We Are What We Call Ourselves

It is simply a miracle of denial that Christians claim secular culture is robbing children of their innocence, since it is the Christian "belief" that children are born sinners that actualy does this. Naturally, Christians deny this is true, becaue they cannot stand the thought that they are guilty of accusing their own children of being disobedient murders (like Adam and Eve, and of killing Christ via their "sins"). Ironically, it is because Christians claim to be born sinners in need of a savior that they actually "believe" they are spiritually better than everyone else who thinks otherwise. Like denying that they rob children of their innocence by simply assuming they are all stained with original sin, so the Christian likewise denies that they think they are better than everyone else simply becaue they believe they are sinners who have been saved by the bloody execution of Jesus. If they do not think they are "improved" by believing this, and will win an infinite better life after they die for doing so, then what is there incentive for so believing? (Good luck getting a straight answer to that.) Call a man a pig and you will bring out the pig in the man. This was one of the warnings given to protestors during the 1960s demonstrations, telling them not to call cops "pigs" becaue it would only lead those cops to act like, well, what they are being called. It is also the morale of the story of the ugly duckling. Recall that the ugly duckling told itself it was a duck, even though in truth it was a swan. So too, Christianity requires that humanity tell itself it is a born sinner, and insists that this is the ONLY way to ever prevent man from sinning. This is like telling a child they must first believe they are a stupid moron before they could ever believe they are smart enough to learn anything. Tell the child they are brilliant and good to begin with, and only then will they be able to be brilliant and good. Christianty rejects ever telling people they are good and innocent to begin with, robbing children of their true innocence from the moment of birth, and all so those children will become addicted to the crack of Christianity, which only makes people into the "sinners" it requires them to believe they are born as.

How Capitalism Is About Killing the Poor

Capitalism is a religion. That's all it is. It is thought of as simply a way of organizing and running your economy, but it can only ever end up killing the "unchosen."And the "chosen" are the ones who were given great wealth, by God, or course. And they, like Abraham, are only too happy to sacrifice a world of Isaacs, if that is what their God of money commands. Look at the EpiPen ad AIDS medication controversy, when Mylan raised the price over 500% and Martin Shkreli jacked up the prices of AIDS meds, just because they could, not because they needed to make bigger profits. And look at the 70 fold price increase on a drug treatment for Muscular Dystrophy, charging $89,000.00 per year. For Spinal Muscular atrophy, they charge $750,000 for first year and $300K thereafter. In this way, capitalism sells long life the way the Catholic Church once sold salvation through indulgences. Both are highly respected and adored by the other, despite Jesus overturning the ...

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 angels 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...
