natural born idiots

The Bible tells us that we are all natural born original-sinners, as if the only way to teach a child anything is by first convincing them that they are a natural born idiot, ones who’s entire intelligence depends upon, and comes exclusively from, their educational institutions.  Theistic religion was the first of these educational institutions, of course, Christianity being but a single species most like the chameleon with its ability to devour its’ prey like a lion by calling itself "the lamb of God."

And it is to these institutions that the “natural born idiots” must forever depend for their understanding of everything they were taught, through the mandatory indoctrination programs that end with high school, in which the principal should be seen as the pope, and each of our teachers seen as saints; and all of whom possess the same various degrees of divine and infallible "truth" as the authors of the worlds first text book ever written for such indoctrination, which today is venerated around the world as the "Holy Bible."

 And to medicate ourselves for the self-hatred such a text book teaches us to practice like a religion, we seek the different entertainments or wallow in the distractions provided by our consumerism, both of which have the same effect as the Bible, and like the Bible are used to control a population through its addictions, especially to sex, violence, money, fame, drugs, and God; of which our gods are by far the strongest drugs of all. 

This, then, is how the operating system of our culture is not only designed to turn us all into emotionally stunted adolescents, who wholly depend upon the God of religion most of all, but to champion all of the things that Christianity condemns as vices, while at the same time treating the all out pursuit of those vices as the highest social and economic virtues, and simply because the god of profit - the most powerful of all man-made gods - has said "let it be so."

God is like Thorazine,  one we are taught to self-administer by reading our Bibles individually, and then collectively at least once a week (which is mandatory), in order to trigger our endorphins from the ecstasy of knowing we are right because we believe we are, and knowing that anyone who disagrees with us is wrong, because the first belief is so self-evident that even a natural born idiot would believe it.

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...

The Clash of Religious Beliefs with Reality: Over Simplicity in a Hyper Complex World

God is the anthropomorphism of  our hope that life has a "happily ever after" ending, where there is no such thing as death and suffering, which we anthropomorphize in the form of the devil. In a sense, we are taking ideas and turning them into phantom figures of our selves, with angles and demons being projections of our own souls and our penchant for good and evil.  We see this when we anthropomorphize the act of gift giving into Santa Clause and think in terms of "old man winter" and "father time." We even reverse this process by describing ourselves as living in the springtime of our youth or the autumn of our years.  Religion takes this habit to another level, however, and teaches people to "believe" that the personifications we rely on to describe our hopes and fears are actual "beings;" beings from whom all of the characteristics we tend to associate with ideas of life and death, good and evil, necessarily emanate. Thi...
