Rationalizing the irrational

These were some of my replies to a Facebook conversation (obviously where the greatest minds meet for discourse) this morning, I had to share my replies to the claims of finding God a self-made journey as well as the validity of the Holy Bible (lulz) and other amazingly self-deceiving rebuttals. Below are my replies to the stronger of the believers replying:

 I don't understand how you find truth in something (Islam is a bigger offender) in a religion that subjugates women and condones slavery. Ignore the Old Testament all you want, it's there and if you don't follow the Bible you're simply a diet-Christian looking to cut and paste the parts of the Bible you find unsettling. 

And what 'truth' and 'way' were the half million people who died in the storm in the Philippines missing out on? I see only a planet Earth with two major plagues : humans, and their concocted beliefs to rationalize their fear of death. 

Then you believers say that you'll "pray for the victims" as if that is of ANY benefit. It's just a lazy way of showing little compassion. I'm sorry but the only real Christians in this world do good without expectations for eternal reward and go get their fucking hands dirty instead of preaching to their own choirs of the even less intelligent who rely on more formulated opinions of this perpetuated 2000 year old myth.

 It's a tax exempt, woman hating and oppressing male dominated scam. The answer to the creation of the universe is in a book written by sheep herders from 2000 years ago when only 2 percent of the population could read or write? There are currently over 5,700 religions or gods but Yea, the one Americans believe is the truth. Bullshit.

 I won't accept any of this spiritual journey self redemption nonsense on behalf of my dear friend Hannah who died from stage IV soft cell sarcoma within 3 months of diagnosis, the millions of children who starve daily and the Joel Osteen evangelical scum avoiding taxes and stealing from the poor under the guise of prosperity through prayer. Human action, not telepathy is the only way to take care of one another.


When implied that I am not "enlightened" -


 I have quite easily the most formulated and well-thought responses so to imply that I am less enlightened than someone who is again, using a book written by sheep-herding peasants who knew nothing of the world outside their tiny village as the reason for existing is utterly, utterly absurd and I doubt you'd listen to a sheep-herder nowadays give you very much advice on anything beyond sheep-herding. We all grew up in a DOMINANTLY Catholic neighorhood, dissent of the church is really something some of you have read for the frst time from me, and I know that for a fact. You were born into it no different than I was. Indoctrination in itself is evil and abusive. By the time I was reading at a 10th grade level in 4th grade I already knew there was no coherency and an abundance of similarity to the previous civilizations gods and goddesses. 

So tell me this, south side oppressed Catholics..what makes your religion different from the Mythology of the Greeks and Romans early on? As one of my favorite quotes says, 

"The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next". To imply that Christianity, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, God are all one and that every other religion is wrong and will have to answer to your god is 100% completely a SUPREMACIST attitude.

Never forget that Muhammad is an asshole

Never forget...that Islamist extremists believe just as strongly in their god as you do yours, they were unfortunately more willing to prove it than the Christian nutjobs who kill abortion doctors, or who spent millions lobbying against gay marriage, against gays in the military. Never forget religion is the single most destructive force known to man. And don't give me that "charity" bullshit, any decent human being who is collecting tax free dollars praising a mythical ghost-jew should be feeding the homeless, as well as the jobless. Some of you even quote idiots like Joel Osteen, who is a liar and thief, so do not forget that it was RELIGION once more that killed innocent Americans, some of whom I am sure were atheists and felt nothing but pure fury as they realized their lives were coming to an end at the hands of uneducated fundamentalists. Never forget Islam subjugates women to near slavery. Never forget Christianity promotes an all-loving God that loves you enough to send you to hell if you don't believe in him even when the "proof" is an errant pile of literary garbage (the Holy Bible) either.

The New Testament is just bad as the old one so stop acting like your Christ is any better than the pedophile Muhammad, kids still die from cancer needlessly and starve all over the world. Your loving God sure is powerless when it comes to people dying in the most horrific manner possible, yet you have the audacity to thank him when something goes YOUR way while people's lives as well as families were annihilated thanks to the a slightly different version of the same almighty being from a different book instructed his followers to do so.

Once more, religion is the single greatest cause of bloodshed and mania in human history. Stop contributing to it, keep your delusions and cast your judgements aside. I'm only judging your critical thinking skills and daring you to not fear death or nothingness, you won't know of either when you pass on.
