I frequently wonder how people like this survive in society. At what point they were able to put together the necessary amount of logical processes to clothe themselves, and work out how to get a spoon to theirs mouths, much less work out how to achieve manipulation on such a grand scale. It feels like a large part of the world is just in waiting, for some douche or another to come along and capitalize on their fears and prejudices. They want to be led, and to that end they will believe some of the most outlandish, atrocious verbal diarrhea. It makes me wonder whether these TV evangelists are so insanely deluded that they actually believe what they are saying, or whether they are actively evil and malicious enough to manipulate and exploit on such a base level. Either way their existence is an abomination, and anything resembling a reasonable society would have pulled them from the limelight and prosecuted them for crimes against humanity.

Anyway, I'm all against the high ground and 'meeting up and holding hands together' here. The issue is so much deeper than that. We need to evaluate what aspects of the human condition make people conducive to believing in these fairy tales. The fact that there is a single religious person in the world in this day and age offends me. It offends me as a person, a human being, and even as someone not intensely educated or fixated on the subject. You cannot meet minds with a moron, or someone so insecure and at war with themselves that they have to believe in this stuff just to validate their existence. If anything other than religion was based on this concept of 'faith' the world would be in a catastrophic state. It's no different than inventing an idea that sounds pretty good and then just committing to believe in it, simply because. How far would we have come scientifically and medically if this had been the case? We'd still be drilling holes in our heads to relieve headaches. Religion as a whole is the problem, the cancer. There are NO benign aspects to it. It is infectious, as people are herd-like and simply waiting for a leader to direct them. It is a weak spot, waiting for exploitation, and for as long as it remains we will all be in danger.

Ultimately education is the best tool. People need to be educated on a global basis, hopefully stopping this hillbilly need to inflict one generation of children after another with this insidious disease.

What's really sick is most of the people on the fox news.com forum are defending this fuck and Limpbaugh.

Fuck man, I have no words other than "Religion poisons everything" -Hitchens

Great post.

I want to hire a flatbed trailer, PA, and SLAYER to play a gig outside the Westboro Baptist Church during one of his sermons.



Hmm.. That sounds like a worthy cause. Perhaps I should start a fundraiser.

That would be awesome. Those people have no souls.

 

[DaWolf]

Was he referring to the Voodoo belief they have going on there ? That has very little to do with the devil...but then it`s not Christian, so it has to I guess. uke:

great post Ermz. to paraphrase Hitchens, we need a way forward that doesn't include or lead to lies being told to children by evil old men.

props to you Ermz!

people tend to not THINK and analyze material and information they come across, its got to be endorsed by some authority figure who has some completely imaginary credentials (for psychological validation, we need that piece of paper, i needed mine...) which are largely based on extremely outdated knowledge bases, and much of which is based on speculatory human opinion. not in all cases, i know, but our educational system is far behind a lot of the world, and the teaching of opinion needs to be minimized. at one point we thought the earth was flat. we were sure, we could SEE it was flat. the surface of water was flat, at least perceived buy us that way. it was blasphemous to think otherwise. the king would have your head. our rather limited sensory abilities give us a very limited 'view' of what is going on in reality. so we made one up. its real to us. Money, School, Families, Social Status, our Jobs. they are real to US. but in fact, are they , tangibly real? heh. of course not. man, the last ten years have been crazy, the world is falling apart at the seams before our eyes because of ideaologies, things we believe in. god, economics, money, the profit motive, these are all outdated ideas. and yes, i support The Venus Project (read about it, i dare ya! just don't project your own values into it, or think because we believe in sharing that it is marxist in any way, lol). contrary to popular belief, its not about creating futuristic cities, which is a much too common misconception that people get stuck on (that would just be a result...). it is about education, and changing our enviornmental conditions in which we live (the way we are brought up, the shitty things we are all exposed to at a young age which shape our fragile understandings of the world around us, exterminating irrevelevant superstitious beliefs, and learning that we are completely reliant upon our enviornment to survive and thrive here on earth, etc) through education and bringing our value systems and social structures up to date, which are the root causes of 99% of our problems here on Earth.

fuck, some of that was kinda off topic, but man, shit like this pisses me off and it gets me into a certain mode. when will people pull thier heads from out of thier turd
cutters?
