why flowers pray to the sun

When you think about it all, all at once, there's no denying that it's a miracle that we are all here.

And the sheer size of it all - from how we got here to who we think we are -  laughs at all attempts to describe it with words as puny as "infinite" and "eternal," or even "God."

Religions want to call this "God," and describe it as a savior and a father, even though that God simply saved us from himself, and what he was going to do to us for failing to "love" him, and the right way at that.

Then each tries to convince you that their brand is "the official brand" of the one and only "true" God, and that all the rest are simply knock offs from third world countries (including the same ones their own always comes from).

However we got here, and whatever got us here, is at a minimum infinitely larger than all of that.

All we know for the most part is that we're living inside of a kind of solar reactor,  that works in ways that are as baffling to science as they are simple to religion, and both with an equal amount of confusion and contradiction.

Now I understand the wisdom of why flowers pray to the sun.

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...
