Great Quote

"It takes a special kind of con artist to get rich without paying taxes by selling people an invisible product for 10% of their income that they can't see until after they die."

I have no idea who wrote this quote, but it's spot on.

The problem is not that Christians chose to simply "believe" such things, which is worrisome enough (especially when you consider that people who believe this are so often running around saying how foolish people are), but that, because they believe it, they think they have a special right, and indeed even a special obligation, to decide for all of humanity, what it means to be a human being. 

And because they feel they have this "special knowledge," which they insist comes from God, they have the authority, which for the sake of their eternal souls they must exercise, to define for everyone on the planet, the nature of sex, gender, love, marriage, the meaning of life, happiness, what constitutes "truth," and so much more. 

If Christians simply wanted to believe in an invisible friend, like so many children do, there isn't anything necessarily wrong with that on its own. But when they insist that their "belief" in this invisible friend is a FACT, and NOT an 'act of faith' (Ive actually had this said to me by Christians with a straight face), then you know you are dealing with someone who is more interested in being "right" in their "beliefs" than in seeking to understand anything that has to do with actual truth.

In short, they are simply gas-lighting for their special brand of God. 

That such people refuse to ever even consider whether their "beliefs" about the God they claim to believe in, could ever be wrong - rejecting even the notion that, even if their God exists, they might be misunderstanding what that "God" really is, or really wants -  is to reject reality for a fantasy, and then demand that everyone else accept it, or burn in hell forever!

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
