A Journey and a Car

Sometimes I think religion is like a car, and salvation, enlightenment, or whatever you want to call it is somewhere you want to go using that car.
• A car doesn’t do much good if it doesn’t take you to your destination, but people seem to be fulfilled and happy just being inside one, even if it doesn’t move at all.
• The car is never the destination, just being inside doesn’t mean anything. It’s the journey that matters.
• Therefore, a good car is so uncomfortable that you never forget your destination.
• A bad car on the other hand is so cozy that you don’t even remember to drive.
• You can even abandon your car, and sometimes if it holds you back, you should.
• Humanist atheists don’t use cars, they ride motorcycles. Hey, as long as they’re moving ahead right?
