Yeah, fuck you too. It would do everyone a favor if they stopped believing in shit that doesn't exist. That counts for a lot these days when you consider big media and the plague of apathy that keeps America divided and weak against the will of over privileged assholes who manipulate $$$$. Imagine what a UNITED america could do to sweep away the tyranny of today's bullshit? Now you know why we have a 2 party system.
I have yet to meet a fellow Atheist that has the balls to stand up to religious bullshit and take a stand. Seriously...when is the last time any of you took a stand in the name of truth? When have any of you put aside your bloggy, soggy posturing to confront your friends, parents, grandparents, strangers, etc. ???? I see lots of talk and little action. We are dealing with people who think the earth is 6,000 years old!!! What the fuck is wrong with modern civilization that this kind of lunacy is tolerated?
No, religions flat out LIE to people and make up bullshit answers for things which humans are too stupid and/or ethnocentric to understand, probably ever. Deal with it.
I'm glad you could identify with my postings... Although my frustration and anger is quite apparent, at least you'll know I won't make up any fictional excuses to justify it. Even if posting in here is like screaming at the top of my lungs in a room full of deaf people, I am glad you heard me loud and clear. Sometimes I feel as if I live in a world full of people who insist the tooth fairy, easter bunny and santa clause really DO exist. Oh, and my lack of "faith" is why I'm so "confused". Be safe, and watch out for the flying spaghetti monster!
God does not exist. No religion is accurate or correct. Here's a new definition that everyone should memorize:
God: A human construct or belief system that is firmly maintained and propagated despite being contradicted by what is reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.
So many people fear what is after death. Do you fear what happened to you before you were born? The afterlife and the pre-life are guaranteed to be the same: Nothing. Just because your pathetic insecurities can't truly accept the concepts of time, space...and more importantly, the reality of not living...do yourself and everyone a favor by not lying about things you know "nothing" about. If you still have the balls to keep lying to yourself and your children, at least have some proof to back up your bullshit claims.
I am not a "Nonbeliever". I believe in many things: Like the fact that religion and "God" are about as real as the tooth fairy and the moronic notion of a "virgin birth": Unless the Virgin Mary was an amoeba. Modern man believing in "God" is as ludicrous as believing the world is flat. I offer no tolerance of the scourge of humanity: Religion is the most ignorant, violent and ugly thought control ever created by mankind and it deserves no respectable place in our culture. In times of knowing and knowing more, Religion is a pathetic excuse for knowing nothing. It is the biggest ego trip of all time.
I notice that the religious sheep have yet to challenge me on my assertions, despite 170+ letters on this thread. Sheep are known for being cowardly...so I guess I shouldn't expect anything resembling a true, autonomous opinion from the conditioned masses.
- Believes the war on "Xmas" is REAL. He would expand Guantanamo to encompass all of Cuba simply to make room for all the heathens that dare attack our dear baby's Jesus's birthday/shopping spree.
- Would make sure we teach "Intelligent" Design in all schools and burn science texbooks. He would also undertake a massive "dig & destroy" initiative to eradicate our planet of ANY fossils, since they were only put here by Satan to confuse us.
- Would dismantel ALL renewable energy research and industry: We don't need it. The Rapture is coming within our lifetime, it makes more sense to drive Hummers, but still fear hummers in the Oval Office.
- Would have to absolutely hate Mexican immigrants and homos, yet still use 'em on the side.
- Would reply to all and any questions by the press with "9/11".
- Would update spelling in our dictionaries to include "misunderestimated" and "nucular".
- It would have to be a Man. Wimmin shouldn't be allowed in the gubbamint anymore, either.
- Would be one gene closer to a chimpanzee than the last POTUS, simply to mock any evolutionists in the USA who haven't been sent to Guantanamo/Cuba yet.
- Would finally make Fox News a official branch of our government.
- Would finally make the USA: USA, Inc.
- Would either turn out to be God or Jesus and smite the liberal media. This would include throwing lightning bolts at press conferences and making anyone reading Salon, Daily Kos or any other far left satanic rag look like Rush Limbaugh or Anne Coulter.
I know it's a long list, but....
Just because all of you can copy/paste/quote someone doesn't mean it is
- True
- Accurate
- Applicable to modern times
- Isn't exaggerated, distorted or spun
Worshipping quotes is almost as bad as worshipping a religion: It is a lazy alternative to using your own head to express yourself or make up your own mind.
There is only one quote worth knowing:
"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
