Doing it for god

Religion does not teach people to be honest,  it only teaches people how to lie.

And it does this by teaching people they should all be ashamed of themselves for being born sinners, and acting like it, unless they have accepted into their sinful souls the very Jesus who died because we are all born sinners; in which case everything we do is forgivable, because we are always doing it for god.

Or to put it another way, Christianity teaches you to crucify your own truth, whenever it fails to conform to the one defined for us as “God’s,” by those we think we should trust and obey, because they assure us they speak for God, even if some of God’s priests are some of the greatest sinners in the world - which they again assure us is to be expected, since we are all born sinners.

That Christianity doesn’t even succeed at curing Christians of their sinful nature, however, isn’t something anyone should ever hold against God; or even Christianity.

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...
