Christians, Any questions?

To Kill an Atheist

As Non-Believers... If that is what we are calling ourselves today... If we are brought up in a "believer" household; once we are able to comprehend life's journey and understand the direct impact of our decisions, we go through what seems to be our own death. We go through our own death to enlighten ourselves to the reality of what nature has given us.

For those of us who have been through a tragic loss of a loved one, the healing process of death is a long and at times, a very lonely one. First it is the fear of stepping out in the world alone, seemingly for the first time. We are missing something and try our hardest to find it to make life go on as normal as possible. I think the "fear" stage was the shortest stage for myself. I remember feeling if I did not think about the nonexistence of a god, I wouldn't be punished and my family wouldn't either. For the longest time I thought I was the weird one among my family and friends for not believing. Now it is the opposite. They are the weird ones. I know now that I am the right one through my own hard earned reality. Making my own waves, my own footprints in the mud... Not necessarily needing anyone to tell me how to think, just needing someone to point me in the direction of the information to make up my own mind. The fear of being wrong due to ignorance was what the fear was all along. Once my basic questions were being answered in my personal quest for answers, the fear turned into happiness.

Happiness in being able to realize and somewhat comprehend life's secret. My life's secret is laughing, loving and learning. Doing that as much as possible our one and only shot here on this ball of iron and granite. I think about all the billions that came before me and laid down the track for us to live so expressively, somewhat carefree. Our ancestors had to think about predators and where to find their next meal. All the while, only laughing and loving every once in a while. Our lives are somewhat different. We are more able to laugh and express ourselves more artistically than those that came before us, or in some countries, we are lucky to live on a continent so free of expression. I think Atheists forget that today in England and North America we are free to state out loud our science beliefs. We can speak out loud a theory that we have learned about. We can say, "No gods, No masters" without being an outcast, beaten, discriminated against, and killed. I think we forget the struggles of those who came before us so we can have this freedom as we do today. I think that we forget that people are still being persecuted for having a website such as this one. I know my book collection alone would get me and all of my family killed in just about every country in the Middle East. Today we have would-be Atheists and Atheists who remain quiet and willingly ignorant to the information at their fingertips.

Which brings us to the next step of Atheism, my personal favorite... Anger. Anger is the reason for ALL revolutions. Anger is the reason for the beginning to ALL new ways of thinking. I do not think our adrenal glands are as big as they are for no reason at all. We are a part of the animal kingdom. It is our communication that separates and allows us to become renegades... contrarians. Anger is a gift that is rejected or embraced by us. I myself, I embrace anger. I use it to fuel my passion for learning and making my own path in this world of ours. Anger and intellect will guide me to my own opinions and theories about life through my own experiences. Anger and intellect will give me my own reality through diligence and intestinal fortitude that only I can afford myself. I always try to find a lesson to learn through life's experiences. Recognizing my own personal fact that we never make mistakes, only life lessons. A mistake will kill you, a life lesson always teaches you something no matter how big or small.

Then there is closure. Some Atheists have closure quicker than others. I believe some Atheists never attain closure. Honestly, I hope I never have closure with this issue. I enjoy learning about other's superstitions. I enjoy learning about the ways of our ancestors and why they believed and how that belief supposedly brought humanity to this point. Christians and other religions go through what they call a rebirth. I believe we as Atheists go through our own death. We deal with the death of our "soul" so that we can live, love, laugh and attain true reality and happiness.

Why Republicans Scare Me

Rick Santorum

Rick Santorum, what can I say for this useless, walking, talking, waste of human flesh? I know what I would like to say. But! Not here, and most certainly not now. The presidential candidate decided he would announce to the world that he believes a baby produced by rape is a gift from his god. I would like to just say that it has taken me three days to figure out how to tackle this essay without coming off as a pompous prick. There is really no way around it, and honestly I need to embrace my apparent true nature as such. I do not think this may be much of a persuasive essay to most of you who are Republican or Christian or perhaps sadly, both. I want to give you my thoughts on why this man’s statement is so ineptly ignorant and one sidedness  fits into almost every fallacy definition. If I were president, after Santorum made this statement, I would have personally ordered him deported to Iran.

In an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN on January 20, 2012, Rick Santorum was asked how he could take such a callous position on rape or incest victims by essentially forcing these women by law to give birth to these babies. Rick Santorum said, "I believe and I think that the right approach is to accept this horribly created, in the sense of rape, but nevertheless, in a very broken way, a gift of human life, and accept what God is giving to you." What exactly, are we as a nation, supposed to say to that? He goes on to say that this issue is, "not a matter of religious values". Just in case you missed the last line of the last quote… here it is again. It said, “accept what God is giving to you." So in our fallacy definition, this idiot committed, “either or reasoning”. He is trying to force his opinion of abortion down our throats by way of his Roman Catholic belief system. Because of his religious affiliation, he feels as a nation should have to follow that belief. Even though he is pro-death penalty, he is also anti-abortion. Is being an oxymoron a fallacy? Rick Santorum is also “slanting” fallacy, by constantly suppressing the fact that he is pro-death penalty. When the subject comes up of abortion, he relies on all life is precious… unless you are in prison and found guilty by a jury of your peers.

This brings us to yet another fallacy, “over reliance on authority”. Over reliance of authority is used a lot on this Earth. Not only by politicians but by religious leaders and their minions, but also Rick Santorum likes to use the fact that all life is precious and uses his misguided religion to bring it home that his beliefs are correct. Rick Santorum likes to play the “all life is precious” card a lot. But he fails to mention that his god is one of the worst tyrants that supposedly exists on this Earth. If we should base our belief as a nation on the issue of abortion on the Holy Bible, the supposed written word of YHWH (God), then the flood story is proof that God is pro-choice. God aborted every living thing on this Earth because a few thousand humans were being disobedient in his eyes. Is this not a fallacy of “slippery slope”? Did God not commit murder in Rick Santorum’s eyes? Did God commit another fallacy in the flood story, “stereo typing”? God just automatically wipes the Earth clean of 99.9% of animal life including hominids just because of a few bad apples by his innate command. The Abrahamic God’s myth essentially creates us sick and commands us to be well. So if we do wrong, by the beliefs of many Christian fundamentalists, God aborts life all the time. So, how precious is life to this god really?

In the matters of abortion, all matters should lie in the health of the decision making woman. Not some sadistic ignorant politician with a theistic agenda. I think that if Rick Santorum wants to push his twisted ideals on to people with his ancient archaic belief system, he should move somewhere that embraces such fallacies, Iran.

If this man is elected president of these United States of America, I will not be ‘guilty by association” for being a United States citizen. I refuse to live under someone who relies on “over-reliance on authority” by “slanting” his real feelings because he feels his theology is “either or reasoning”. His theology affects his policies by way of “stereo typing” us as if we are all Roman Catholics. His head is somewhere other than in its natural evolutionary position due to his theistic ideology is constantly “begging the question”.

And now a word from this man’s lovely, holy, infallible, omniscient, and omnipotent, morally righteous book a gift to all of mankind… God’s spoken word passed to man. The Holy Bible.

"Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against

the rock!" (Psalms 137:9)

 "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled

against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be

dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)

"Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is

joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their

houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." (Isaiah 13:15,16)

"Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they

shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare

children." (Isaiah 13:18)

Who's Plan Is It Anyway

So it seems my favorite little douche-bag, Pat Robertson, came out with some more generic Christian rhetoric this week. He said if Peyton Manning had another reoccurring neck injury it would serve the Denver Broncos right... Just because Tim Tebow feels like he has to meditate to the same over-rated God as he, Pat Robertson, he must release some hot air. This pompous wind bag feels that Tim Tebow was being mistreated by Denver. So what! Why should we care what you think about football? I mean the cheerleaders wearing their skimpy little outfits for the drooling men out there should cause an earthquake and kill everyone in the stadium, according to his version of theology. I figured football and its alcohol driven sub-culture would be rather much for him and all of his judgmental statements in the first place. Perhaps I am wrong... Perhaps Pat Robertson and good ol' boy Jimmy Swaggart will do "a line" and a "Jager-Bomb" every Sunday before they watch football? They'll watch football and stare at the scandalous cheerleaders and hope to catch a glimpse of their "dirty parts"...?


My thing here is, whenever things happen to Christians they claim everything happens for a reason. They claim that it is in "God's Plan"... So apparently this is not one of them. Peyton Manning and the Broncos, regardless of their faiths, are condemned to hell! Poor good ol' innocent Tebow must suffer in New York now, just as over-rated as tits on a bull if you ask me. I am a 31 year old lumber grading college student, I could out throw that clown any day of the week. Why hasn't anyone on Fox News asked Patty McDouchebag if maybe he should say it is YHWH's Will to have Tebow go to New York and fade away like he will do. Maybe his next move will be to the CFL and then from there he can go on to a glorious career as a fluffer for Canadian gay porn.


In all seriousness, why is this not in God's plan? Whenever earthquakes and snow storms hit, it is because of something God is punishing a whole nation and/or tribe for. Maybe Tebow did not pray hard enough. Maybe Manning prays harder than Tebow? Maybe Manning is just a better quarterback and has a better chance of a Superbowl victory than a splash-in-the-pan over-rated QB like Tebow. What is going to happen if Tebow goes to NY and he gets traded from there, or what if he gets hurt? I know exactly what ye old Pat will say... He will blame it on all the gays in New York. Where does it end? My assumption to that question will be when he joins his other bigot friend Jerry Falwell at the maggot buffet.
