Christianity teaches us to love "our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,.."

This "father figure" is the god who created us, so we are taught to "believe," who is as infinitely greater to us as we are to a spermatozoa.
  
A newborn infant, on the other hand, is likewise much greater than the spermatozoa from whence it, when combined with female gametes or "ova."

And the intelligence of the adult is on average of a much higher order than that of the newborn infant, in the same way that the intelligence that is said to have given birth to humanity is believed to be on a much higher order of intelligence than that of even the smartest human beings throughout history. 

Yet Christianity wishes for humanity to believe nevertheless that it can, and indeed that it must strive more than anything else, to use its own intelligence to 'infallibly' understand  that greater intelligence we call "God," even though this is like a colony of new born infants choosing to simply "believe" that they can infallibly understand the "greater intelligence" - who is "our father who art in the living room, watching football" - who created them.

And hell is the belief that if any of those new born infants fail to try to understand that intelligence, even though the very "bible" that intelligence wrote as an instruction manual assures them they will always fail at the attempt, no matter what degree of intelligence or effort the apply to it, the "father who art in the living room watching football" not only has the right to throw those babies into the furnace in his basement, but deserves to be loved more than anything else, by all those who strive "in fear and trembling" as it says in Philippians, to avoid the same fate. 

My only question is, where's the popcorn?

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...
