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 Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
