Differentiate

Unbelief--

free thought--

is not a crime,

even if you are

treated like a criminal

for expressing or

indulging in it.

Know the difference.

***

Much ado about nothing

religion is not merely

a 'bastardized

form of god'.....

rather,

'god' is a construct of religion...

(a ridiculous, self-serving

source of its own

answers and support)

Discovery

Asking questions

is the sign of a keen,

strong, clear mind.

The smartest people

know how little we know.

Blind faith

is a dead end street,

divorced from reality.

Crying Wolf: Deflection as Sport

To attack religion and its use is not to abjectly
attack all people who wield it. Some are simply
hapless, trusting sorts who need a leg up in this
world of challenge and trickiness.

That does not change the unbelievable nature
of the crutch--promoting that the user is lame.

Many have asked me, defensive and hurt, why
I would choose to 'attack' something (religion,
belief in 'god,') that has 'brought so many joy!'

This presupposes that it's joy which has been
brought, as opposed to compliance and repression
(The slave is always taught to revere its master.)

It also fails to address the turnaround, the oft-over-
looked legitimate and incisive query regarding
religion's true nature;
Don't all the 'well-meaning'  followers of religion feel
bad about all the innocent lives they have harmed
through promotion of false belief, wasted time,
suppressed spirits, guilt, shame, judgment, reduced
quality of life, exclusions, self-hate, excommunications,
violence, racism, sexism, homophobia, and so much more?

Avoidable, unnecessary horrors that they, by default,
and their religion, by extension, have caused?

Take your own inventory.

The predator often smiles and bears charity.

Fear of Unification

The concept of "one" people on earth is

demonized by most every religion; the

only means of achieving unity for them is

by being inculcated with their thoughts

(and joining won't transpire until after

this world.)

But oneness is not about conformity or

conglomeration. It is the reducing of all

unreal barriers of the mind, such as race,

skin color, creed, orientation, etc.

It is a dispersement of all the hate

accumulated and manifested by

tribal mentality; the forced notions

of separateness that have plagued all

peoples for so long.
