize the importance of what he is saying.
"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else"
