Our society has indoctrinated us for so long through the lies fed us from church and our christian parents, we just swallow it cause we're told that if we don't - we'll go to hell.

If it’s going to be a better world, we’ll have to make it so, if it’s going to be a safer world, we’ll have to make it so, if it’s going to be a fairer more egalitarian world, we’ll have to make it so.

About eighteen years ago the bible was the only source of my knowledge, and faith the inner conviction of its truth. At that time I dare say that there were few as committed as I was to the lies of Christianity.<br /><br />One reading of the bible in its entirety is all it took for me. The more I read the more questions I had, there was this nagging feeling that this just did not make any sense from a logical point of view. <br /><br />Slowly but surely, in my mind reason finally prevailed. Some of us are lucky to "see the light," but not all of us have the temerity to accept that our superstitions were just that.<br /><br />I don't laugh at the Peggy's and her male counterparts, instead I feel a deep sorrow for people trapped in lies and superstition. For whatever reason that is only known to them, they fear to stare reason in the face and take the journey of the discovery of truth.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-19267379686919399022012-01-27T17:58:32.486-05:002012-01-27T17:58:32.486-05:00Another great article Mr. Hump.

We have a nation where a majority of people take pride in remaining wilfully ignorant, even highly educated folks sometimes. People praise each other for having 'faith' and believing faith leads to knowledge.<br /> Intellectual curiosity, questioning information you get from people with an obvious agenda (not just religious but corporate and governmental as well), having the temerity to disagree with the rest of the flock...nearly unheard of, especially in the religious ranks.<br /> Facts and empirical evidence do not seem to matter to these people, except for the head honchos who know actual knowledge threatens their 'leadership' position. <br /> I will never give up the fight but damn this gets frustrating.flyz4freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852254779799144341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-7121251258644129902012-01-27T17:41:13.038-05:002012-01-27T17:41:13.038-05:00@NewEnglandBob That is the typical trash from nutj...@NewEnglandBob That is the typical trash from nutjobs like Santurim. Satanic Secularism? That's an oxymoron. Satanic is being affiliated with the Church of Satan. Secularisn is the lack of any religious affiliation.

There are so many Peggys that willfully turn their backs on reason and thinking and go with their emotions and wishful desires instead though.<br /><br />Just yesterday, one of the members of the clown college known as the Republicans, that fuckwit, Santorum, told everyone to stop supporting colleges and universities because they teach that satanic secularism instead of creationism.NewEnglandBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190715223856189053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-61213770621008048222012-01-27T10:23:19.135-05:002012-01-27T10:23:19.135-05:00Motorhead:

It's funny & sad. We know the funny part and the sad part to me is being so sorely outnumbered. <br /><br />On a note related to the discussion you wrote about here; an old school mate of mine "re-friended" me on Facebook. Here. I'll just quote him here: "It's all good brother. I know it got kinda weird with us last spring when you went late night black tooth grin/boots up on me. Haha! You actually planted a seed in my head that day that began a personal journey for me of free thinking & open mindedness.I hadn't been to a church in a few years prior to our conversations last spring and even when I did go, I thought to myself "Am I a fucking fool, do I really believe this shit, what makes christianity better or more legit than any other religion"?Well needless to say, I'm a much happier and content human being without all that religious dogma bullshit weighing down on me. So thank you [my name here], thank you for bustin' my balls about it last spring. It really opened my eyes to what this ball-O-mud we're living on is all about. I look back at those days when I was a "christian" and I'm truely embarassed of myself. How could I be so closed minded & foolish? So, to sum it all up, you can talk religion anytime you want, 'cause we're on the exact same fuckin page man. LOL I've actually lost a few FB friends because of my Atheist posts already! LMAO! OK man, I guess I've rambled on long enough. See ya & may the Hitch be with you!" <br /><br />Yeah. That made me feel good and I wasn't trying to "convert" anyone. It made me feel really good. "Pretty fucking awesome" is more like it.Motorheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148722323551221745noreply@blogger.com
