Vide Deus Ad Oculos - See god with your own eyes

The seal to the right is one I offer freely for anyone who wishes to use it, religious or not. The translation is “See god with your own eyes.” To me, it’s a reminder to question beliefs and test assumptions that may exist without conscious thought. While it’s become clear to me that it’s highly unlikely that there is a god as described by religions and mystics and charlatans, others need to find their own solutions.

Really, I’m less interested in the notion of god, existence or belief, than I am with organized religion. And the way organized religion abuses the trust of those who do believe without question and uses that belief to separate them from their money, coerce them into negative behaviors (like discrimination and exclusion,) and ultimately to control and govern them. No, my fight isn’t with god(s) – it’s with the organizations who capitalize on people’s belief in god(s) for their own gain.

So, see god with your own eyes. And regardless of what it is you see, scrutinize and beware of those who claim to represent god for their own benefit and their parasitic organizations.
