The Real Cost Of Religious Faith - Atheist Experience 696

Pope Benedict will soon face charges of Crimes Against Humanity

Oh no!...The Pope is going to be,...somebodies bitch! Say it ain't so!

That's right my friends, Pope Benedict will soon face charges of Crimes Against Humanity from the International Criminal Court according to informationmedia.info, and examiner.com. Whether these sources are reputable, I do not recall. However, I do know that renowned Atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens stated earlier that they themselves were prepared to bring him up on charges.

What, you may ask could the master of morality, the humblest of men in fancy dress, have ever done to deserve this? Well, we are all aware of the priestly perverts being shuffled around the world to 'save their victims' from their abuse, and the denial of the church of the whole ordeal.

This of course would not be enough to go against his holiness. Surely not since no one seems to care, as proven by the fact it has happened so often for so long a time, and the people have done nothing. The second reason for this charge a little thing he said to the people of Africa. He told an AIDS stricken people that wearing condoms is a sin. In his own words, the Pope stated "The traditional teaching of the church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/Aids.". Simply put, don't protect yourself, let God do it. This genocidal statement has turned much of the world against him, even some of his own Catholic supporters.

Personally, I do not believe this should directed solely at Benny. The entire Vatican should be torn down, and the religion abolished along with it's sister religions. This is highly unlikely to ever happen, but a man can hope. The real question is, can a Pope be convicted of any crime? We are, of course, talking about the most powerful man on the planet. He may not have nuclear weapons...as I said, he MAY not have nuclear weapons,.. But he does have a mass of zealots ready to lay down their lives for him, disregarding anything he does wrong completely.

Do I think The Pope should be convicted? Duh.... I think his punishment should be life in an African prison where his new husband likely has AIDS. I don't always believe in an eye for an eye, but in this case, I will make an acceptation. I conceder this man a murderer who planned on genocide. He deserves the most painful of punishments. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.... I doubt it seriously.....

Anti-Evolution Legislation Tennessee

I just read yet another article about religion fucking up our future with superstitions of the past. Here is the article;

Anti-Evolution Legislation Tennessee

Now... The gist of this new legislature, if passed, will basically force the schoolboards of Tennessee to help explain the flaws in certain sciences. The examples given were: biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming, and human cloning. Do any or all of these examples sound somewhat religiously biased?

Let me be perfectly blunt right now. There ARE NO FLAWS in Evolution. NONE. There are small details I am sure that have yet to be discovered, and the original theory has been altered some since it's inception. This does not mean there are flaws in it.

These are uneducated useless people that have been told that evolution is false by some preacher who has about as much education as they do. This is the blind leading the blind with torches and spears. Anyone who goes against a proven scientific theory without the knowledge to back it up is of no use to the modern world and should be given no freedoms of speech. That's right, you heard me! I love the freedom of speech, without it, this blog would not exist. However, it should come with the limitation of knowledge in whatever the fuck your speaking against.

I would never, ever speak against say... Hinduism. Yes, I know it's some form of religion, and as an atheist, I am supposed to hate it. I don't. I don't know the first thing about Hinduism, so I won't say shit about it. Without knowledge, I haven't the right.

The fact that these idiots speak against Evolution only prove it as a fact. They are uneducated, superstitions, and let's face it, primitive. Their biology may match the rest of the human population, but they are less evolved. They yell and scream about 'not coming from monkeys'.... Well, I don't. I come from an ape-like species that eventually separated into ape and man. Anti-Evolutionists.... THEY came from monkeys.

I have been having a slight issue as of late. My problem is that of intolerance. I am not referring to bigoted religious zealots, I am speaking of myself. I have had a very difficult time lately when it comes to theists trying to argue their point, failing, then reasserting that same point. The slightly more intelligent ones tend to rephrase said ascertion, but it is all the same to me.

I will try and give you the simplest example I can;

"I don't believe in any gods"

"Then you are going to Hell. You don't want to go to hell do you?"

"I don't believe in Hell. It is part of the same mythology that your god is from."

"God is not a myth! You sir, are going to Hell!....You Don't want that do you?"

Right now Jiminy Cricket is jumping up and down on my shoulder screaming "Run Asshole Run!". I smile as sweetly and understandingly as I possible can, and try and explain why threatening me with an invisible stick is useless unless he can prove its existence. All the while I'm scraping my feet on the ground like a bull ready for some fun.

This reaction is just fine when I'm debating (if you can call it that nowadays) on the internet, but when I'm face to face with someone being that blatantly ignorant and stubborn, I'm a bit scared what I might do next. Mind you, until just a few years ago, I had an extremely short fuse, ready to blow at any moment. I've spent the last few years learning to calm those instincts. This worked until recently.

So world...What Do you do to keep yourself stress free? Specifically, what do you do to keep yourself from knocking some idiot on his ass? I would love to learn some new methods because the more I look around, the dumber the world seams to get.

Discovering Religion: Ep 19 - If America Became a Christian Nation (3 of 3)

Biblical "History"

I am currently watching the History Channel. There is a program on that "proves" bits and pieces from the bible. What a crock. This is something that real science does not do. True scientist do not try an prove things, they look for answers, which ever way they lead. It's called unbiased theory. People need to be smarter.

Gay Marriage

Apparently, discriminating against some types of people is wrong, but others, it's perfectly ok. I've heard alot of things about gay marriage from theists: It's wrong, disgusting, unholy, perverted and it hurts the sanctity of marriage... Odd, those are the EXACT same things I read in an old letter submitted to a paper about interracial marriage. Theists build walls, it's all they know, and all their good for.

Gay Adoption

I have seen quite a bit of verbal crap thrown at gays, and their wish to adopt. Most people say that gays should not adopt because a child needs a mother and a father.... sorry, most religious nutjobs say that. They say that a gay coupple will damage the child, or not really love the child.

Where do foster children come from? Well, obviously, a foster child comes from a loving, wonderful strait couple that decides to give their child to someone who can't have one.... Bullshit. Most foster children are born from neglectful, careless, and sometimes drug addicted, and abusive degenerates. Not all of them, mind you, some come from rape victims who have been forced to give birth by uncaring family. Needless to say, most of the children in foster care have no biological parents worth their own lives, no less the lives of the children.

Alot of foster kids are the result of strait women who have a night of fun without protection. These people, like the rape victims, are told that they cannot abort the pregnancy because of some assholic belief that the growth inside them is a person. It's not. When it breaths fresh air, it's a person. When it needs to be hooked up to human, or a machine to survive, it's a parasite. A vegitable, replacing life extending machines with a human. So, it gets born into a family that does not want it, and in many cases, abused and neglected by someone who has no right to bear a child, or too young to do so.

Now this child is in foster care, or some other care facility hoping to get adopted by some nice couple. Most strait couples won't do it. Why should they, a male and a female can have their own, why would they help someone else's? Mind you, most of these children have been scared for life because of their biological parents, so adopting them is a real charity for someone who can have their own. I applaud these people, they are a gift to the world.

So strait couples are few and far between. This means that most of these kids will never be adopted, and spend their entire young lives in these facilities.

Now... A gay couple wants to adopt. Well, sorry, you can't, because "a child should have a mother and a father".... since the ones who created him were pillars of love.....

So, a strait couple won't adopt, and a gay couple won't be allowed to adopt because the people in charge are ignorant zealots. Who is left to adopt these kids? No one. Have fun in foster care, where many of the "parents" keep you around for the monthly check.

Religion should be abolished, and it practices should be illegal.

Dan Savage on Gay Adoption

From: dansavage — November 18, 2009 — Dan Savage presents his viewpoint on the state of gay adoption in America today.

Pushing Atheism

Some people have asked me, in not so pleasant words why I

"push" Atheism. Push... Now that word they do use. It makes it sound

like I'm dealing crack doesn't it? They like those buzz words don't

they? Actually, this is part of the answer. Words.

Many people think that I simply hate god. I love it when they

bring this one up...just love it....it just makes me want to hugg

them, and kiss them and stab them and...oops, off topic.... I do not

hate god. I don't hate god, and I don't hate trolls. Why? neither

exist. Like the boogie man, there is nothing to fear but fear itself,

and there is no one to hate when they don't fucking exist!!!!...oops,

off topic again! I do that, have you noticed?

Do I hate religion? Yes, christianity, and all those with a

singular deity most. I hate them because of, like I said, words. This

is something I noticed at a very early age, as I am sure many of you

reading this have. When having a conversation about, let us say,...

computers... People have a directness to their speech patterns.

Mostly, there are many truths, some lack of knowledge, and maybe a

small lie....usually pertaining to the lack of knowledge.

When people talk about money, there is a slightly different

aire to their speech patterns. Usually they are either confounded, and

add an overwhelming amount of truth, or they are slightly arogant, and

you can sense some lies. All these things are normal, and anyone can

notice them.

When people talk about whatever god they believe in, there is

a completely different feel to it. There is a synthetic peace that

follows them as they speak, a kind of drugged whispyness....I'm pretty

sure that is not a word, but go with it... I have heard my mother talk

about her god and there is a definite ignorance to the sound of her

voice, a childlike blindness to all things outside of the fantasy

world she is currently staying in.

When the faithful speak of morals, that ignorant feel is there

as well, even when speaking of an ideal you hold as well. When you

lie, as an Atheist, you feel bad for the person you lied to. When you

lie as a christian, it is a sin. This, right here is the ignorance I

am speaking of. There is no pity for those they lied to, but it's a

sin, so they did wrong.

When a young girl is impregnated due to a rape, and has an

abortion, a normal person feels sorry for her and what she has been

through. A christian feels nothing for the girl who just "killed her

baby".

So,... Why do I "push" Atheism? I do so because it is reality.

I do so because christianity, and it's sister religions are vile, and

their followers are ignorant fools, who in many cases are just as

vile. I hate religion because some little boy in Nebraska will be

taught that black people are evil, and given a cone shaped hat for his

eighteenth birthday. Religion sucks, and so do most of the religious.
