All Three Religions Worship Death

All three of the worlds major religions hail from a man who believed it was more moral to kill his own son then to disobey a "God," and by a "god" I simply mean the voices in his own head. 

Why, then, should it be surprising to anyone,  that an obedience to such a God so often leads so many to believe they must act like Abraham? 

Hence the great irony of Christianity in particular is that even Christ was sent to earth by his heavenly father, allegedly, and even though he prayed more earnestly than anyone has apparently ever prayed before to have "this cup taken from me" (so much so, in fact, he was said to have been sweating blood), God, rather than interceding in history as he had with the annunciation to his mother Mary, allowed Jesus to be brutally tortured and executed for blasphemy instead.

And the fact that Christians would only go on to do the same thing to so many other people in the centuries that followed - people that they, like the Sanhedrin before them, similarly denounced as heretics - never leads a single Christian to doubt that they belong to the right "religion."

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...

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.
