Religion & The Invisible Man in the Sky

My blog gets it's name from another blog which has inspired me to write my own. It is also named as so as a reminder that if today is in fact my last day on earth I leave everyone the best blog I can write in that moment and the truest one I can mustard up. No Lies, all heart. That said I give you the lastest blog that may not be the most popular one but the most important one I've written yet.

"The time appears to me to have come when it is the duty of all to make their disscent from religion known" -John Stuart Mill

I was catholic until I reach the age of reason. When I reached that age I began to question why I follow a religion and with so many out there what made me think that I belong to the right one. I admit I was a dumb shit when it came to knowledge on catholicism and other religions but now with what I've gathered I can't help but be a skeptic to all religions. All logical people are! Let me ask you this. Is it a conspiracy against religion that newly all scientist, philosophers and other great minds of our time did not believe in any religion? Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Fidel Castro and Napoleon Bonaparte just to name a few. Ok maybe the last two weren't the best examples but a impressive list none the less.

I had no reason to question the church until as recent as last year when there stance on homosexuality and abortion became clear to me. I take offense to those against homosexuality especially. I can't follow any religion that believes in something I believe myself to be morally wrong, my conscious won't let me."Prevert! God Hates you! Fags are worthy of death!" are just a few of the choice words I've actually heard those who call themselves children of god use. If your religious you have to believe what the good book tells you and what they preach to you so if your stance on this is the same as there's then I surely pity you. Think for yourselves.

Do not get me wrong the bible has great messages and for that I applaud it but give it no more crediablity than fairy tales like "The 3 Little Pigs" or "Jack and the Bean Stalk" when it hold stories of talking snakes, a guy trapped in a whale and another raising from the dead. What is this the bible or a George Romero zombie flick? If you had no prior knowledge of which stories are in the bible and which are fairy tales you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. I see the philosophy of religion & that I get. I respect that. There is good that comes from it but I think the bad out weighs the good & thats the number one reason I'm against it. Isn't killing people in the name of god insanity? So many have died and will continue to die because of it. Stories of priest fucking kids and discrimination are enough for me to call it quits. Something about religion in the hands of mankind is scary.

I understand the comfort & security religion can bring and I also understand that leaving the church can mean commiting social suicide but if continuing to live blindly and following something because my parents or peers do then that isn't reason enough for me to believe. There are those out there who believe and live this certain lifestyle out of the fear of punishment. That also can not be enough for anyone to believe in anything.

"If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed" -Albert Einstein

Religious folks will use the agrument that there is a higher power whose ways are incomprehensible to us like trying to explain the T.V. to an ant but I think its a complete copout. People need something to believe in and are perfectly fine with not knowing truth. It boggles the mind that they will put up with a another person's questioning until you question their faith.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidance. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, a lack of evidence" - Richard Dawkins

Countless have said god has manifested himself to them. All while they were alone of course. He seem to never want to manifest himself to more than one person. I guess its not his thing. You know what I like to call these men and women? Fucken LIARS! I'd like hard facts and proof not voices someone hears. If I told you god came to me and told me to start a new religion because all the other one's have gotten it wrong would you believe me? All I need is a few to believe me and slowly but surely the rest will fall like dominos. Just look at the success of other false prophets like Joseph Smith. This gentleman said god came to him and told him to start a new religion he called the Lader Day Saints or known to you and me as the mormon religion. Joseph Smith actual got people believing in the following things: God was once a man, Evolution is false, that there is Magic Underwear with mormon symbols that protect them from harm, Satan has the control of the water, You can't get to heaven without a secret hand shake, When we die we become gods of our own planet and there will be no such thing as parent and child relationships, any person can be baptized even if they are dead example of people who have been baptized by mormons after death are Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank. I know thats a lot of information all at once and I didn't even mention Poligamy!

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful" -Lucids Annaeus Seneca"

And never is that more evident then in the watchtower religion otherwise known best as the Jehovah's Witnesses. This religion is the leading religion in mind control in my opinion. They are told at a very early age that questioning their religion is wrong. That the world was going to end in 1914 then when that did not come true they were told it was going to end in 1915 then when that year came and went the date got pushed to 1918 then pushed to 1925 and then guess what? They finally stop trying to give it a date and simply said it was coming to an end soon. A Jehovah's Witnesses must have little or no relationships with those not in the church which would explain why a friend of mine who belongs to the church never wants to hang out. He is a good kid who follows everything his mom tells him but sometimes its ridiculous. You would think the umbilical cord was never detached. Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in celebrating birthdays and every holiday like christmas. You will never be allowed to accept a blood transfusion, even if it means saving your life. You would be expected in that case to give up your life and the lives of your children rather than accepting one. And to me the biggest piece of shit any religion believes in which is if you were raped and didn't scream or try to fight they will say it is your fault. Just stop and think for a second how being expose to these dark beliefs at an early age could effect a child even to the point of scaring them and there are cases of that. This concludes also how fear is a powerful religious tool. Save yourselves they say. Well fuck you I don't want to be saved.

Scientology? Man I won't even get started! I prefer the science fiction work of Jules Verne thank you very much. There are many which I won't get into but encourage you to become more knowledgeable about and do the research yourselves on such that I've left out like the Jewish and muslim religion. But the point is aren't all these religion's outrageous? Some more than others but Christianty is not exempt. Less crazy but still bullshit.

I find that the must intolerent people are the religious one. All I ask is for facts, proof of gods existance from any of them and they can't deliever. Human beings have often try to find fulfilness through religion. I say fulfilness can be found without giving it the title or name religion. I also get that things happen through out our lives which make us "find god". I'm not here to try to convert anyone into anything just selling doubt thats all. All the religions sell you certainty that they can't deliver.

I'm not an atheist. Being an atheist is believing that there is no god and I don't think that. I don't think that because I don't have proof, No one does! And thats my point. There is no proof for or against his existance. You try to tell a Christian that & they will almost always retort and offer as an explanation that the world around us is proof enough. That doesn't fly with me Johnny and to those I offer them Darwinism. If not an atheist then what? Some would want to call me an agnostic but in this age of labels I would prefer not to be given one.

"Once you label me you negate me" -Søren Kierkegaard


War, diease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime and corruption. Is all this part of god's plan? Explain to me how the holocaust can fit in god's plan.

I know I might have offended some of you but if I made someone think then its worth it. Those who kept a closed mind I'm glad I offended you. Be rational folks and most importantly think and be truthful to yourselves. It doesn't matter what I think at the end of the day only that your true to yourselves. Then and only then do I think you will come to the same conclusions about religion & the invisible man in the sky that I have.

As I've said with my other blogs I would enjoy feedback from those who have read them and this one is no different. Positive or negetive insight is greatly welcomed. Debates are what I'm hopeful for but an echo would be just as nice.
Thank you and god bless...just fucking with you.
