doggie treat

Fear is always the road to hell, paved with golden intentions, which transforms every wrong into a right, because they're all committed for the love of a cause.

Our religions give us meaning and purpose, in other words, but only the kind that lead us to want to kill each other and die for, rather than the kind that would lead us to see how our differences make up for our limitations, rather than blaming our limitations on our differences, which religions encourage us all to do, by telling us that by doing so we are uniting with the "body of Christ," which the Christian thinks of as a spiritual-superman of the sort Germany was seeking to create biologically during World War II, which they think in turn gives them the right to treat anyone who doesn't agree with them like the body of Christ. 

Religion's do this by encouraging intolerance for a difference of opinion on things, from the opinion on things declared to them by their God, because they choose to "believe" in the very kind of God that would share such a thing with them, and no one else; and then tell the former how he's going cast all of the latter into hell for daring to doubt the what the former says.

And he told them, and no one else, this "infallible truth," so they would be willing to do whatever it takes to avoid being thrown into an eternal pizza oven for failing to "believe" and obey their "divine" lord and master - one which encourages them to think of death as the door to life and to drink blood every Sunday from a chalice like a coven of vampires as a way of reaffirming this - out of pure love and joy for that "divine" lord and master. 

And put in such a situation, who would not be willing to murder the whole world to save themselves from such eternal misery, and win instead for such spiritual domestication, the doggie treat of heaven, forever after.

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...

How Capitalism Is About Killing the Poor

Capitalism is a religion. That's all it is. It is thought of as simply a way of organizing and running your economy, but it can only ever end up killing the "unchosen."And the "chosen" are the ones who were given great wealth, by God, or course. And they, like Abraham, are only too happy to sacrifice a world of Isaacs, if that is what their God of money commands. Look at the EpiPen ad AIDS medication controversy, when Mylan raised the price over 500% and Martin Shkreli jacked up the prices of AIDS meds, just because they could, not because they needed to make bigger profits. And look at the 70 fold price increase on a drug treatment for Muscular Dystrophy, charging $89,000.00 per year. For Spinal Muscular atrophy, they charge $750,000 for first year and $300K thereafter. In this way, capitalism sells long life the way the Catholic Church once sold salvation through indulgences. Both are highly respected and adored by the other, despite Jesus overturning the ...

The Clash of Religious Beliefs with Reality: Over Simplicity in a Hyper Complex World

God is the anthropomorphism of  our hope that life has a "happily ever after" ending, where there is no such thing as death and suffering, which we anthropomorphize in the form of the devil. In a sense, we are taking ideas and turning them into phantom figures of our selves, with angles and demons being projections of our own souls and our penchant for good and evil.  We see this when we anthropomorphize the act of gift giving into Santa Clause and think in terms of "old man winter" and "father time." We even reverse this process by describing ourselves as living in the springtime of our youth or the autumn of our years.  Religion takes this habit to another level, however, and teaches people to "believe" that the personifications we rely on to describe our hopes and fears are actual "beings;" beings from whom all of the characteristics we tend to associate with ideas of life and death, good and evil, necessarily emanate. Thi...
