Apocalypse De Jure

The greatest danger to the planet in general, and the human species in particular, is a mindset of certainty, the same mindset championed by religion that teachs a person to see doubt of their own beliefs as not only wrong and potentially evil, but something for which they deserve eternal torments. 

Catholic priests sell this kind of thinking in every mass they perform. 

Ironically, the same Catholic priest who threatens his flock with hellfire for doubting his claims, which are often at odds with other Catholic priests and even Catholic popes, requires those same faithful flocks to doubt and distrust whoever it is the Catholic priest tells them to doubt and distrust. 

If CNN reports that scientists around the world agree that climate change could end life on the planet, the Catholic priest may well demand that his flock "doubt" such claims or risk being cast into eternal hell for failing to do so. 

If FOX News, on the other hand, reports that the Virgin Mary is floating around the farm fields of Conyers, Georgia. proclaiming God is about to end the world because he is pissed off that not enough people have become Catholic since he sacrificed his son, that same Catholic priest may well insist that if people dare to doubt such a claim, they risk being cast into the same eternal hell they can expect to inherit for daring to believe that climate change is real. 

Same outcome, but different means by which the "end of the world" comes about. 

The Catholic priest simply decides that the one that reflects his own brand of beliefs, for which he secures his own livelihood, is true, and the one put forth by the scientists, who are all lying about it so they can sustain their own livelihoods through grants and such, are lies. 

Point out to the Catholic priest in question the obvious and "infallible" hypocrisy that is the "true" religion he practices, and he will bypass any discomfort from such a truth by praying for your death and eternal torments. And if he can secure his seat in eternal heaven by being the one who sends you to eternal hell, his lust for salvation will ensure he would be unable to resist the chance to do so.

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 ...
