Raging on #44 - The commenting revolution.

This was a brilliant comment on the last post I did that was good enough for it's own post! You can read the original post here.

Religion - the accepted insanity. 

By SB

I can not, and will not ever be able to comprehend what some people can justify as "right". If you can murder, discriminate and hurt others in the name of an imaginary man who created the world and himself, then you must be smoking crack. It will never be clear to we atheists, what can possibly make somebody believe a nonsense story about walking on water or a story about a man who lived in a whale. Honestly? And to use this story to justify immoral acts, and to 'kick out' somebody who tried to make a stand..... What can we say? What can we do, when a large fraction of the world is delusional?


If you call yourself a Christian how can you say that you don't tolerate prejudice, hate, inequality, when the very foundations of christianity (the bible) features so many incidents including these elements?

I dont understand it. But I do however, understand, that when people such as Peter Kennedy are "kicked out" they must be doing something good (see the SMH story HERE) There is NO evidence for religion, but you can't talk to some of these people when their minds are so corrupted because they won't see reasoning - and that's a fact!


I'm not going to try and change your opinion, because there will simply be no changing mine.

Thanks.

Angry Rant #44: So you want to be a good person?

Dismissed because he promoted "Equality" and the Church can't have that! 

Go!

You might have seen that story that went buzzing around a little earlier today about that Catholic Priest, Father Peter Kennedy who was dismissed from the church back in 2009 for among other things, feeling that men and women should be equal. The other things include, calling the story of Jesus a "fable" and blessing same-sex marriage.

So here is person who believes that everyone, no matter what sex you are or race, says people should be equal. So why do other idiot Christians like Fred Nile (Christian Version of muslim extremist) get away with saying that Islam is immoral when their own religion does the same thing? Then, they cut those out of the picture that say otherwise?

I wonder how much longer it will take for these people to finally wake up to themselves and truly see the world through their own eyes and not distorted by the words of some misogynistic, contradictory, anti-democratic story written by a bunch of power-hungry men who wanted more control.

Kennedy makes a pretty valid point however - if God is some all powerful being, can do everything and knows how we think, then why did he CHOOSE not to save the lives of innocent children? If all life is sacred, then why did he allow kids to be shot up and left to bleed to death under his so called control?

If you believe in God and believe that some "all powerful being" controls your life, then you, just to put it bluntly, are a fool. Your mind has been played with - seeing the world to you must be like trying to focus on your hand underwater - I feel sorry for you - and I stand by this.

Any group, person, being or whatever other collective that promotes inequality and violence in return for "salvation" is morally wrong. Religion in all of its many shapes and forms is just simply wrong. You want to be good person? Become an atheist and treat everyone with respect and equality that they deserve.

...and lets not forget that Anders Behring Breivik, the man who murdered 76 people over the weekend in Norway was also a Christian and did it because hates Islam.


Here's a little parting quote from Max Born to get you thinking (Kudos to MC): 

   "The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it, seems to me the deepest root of all evil in this world"

Try and change my opinion - I dare you just to have go.

Dont believe the lies add spin.

Angry Rant #43: We can't swim today, the water's too wet.

With the anti-smoking lobby’s jumping for joy over their recent victories in the smoking industry and the failure that will be the plain packaging, a  “voluntary industry scheme” by the Alcohol industry will from now on put warning labels on their products.

What company in their right mind would try to actively discourage you from consuming their product? They’re trying to make people drink healthier? That’s what it’s being spun as it’s not in any way trying to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed in this country because that would be impossible. If anything, it will encourage younger people to drink.

Hmmmmmm

The keyword that keeps hitting me in the face is “voluntary”. I mean who is sucking whose dick here?  What possible motives would the alcohol industry in Australia have behind such a venture, because the labels will only affect local beers, so your binge of Coronas with lemon at the end of the month will be untouched. It’s interesting to note also that when it comes to the topic of smoking, there have been no studies proving that warning labels actually stop people from doing it. In fact, it has encouraged cheaper, more toxic cigarette imports to be sold in the country because it’s easier to produce the plain packaging. According to a study released by Deloitte, 1 in 12 cigarettes is a cheap import and isn’t subject to the strict guidelines that we have here. When it comes to the warning label on alcohol itself, what person would even read it? And why? It can’t possibly be targeted at adults because it won’t stop us from drinking and it can’t be targeted at children because they don’t read anything! It’s failure in its most pure form.

As opposed to pure WIN.

Perhaps the dictatorship that runs this country is to blame. Anti-smoking lobbies “pressured” the government into the new cigarette laws, but who’s to say that it wasn’t a push from some fascist Nazi? What if this push is being backed by some power behind the curtain? There’s already a filter in place on our internet that stops us viewing whatever websites the government CHOOSES and doesn’t tell us what they are - Google “Australian Internet Filter” and see how many results you get that are relevant.

We live in a society that is ripping itself a part through censorship and fear. A walk through Sydney will show you this with its many, many security cameras at every intersection tracking our every move and watching people latch onto their bags when they pass a group of “Muslims” because they think they’re going to blow you up or beat you up an take all of your belongings.

It’s mostly due to constant media and political spin, it seems that we are not able to care for ourselves so someone must do it for us. Someone must tell us that speeding is dangerous so revenue raising and accident-causing cameras can be installed. Someone has to tell us sitting down, breathing or simply existing will give us cancer and that apparently thinking too much can actually give you wrinkles.

Ahe ha! Ahe ha! 

So what does the future hold for this country controlled by power-hungry elites who are only focused on their own personal gain? Your guess is as good as mine - maybe blogs like this will be taken down and the people behind the prosecuted for their beliefs.

Don’t believe the lies and spin.
