Is it just me or is there really alot of Atheist about these days. Not just out, but outspoken and taking no religious bullshit. I for one agree, agree that its well over due for religion to get what it has deserved for a longtime, that would be a swift kick in the balls and smack over the head with reality.
Of all the time since I realized that something was amiss with the world and that I saw through mega-religion like it was an open window, I now feel that expressing distain for dogmatic delusions has come and needs to be brought all the way to the forefront of social consciouness.
Religion has had its time and is running its course to an immediate halt. It has, continues to do I will add, far more harm to modern society then it has contributed to. It has taken more then it has ever given, at the helm of this reverse Robinhood is hypocites like Dobson, Hagee, Perkins and Robertson to name just a few. Least we forget those wonderful Politicians whom share the same mental delusion as those shaman mentioned above that perpetuate global chaos on an unpresidented scale. As it is, one always seems to get worse right before they break their fever and that is what is happening now.
As we non-theist, as well as those who are tired of the dogmatic brain fuck and twisted manipulations of religious idiocracy, come to light and expose religion for what it really is. What it really is, is a waste of time and resorces. Not to forget that the three major religions have the same agenda, which does not include the other. Each one believes that their faith is to be the religion of the world, Chistiandom wants to convert Muslims and Islam wants everyone to accept their religion or die. Where as Judeism takes the Political route to their goals....Its all a sick and worldly destructive gave of "My religion can beat up your religion" and the cost, if this is left unresisted, is lives.
Relgious Dogma truely does halt progress. Progess is the one thing that relgious zealots fear more then anything, why is this? We all benefit from the progress made by Scientist, no one is left out. It is as though they are trying to cut their own throats with a dull knife, they can never succeed but they will nons-the-less scare theirselves permanitly trying and bleed quite a bit too. They, the "relgious", know deep down that their belief system is a shame and that the likelyhood of their being an invisible man in the sky, a rapture or a second coming is a farse. But like a crack addict hooked on the junk, they can not let it go, even though they know it is wrong and has no rewarding benefits. Both Crack addicts and religious worshippers experience the samething, a temporary high.
The best thing a person a do it accept the fact that they are no immortal. They must addmit to their own mortality in an honest way and not in a superstitious, dogmatic, unrealistic delusion. Once one comes to the reality of the fact that they only have 30,000 days on this planet with one shot, they will not spend their lives waiting to get to a place that does not exist, but they will cherish everyday even more so.
I can, without hesitation, say that there is no heaven/god waiting to codeem us to hell or accept us into heaven. How can I say this? Because there is no proof to support those claims, I as an Atheist do NOT have to disproof that there are no such things because there is no evidence to disproof. Ambiguity and Faith are not worthy of believing in the invisible and none existent, Faith is not proof at all.
A planet that is inhabited by a population of delusional beings is not a good thing. Try to imagine this planet with most of its residence being crack smokers, that is how bad it is with religion and the effects of this are obvious. Some tell me that their moderation of religion is harmless, but they do not do anything to combat the fundamentalism that has poisoned their faith and turned it into an excuse for making eveyone else who have to share this world, miserable. As I read in a Sam Harris article; Think of it like this. You plan a trip to Disneyland, you look forward to all year and when you finally get there, they entire park is over run with inconsiderate people who hold up lines at rides and have trashed the place. Which has ruined your entire trip and made it very unpleasant for you.
We all have a right to enjoy this experience called life and we all should show each other the consideration to allow everyone to enjoy it. No one has the right to take this experience and ruin it for others or intervene in others happiness. To say the least, that is exactly what religion is doing, Taking and not giving.
I long for hope that religion will come to pass and humankind will look back and say "What the hell was that all about.?" We have made ground, of all the deities still in service today there are only a small few left. Once society sees, as it has began to do, religion as it really is it will throw it overboard and leave it drowned. Religion is a burden to the world and allowing to drag everyone down with it is not acceptable.
