the grandest lie of all

It is impossible to have an honest conversation about "truth" with people who have a religious obligation to lie to themselves about their "god."

This is because they are convinced on a deeply emotional level that the greatest "truth" of all is the one held not only without any evidence, but despite it.

This belief then inverts all moral ideas of "truth" by elevating their mere "beliefs" to the level of ultimate "truth" while demoting any and all other attempts to find actual truth as necessarily being a lie.

And it is with this inverted system of "beliefs," one that necessarily requires people to accept a sacred time honored lie as the ultimate "truth," that the "believer" fashions their morality and crucifies all those who fail to kneel before it.

And for no other reason than that the "believer" cannot believe they could ever be wrong.

We see a perfect example of this in the rationale for seeing Africans as subhuman offered by the French social philosopher who had such a profound influence on America's founding fathers, Montesquieu, when he quipped in 1748:

 "It is impossible for us to suppose these creatures to be men, because, allowing them to be men, a suspicion would follow that we ourselves are not Christian."

Here, Montesquieu uses the religion of racism to support his religion of Christianity, while at the same time relying on his Christian religion to bolster his religion of racism, even though both religions are simply sacred time honored "beliefs" that are as equal in their duplicity as they are in their rejection of actual truth.

And when you consider how much "blood" Christians drink every Sunday, it is no wonder that the light of such truth always leads them to react in the very same way a vampire reacts when exposed to sunlight.

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...
