How Christianity is the Glorication of Violence

God stuck us all here on this rock called Earth, in which everything is forced to eat everything else to survive, and the best "plan" He could come up with, to teach us all about love and morality, is to have us all brutally murder his own son, in defense of His good name (Christ, after all, was executed as a heretic).

God could have come up with any infinite number of NON-VIOLENT ways to redeem humanity, of course, especially considering that the murder of Christ was intended to redeem humanity for petty larceny, but He choose not to.

So, ignoring how God's own plan to redeem humanity and forge a new "Covenant" necessarily hinged on the hope that that same humanity would break at least two of the "Commandments" He'd given to Moses, like the prohibitions against lying and murder, "God" (or whoever dreamed up this silly story in the first place) enthroned violence as the necessary catalyst for redemption.

And from murdering heretics - with the Catholic Church far surpassing the Sanhedrin in bloodshed and the Protestant Churches striving ever more to surpass the Catholics - to Crusades, and from war to honor killings, humanity has been striving to live up to the murderous example, set by their "Father, who art in Heaven, hollowed by Thy name...," in both the Old Testament and the New, ever since.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

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...
