Religion: To Glorify By Rejection

 Christianity is a religion that requires you to glorify the gift of "free will" by only using your free will to act like being born is just like joining the military, that is, "God's army!"

It is to glorify "free will" by deciding to only act like a robot.

 This is like glorifying the gift of being able to move as freely as one wishes, to dance and run and jump and skip and so on, by only crawling, on one's hands and knees in supplication, in a straight line, straight to church and home again. 

It's like being given play-doh as a gift, which you are free to shape into whatever you wish, and then being told by the person who gave you the play-doh that if you dare to mold it into anything other than in the image and likeness of the person who gave you the play-doh, that "gift-giver" will be so offended that they will feel perfectly justified in not only torturing you to death for doing so, but in keeping you alive as long as they can so they can maximize the amount of suffering they inflict upon you, and all while blaming you for your suffering because you disobeyed their command. 

It's  like glorifying the gift of free food by only eating what your religion puts on the menu out of the hope that you'll be resurrected so you can either eat whatever you want, not have to eat at all, or that for all eternity you will only ever want to eat from the same menu the Church limited you from eating from while you were alive on Earth. 

It's like glorifying the gift of a free Lamborghini by never driving it faster than any posted speed limit.

It is to glorify your intelligence by refusing to ask the toughest questions, to glorify your infinite creativity by never thinking about an "infinite" God that ever deviates from how one particular brand of religion happens to myopically define for you such an infinite abstraction.

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...
