The cruel horrors of burning forever in hell seem almost like a blessing compared to the cruel horrors humanity has  always imposed upon itself in the pursuit of pleasing one God or another, in order to reach one heaven or another.

If humanity was a single person, different cultures would be like different personalities, with religion being a particularly rigid personality compared to all the others, then it’s as if our wars are like humanity cutting itself, and always because our religious personality tells us we are unworthy of love and deserving of punishment, in the form of a story we keep telling ourselves about how we crucified our God for which we all deserve to rot in hell.

And the same religion, or personality of ours, that convinces us we deserve hell for killing Christ, promises us that only the same God we murdered can forgives us, but only as long as we remain completely emotionally dependent upon him for our entire life, or more specifically his demonstrably fallible church, and intend to addict our children to that same emotional dependence as well.

Talk about a brilliant plan!

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...
