… and God Told Man: “Dont Leave, I Need You Around”

May 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment

"Please Love Me, I'm Bored"

The connection between god and men is a strange and puzzling, why would the supreme creator of everything obsessively ask and demand respect from its creatures, as well as monitor their every move, in the kitchen, in the streets and in the bedrooms?

It seems to me that its has something to do with the evolution of man-made gods, or actually with the development of the idea of god itself. In the ancient times  there were many gods, and people followed the ones they liked, like twitter – only for gods instead of people. They needed to show their love to their gods if they wanted any help, which made sense to them at the time due to the very human nature of gods. So gods were angry and jealous, they were fearful or greedy, they were like men, and if you wanted them on your side you needed to play nice.

The Greeks took it a step forward, not only improving the myth around gods but putting order to the whole thing, arranging a wide range of personal gods under the same discipline, which meant that you had less a chance to offend anyone by following a certain god, since they were all now cooperated. The Romans followed, keeping all along the idea that gods are like humans, only stronger, and that they have needs just like any of us. In fact they needed humans to worship them in order to keep their powers, they needed people to believe in them.

And then the almighty one god appeared, shaking off all the semi gods on the way, but retaining the idea that god needs people to be a god, and that it needs constant attnetion and praise, even though it is a perfect being, still needs attention… shame really.

God is so painfully man made, and so evidently flawed, that only the ones that are stuck in the dogma fail to see the light of truth, if you are a believer you are in a room without windows, believing that you are in a constant night, and you keep being nice to something that needs you to be nice – now that can not be godly.

Please, we have burning issues all around us, from politicians who sell us to corporates to poverty and hunger on a monstrous scale, that we need to focus on now and on the real priorities of our race, investing one second on something that is not there and never was there is preventing us from dealing with the real, terrifying, issues.

Thou Shall Have Free Speech!

May 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment

“…and on the first minute of the first hour of the first day, god created free speech and made man so he could think and express his thoughts freely, without fear of injury or assault, for his words are an expression of his mind, and if found offensive to the ears of the listener that listener could then reply and reject the thoughts of the free speaker, as well as just walk away from there”

Now the fact that its in quotation does not mean I found it anywhere, but isn’t it bluntly obvious that if anyone created human beings and their minds that this creator would like those little people to speak their mind and not keep it locked inside for fear of danger?

Almost all religions want to limit free speech, now we got governments joining in with great enthusiasm to tax the internet and to limit its users on the content they create and the thoughts that they describe. So now that all the proper authorities are aligned with creating things to tax, like the carbon tax and soon to come the internet taxation free speech will be limited and controlled, and of course will increase the ever growing flow of money to the governments and will continue naturally to the banks so they can cover the loses they take for managing working people money.

If a roman citizen from 100BC would have moved in to contemporary 2011 U.S. or Europe he would be amazed at the taxes people have ideas for, but he will also be amazed at how, without the clear show of aggression and brutality, people in power silence anyone who does not keep quite and speaks his or her mind, now that’s progress. Let us imagine a visit to London of 2950 in the future, where people are taxed for touching flowers and trees, because of the potential harm it might cause the plant in the process of photosynthesis, visits to governmental (or bank) owned lands in the countryside will be taxed for use of higher quality air and the global leader (world government, not easy to forget that one) can increase taxation on warmer or cooler regions of the planet.

And no one shall speak against it, for it is not only a sin to doubt the global leader but to raise suspicion and fear in the minds of the subdued and obedient citizens of the world.

Reject religions and anyone who tells you that you can not or should not challenge anything, doubt everything and be skeptic of anyone, do not conform to the moral standards of (the not-so-pious)  religious leaders. If you really love whatever it was that made you, the first thing you can do is to speak your mind and use your mouth.

Can Pigs Really Fly?

February 23, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Oh my, there is something god does not want me to eat on the plane

No. Seriously.

Upset becuase there is pork on the menu? when you’re flying to Europe? should we assume that any place serving any form of pork is considered offensive?

I would have thought that they would be happy and proud to be treated just like anyone else, if you want pork you can eat pork, if not – no problem.

Go to Huffington Post for the story

If God Hates Jews, Gays, Non Christians Etc. – Why Did He Make Them?

February 22, 2011 by 1 Comment

Following up on Ricky Gervais “Thanks God for making me an atheist”, is a PR from the courageous bunch at we are anonymous calling out to the deranged people of the Westboro Baptist Church to stop their common practice of hate mongering and stupidity. Here it is –

We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS – the Voice of Free Speech & the Advocate of the People – have long heard you issue your venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism. We have always regarded you and your ilk as an assembly of graceless sociopaths and maniacal chauvinists & religious zealots, however benign, who act out for the sake of attention & in the name of religion.

Shame they use kids for this

If you do not know (or found out in the meanwhile) these (crazy ass good baptist Christians) feel the need to explain to the world that their god simply made a mistake by creating millions of Jews, people with non traditional sexual orientations and believers of other religions, and that this god was too late to understand what was going on before the world filled up with those faulty designs of his (well… nobody’s perfect, right?) that he is getting very, very angry when he spots them and therefore it is the duty of violent, ignorant and crazy ass good baptist Christians to help god out on this one and try to rid the world of those creatures god created (by mistake). You should also note that god hates, just like you and me, or like every human being, he probably does not hate during lunch or dinner, or when he plays “angry birds” on the toilette, but nonetheless – he really does hate.

the urge to petition this duty is so strong that these people can not restrain themselves and even go to graveyards where dead soldiers are being laid to their final resting place to protest it, even though they know that Jesus would probably have done differently (if he was around, real or simply alive).

Sister “Internet” Is a Fine Example

February 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment

This next piece of news is pretty surprising, but when you think about it again, its not that surprising at all

Sister Maria was apparently asked to leave the religious order where she has resided in seclusion for 35 years because she spent too much time on the website, it has been reported.

This is one friendly sister… and one old religion that is admirably holding back on progress (lets not assume that Facebook is actually progress). But seriously, this is one of the main points of all the three main religions, not allowing anything new in, at least not until its dead or has been around long enough for believers to use it themselves because they know there is nothing wrong with it.

As many say, imagine that Islam will have its way… no new Radiohead album, no internet (absolutly no internet) TV will probably be kept for praising God or the leader or the self annoyted king, no books or art, and lots of dirty old work for 99% of the population who were not lucky enough to be related to the ones in power.

I hope this sister understands that progress is contrary to religion, maybe once she is past that she could really start investing time in what she really loves to do, not other things.

Sister "internet" in action, Oh Lord!
