I knew there was something I had missed. Jud wrote:

"It is well known that I consider religion to be the most evil
excrescence on the face of the earth."

And what is the "appearance" of evil, exactly? And if you can't identify the 
specific appearance of this, then don't you have to retract your statement 
above and relegate "evil" to the same trash heap of subjective, 
anthroporphic human impositions to which you sent purpose and causality (and 
soon, effectuation)? How can you objectively accuse religion of something 
that is a figment of your own mind? By doing so, you fall right into the 
error that you claim religionists commit - preferring nonappearance over 
appearance. So another consequence of your enlightened appearance over 
nonappearance standard is the elimination of any real good or evil in the 
world - in other words, the elimination of any morality. Congratulations.
