False Profits

If you can still make apologies for 

anyone who would try and save their reputation 

at the expense of Justice 

and thousands of young people's lives, 

you may want to rethink all the moral ground 

you imagine your religion gives to you.

Crossover Appeal

If wishes were fishes (and loaves).....

Lineage

Conundrum

And yet those of us soberly
seeing reality are expected to politely overlook,
even support, the zealous nature
of believers...
so fragile is their faith.

Common Threads

"Whatever you do unto the least of mine...."

If 'Prayer' Worked....

 

...the sorry false-prophet daddy-fuckers would

all be feeding the worms in the ground

right now, and finally making a positive

contribution to the universe!

 

(Can we have found the Fountain of

Youth? Are ignorance and hatefulness

natural restorers of longevity? Regardless,

they sure don't produce good looks.)

Hope y'all make it in time to attend the

Convention of Little Hitlers in Hell, y'all.

(Naw...there's still no 'Hell'--all our Devils

are planet side.)

Shoot the 'Messenger'

 

Anyone daring to speak 'on behalf of'

an omniscient deity should automatically

be considered disturbed, and all procla-

mations dismissed with extreme prejudice.

 

Just rational prejudice--not the fear-based,

hateful, ignorant, falsely supremacist sort

these goons promote.

Anyone claiming to speak for their 'God'

should meet the same fate. Grab the wood

and nails...it's time for showboaters to put

their money where their mouths are.

Why?

Pick and Choose

Whatever happened to the 'immorality'

of piousness...

and judgementalness...

and ego...

and hypocrisy?

I guess those admonitions got lost

somewhere in the umpteen translations.

Or, more likely...

the reality that religion is all just headgames

and make believe doesn't cover up the idea

of 'spiritual transformation' being malarkey...

and human beings would far rather create

misery for another

than give up their own vices.

The Process

Life is dark and insane and wretched,

with chaos reigning and hardships constant...

so some people have booze and drugs

to help them through the rough patches,

others become absorbed in their work,

some screw their brains out to medicate,

and others eat away their pain.

But some feel the need to impose a

fictional system over the barbs of fluctuation

and meaninglessness.

They subscribe to amazing tales and superstitious

applications of faulty reasoning to concoct a

method and pattern and 'plan' where none exists.

This gives them a sense of comfort, the idea

of making sense of the senseless, and then they

are sated...for a time.

But then others seek to address the reality

of random death and cruel fates and wanton

violence....and that seems to undermine the

pretense of calm that those dedicated to the

fabrication have constructed.

And thus the battle begins.

**********************************

The Truth Shall Set You Free!

There's a big difference between being calmed

by the concept of religion and being made compliant

or complicit by it.

The church teaches demurity and selflessness so

that they can more easily sway folks and get away

with their personal evils. (Saying you're spiritual and

chaste is far different from actually practicing it.)

'Submissiveness' is not a spiritual path, but rather

a means of furthering the hierarchy.

Your humility is for the benefit of the institution,

not the individual.

It's not coincidence that the wealthy, the powerful,

and the male created religion as a means of keeping

radicals, the poor, women, gays, slaves, and others

from questioning the injustice, the hardship, the

inhumanity of conditions in this world.

And some things never change.

*******************************************

Upright

We are not obligated

to live by anyone else's

'moral standards'...

we are obligated

merely to survive

(and secondarily, to be

the best person we can be.)

"Altho it's been said, many times, many ways...."

What the Fuckwas this show doing on The History Channel!?!?!

Shoulda been on Sy-Fy at the very least.

Are they sure they don't want to make

some more revisions before they show it again?

Or come up with a new tag line?

"Most fantastically absurd story ever told...
(emphasis on 'told!'")

"The most heavily edited story ever rewritten."

"Featuring swipes from most every religion and

secular source in the known world!"

"You will believe a world religion can dominate

common sense and reality!"

And let's not pretend the 'Devil' looking like

the President was any kind of mix-up or oversight.

Burnett and his wife are part of the same nut ball

Tea-Party hardcore right-wing Republican gang

of conservative thugs that hold to all the abnormal

prefixes of said same; anti-gay, anti-choice, Obama

conspiratists, etc.--Hell, they even promote forced

teaching of The Bible in public schools!

I love how these folks produce a flowery, kind-

hearted epic like this to put a smiley-spin on the

story, and to distract from the fact that the gist

of the actual teachings bears nothing in common

to the strident and demanding sycophants that

dominate these for-profit organizations seeking

to control people and politics.

Given the ratings for this crap fest, I guess

America's still in decline in terms of intellect

and critical thinking. Desperate times produce

desperate actions. Guess that's what the backers

were planning on the whole time.

Revelations

We don't care about your religious beliefs

because you don't care about the heartbreak

of kids and adults in your congregation who

have suffered and even killed themselves

based on your condemnations, your malicious

counsel, your dismissals, and your hardened hearts.

So clean your own house before you worry

about what's in ours.

And get a tougher skin; if you can't take it,

you sure as hell shouldn't be dishing it out.

I Love Moxy!

I LOVE a good, real, bare-bones protest.

A get-in-your-face,

your shit is outrageous so ours has to be also,

offensive-ass and provocative

SHIT-STIRRER!

And these ladies (and Grrrrlz!) take

the cake! This is a protest with TEETH

a la the old ACT UP and Greenpeace stuff.

(Hey, the enemy bares their teeth on us

all the time, but we aren't supposed to

reciprocate? Yeesh--like this even compares

to centuries of abuses and criminal activities of

organized religion or the Catholic church in particular.)

It's impressive in its effectiveness to

get people's attention and get the publicity--and make

a message that will resonate.

We should start taking more cues

of outrageous indoctrination and dissemination

of information from the masters of mental

manipulation, the church folks.

Another Day, Another Terrorist Threat Bombs

So in an e-mail to the already-indoctrinated amongst

them, professional nut job and terrorist Tony Perkins--

leader of the Hate Group "Family Research Council"--

directly blames the bombing at the Boston Marathon

on this country's 'Sexual Liberalism."

Huh.

In addition to there being no real difference

in his fascistic crazy diatribe, nor in him and his

group trying to milk people's desperation and

fear for monetary profit, I would say his illogic

abounds to the normal degree as well.

After all, to say that happily engaging in sexual activities

brings about bad things is pretty much as faulty and

disingenuous as one can get...but that fits this fraudulent

group's identity to a "T."

Hey, all you have to do is look at Perkins to see

that a little sex--and the ability to relax and appreciate

it--might cure a LOT of this world's problems...starting

with one dynamically unbound/tightly wound Psycho

mother-plucker.
