So this is what it’s like to dislike religion. To sit back and wonder how people can just listen. Just listen and listen. Never question. Yes yes yes. What’s wrong with religion is it’s absolutes. You absolutely must never be unfaithful to you spouse. Never. Live with an endless abusive struggle of depression and alcoholism or neglect until death do you part. Not to condone cheating, but in an absolute sort of way, religion condones abuse and neglect.
What do they call what I am again, humanist? Think for yourself. How many saves would that have on our society if everyone were meant to follow that scripture? Do I really care if Joe and Ed are raising kids next door? Do they do murder? Do they touch the kids? No. They’re normal guys, maybe “plumbers” if you want to get Republican cliche about it. Or do I really see any evidence that recycling saves the planet, or does it all still end up in the same dump at the end of Butterfield Rd.? What do you call this again, existentialism? Maybe. I’m just trying to say, if it makes sense to you, do it. If it makes sense within society’s guidelines and you’re happy, what’s so wrong with it?
Mostly, society’s guidelines are built to protect the human nature from it’s primitive instincts. Don’t kill, don’t be evil, don’t forget to pay your taxes…
It’s the obsession with the trillions of rules set in stone by religions around the world that causes such grandiose world conflict as well as the enormous inner-crises that cause self-destructive madness in otherwise normal workers around the world. . They’re basically messing with every level of human existence. They called the “Age of Religious Dominance” the “Dark Ages” for a reason.
There’s something to the teachings of religion. There’s something to the Ten Commandments that was important enough for us to pass it along generation to generation. But lately, there’s a whole lot of folks reading the ol’ Bible a lot closer than it was meant to be. Ever heard of metaphor you fucking idiots? Holy scripture or not, it’s a book, written by some guys way back when, maybe they were antisocial pricks, the whole thing was a joke and human history after the Old Testament has been one big joke. Or maybe they made just a couple of mistakes in one of the most important and greatest books ever written. To error is human…to listen to everything you’re told and walk and talk like a robot, well, that’s not human, it’s being a fucking robot.
