all in the family

Religion teaches us that we can only ever learn to love each other like a family of god, by first accepting that we are all complicit in murdering god.

It just so happens that the god we murdered was the one who was trying to teach us how to love each other like his family, which also just happens to be the very reason we are said to have crucified Him in the first place.

And when you consider that said "god" is alleged to have sent his only son to earth to be slaughtered by humans in an act of sacrificial crucifixion, humanity has proven to be remarkably dependable when it comes to committing murder when god most wants us to.

For the Christian, only by first accepting that we have God's blood on our collective hands (which is simply the inevitable result of having to kill a god to be forgiven for an act of disobedience, in some ancient Amazonian Eden somewhere, by Adam & Eve), can we ever hope to love each other like a family of said "God."

And people wonder why humanity has so often only acted like “the family” that belonged to Charles Manson?

Religion is to God what cancer is to man, for each devours its host to survive, in a struggle to the death of which is mightier, the Sanhedrins of the world, or the Christs.

And who gets to define who is what, and the things that are a "what" as a "who."

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...
