In a world where love is greater than hate, war would be looked at with the same contempt that different sexualities are looked at today,  with religion being a way of convincing people that their love of “god” is not simply a mask for hating anyone who doesn’t live up to some ideal human they have in their head called “Jesus,” in the same where Aryan Nazis claim they do not hate other races, they just only have love for their own.

That’s why so many Christians see no problem with God treating Sodom and Gomorrah like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for example.

And in a world where true freedom is valued more than the false freedom systems we are indoctrinated into and conditioned to become emotionally dependent upon - where different brands of enslavement all masquerade as mutually reinforcing systems of false "freedoms" - national, economic, political and the theistic religions would all be looked at with the same degree of contempt that people celebrate and revel in these different religions today.

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.
