Religion is a fucking joke.

Religion is a mind enslaving tool used to give masses a sense of hope when obeying their masters while rejecting all logic with an immoral mind numbing book of self contradicting smut.

The Bible is so self contradicting that no matter what stance you take you can probably find a part of the bible that backs it. Anybody that claims that the Bible is the word of God yet picks and chooses which parts to take seriously is out of their fucking mind. Especially if you are claiming that it is supposed to be our guide for morality and spirituality. How can anybody sit there and say that certain parts are supposed to be taken seriously while certain parts are not? It’s just fucking stupid, flat out stupidity. Anybody that claims religion is a moral guide is ignoring the crusades, the witch hunts, the nazis, etc. According to the Bible, God is the biggest monster of them all. He causes the most pain, he tortures people. He one time killed a dude’s family and starved him just to prove to Satan that he would still be faithful. If God is so high and mighty then why is he so desperate to prove himself to the ‘king of evil’? If God is so perfect then why does he feel petty emotions such as jealousy and ego? If god is so high and mighty then why does he NEED us to worship him so bad? God lied to us while Satan told us the truth, Satan gave us the ability to think, to be self aware and to actually know morality, if God really wanted us to be moral why wouldn’t he want us to even understand what morality is? Sounds more like he really wanted mindless slaves. Sounds like the Bible really teaches you just to serve, obey, and never question it. After all, I can fuck a child in front if it’s dead mother and still be forgiven if I accept Jesus as my lord and savior, but I can never be forgiven for rejecting God. Yes, God really knows morality very well. By the way, Satan has never hurt anybody ever. Satan is condemned to an eternity of torture for rejecting and questioning god. The only thing Satan has done to man is tell man the truth while God lied to our faces. All from the bible.

Claiming that the decline of religion is coherent with the decline of our own morals is bullshit. There was never a happy sunshiny time where everything was perfect. Kids still got raped back in the day. People still got brutally murdered back in the day. We still had the same exact fucked up planet that it has always been. Difference is that now we don’t hang black people for their skin color and now we are learning to accept faggots for who they are and now we don’t burn women alive for being smarter than us and, well I guess we are actually a lot more moral now days than back then. The only huge change is the fact that we have the internet which gives us information at the touch of our fingertips that we’d have to go digging for back in the day. We now can actually see just how much murder happens and how much rape happens and how many pedophiles there are because we are more in tuned with what is going on. It creates the illusion that we are less moral just because the black tarp of ignorance has been ripped away with the internet. Along with the internet comes tons of information. People can educate them selves so much quicker with the internet. We get so much information, which might be the reason why we have less people that are religious. All of the flaws and the loopholes and the gaps and the contradictions are much more exposed these days than back then. And it’s not that you can’t trust people anymore, it’s that we are much more paranoid these days because all we ever hear about is the bad shit that happens and we never ever shed light on the good shit that happens. We believe that we can’t trust each other anymore even though in reality we are too paranoid to even take the chances to trust people. Though, one thing I can actually say is that I think we are slowly losing manners. I can’t really judge the younger generation since most kids are disrespectful mannerless bastards, but I do see respect and manners being lost. Oh, and a growth in celebrity worship.

But, to agree with you, I don’t think that just because somebody is religious it means they are a moron. I don’t get mad when religious people say, “god bless you” because it’s an act of caring. The only thing that bothers me is when people get preachy about it, as if they have the ability to know something that is beyond any human being’s perception. As if they are the high and mighty king of morality.

And also, Religion is not the root of all wars. Property is the root of all wars. Who gets what. People just use religion to justify it.

But to go back to disagreeing, I’m sorry but you have to be a blind mother fucker to not notice the bullshit that’s going on in the government. President has way too much power, we are slowly losing rights, Monsanto, the past few wars being not real wars because the president found an unconstitutional loop whole to go to war with out congressional permission, we spend hundreds of millions more dollars on our military than any other country, we spend more money per person on education than most countries yet we have worse results (which you can’t just blame on our “new lazy” generation), we have more incarcerations than any other country by a lot too, our money is actually American owned the federal reserve is not a government bank, the fact that the federal reserve is a central banking system which is a big reason why we wanted to revolt against Britain with their central banking system, majority of our American flags are made in China, we are known for our police brutality, or government doesn’t take our opinions seriously, our government isn’t nearly as transparent as it should be, the many mysteries and unknown facts about 9/11, we our completely afraid of middle easterners even though we have more domestic terrorists than foreign terrorists, etc. I’m not one to believe conspiracy theories, but as time goes on the more I distrust the government.

Plus, on the police thing, I’ve been thrown into the back of a police car with handcuffs with out being told what I did wrong (the dude actually picked me up based solely on assumptions too) which goes against the fourth amendment. Our cops suck. You know, the second amendment is there just so I can protect myself from something like that.

And at the end of this book I shall share an unpopular opinion. I don’t think children are more valuable or important than adults. I think that’s just some goodie good feel good bullshit.

Of the 1763 recorded wars in human history, 123 have been named as having religious difference be the cause of the conflict. I’m not a math wizard or anything, but I’m pretty sure that’s like 6%ish tops.

Lol I was waiting for this and I don’t want to get into it with you. Because we already know your stance on this stuff and I can’t explain mine in any way to help you better understand it. Good read though.

@86 I never said the gov’t wasn’t corrupt. People just need to fuck off thinking that the sky is falling every time anything happens.
