Religious Retardation and You!

I hate religions. I really do. Maybe that makes me an asshole, but I'm fine with that.

Faith is fine. Some people need faith in something or someone to give their lives purpose and direction. Where Faith takes a dark turn is when a faithful person enters into a religious gathering an allows their purpose and direction to be twisted by morons.

Pick your poison. Every religion has a fucking retarded step-child that ruins things for everyone.

Muslims are the easiest to pick on these days because we're post 9/11 and the assholes who crashed into the towers were of the Muslim faith. Can't it just be that these dicks were murdering ass clowns? Why does it matter that they were Muslim?

Don't get on your high horse Christians, because there's a 2 millennium long ass rape going on. Pick your time period and you can be reasonably certain that a Christian was trying to 'teach' some backwards dirt worshiper how to pray to a God they either didn't give a shit about, or didn't believe in. The Crusades, hundreds of 'witch hunts', hell....they even had members of their orders hunting down 'Vampires'. Really? Yes. Really. Never mind when they settled North America they either handed out plague infested blankets, bought land from people with no concept of money or ownership, or just killed Indians. I'm sure that was what God would have wanted after all.

What triggered this rant? Well. I just got an email from a friend who is actually a pretty smart guy. There was a laundry list of people who 'mocked God' and died as a result. I've ranted about this email before, so I'll spare you.

I'll leave you with the first example of God striking down someone who 'mocked' him.

John Lennon, in 1966 was giving an interview with the other Beatles to Rolling Stone magazine in which he claimed that the Beatles are now more popular than Jesus and Christians are just backwards thinking people and the religion is doomed to die out (wishful thinking on his part).

In no way did he mock God, or Jesus for that matter. He just claims that his band is more well known and popular than a guy who died almost 2,000 years ago. I'm sure in the grand scheme of things that God and Jesus give a fuck. But, for the sake of the argument, let's assume they took offense.

In 1980, after 14 years of singing about peace and love, Lennon was shot and killed.

Sad.

But wait! The email goes on to say that this is God's justice.

Really?

For making a stupid comparison that has no physical or mental effect on a supreme being....you die. Wow. God must really love us.

But let's look at those 14 years for a moment. Let's assume, for arguments sake that God was 'mocked' by Lennon's observation. It took him 14 years to exact his revenge? Really? He's a supreme being, the one above us all, a Deity....what the fuck took him so long?

Essentially what I'm being told by these people who forward this stupid fucking email to me is this; I'm a retarded lemming who believes everything my religion shoves down my face and I have no rational thought or care about the topic of this email other than looking down my nose at dead people who just happened to have said something derogatory about God.

Fuck you. And Fuck God too for that matter. There. Now in 50 years when I finally kick the bucket, you assholes can put my name in that email and I can stay infamous forever. Fucking assholes.
