Bad Religion.

In the beginning, God created man and anybody who disagrees is going to burn in hell. God does not like gay marriage, but he has no problem with slavery and sexism. God doesn't like tattoos, but he has no problem at all with human sacrifice. I think it's fair to say that Christianity is a big joke. A big dangerous joke at that. Personally, I believe religion in general is dangerous and if you disagree, I wouldn't have to go far to back that up. The attacks on abortion clinics and 9/11 come to mind quicker than anything else. Trust me when I say that there are more examples of how religion has played a huge role in creating chaos in our day and age. I could easily dissect Islam and the sexism and intolerance it promotes. If I were on television, i'd probably receive death threats tomorrow because of my criticism of Islam. However, I do not think that Islam is the most dangerous religion on the planet. It is however very funny. It's a religion of peace and you cannot mock their god or else. It's a tolerant religion that has no problem with you blowing yourself and countless others up. It actually rewards you for it. Islam is a very bizarre belief, but it isn't the most dangerous one in my opinion. I firmly believe that Christianity is the most dangerous religion on the planet. This is a religion that advocates slavery, sexism, racism, child murder, human sacrifice, homophobia, and outright stupidity. The scary thing is that not only do they believe they are right, but they have the weapons and the power to wipe out anybody who has a different belief. If you don't believe in their god, you're going to hell. If they find out that you don't believe in their god, they will ridicule and demonize you publicly. If one of their not-so-stable christian brothers or sisters find out about your non-belief, they will attack and/or try to kill you. Very tolerant of them, yes? Christians in the United States have done a fantastic job of demonizing muslims, pagans, atheists, agnostics, and any other belief or lack thereof that is not compatible with their belief. They do an even better job playing the victim. Christian rights are always being threatened by someone, especially us atheists. We are always trying to take their beliefs away from them. We understand that we cannot do that because they are dead set in their ways. All we want is for religion to be kept out of our schools, courtrooms, congress, bedrooms, etc. Is that too much to ask? The religious seek to pollute our government more than it already has, gain a tight grip on our education, and enslave the minds of every American citizen. They push their fairytales promoting their deity of choice. Whether it be Allah or God. Both equally bigoted and both have never been seen. I refuse to follow the psychotic teachings of a man who allegedly was the king of all of the Jews. I refuse to follow the words of a deity who punishes the entire world because two people ate one of his prize apples from his favorite tree in the vast wasteland that was the fictitious Garden Of Eden because a talking snake told them to. This is the same God who spoke to Noah and told him to build an ark and gather two of every animal. The story of Noah's Ark is complete nonsense because not only would the ark sink because of the weight, but the animals would tear each other apart. Put a lion in the same room with a goat and you'll get my point. This is the same God that magically impregnated a woman so that she could give birth to his son that would be killed by his own people so he could return to the world as a zombie to be snatched up to the sky to sit next his father in an invisible chair beyond the clouds. Do you see how stupid it is now? I think we can agree that Christianity is very cartoonish. Now here is how it is dangerous. Christianity creeps into every aspect of life. It creeps into the parts of life that it shouldn't. The fact that we have a National Day Of Prayer makes me want to vomit. The fact that we have Christians running our country who wish to turn us into a theocracy disturbs me. Look at what the GOP is trying to do when it comes to rape. Abortion is a sin in their eyes so if they can redefine rape, they will be one step closer to taking away the right women have to get an abortion. Forget about incest. They are throwing that out too. Their belief on abortion goes back to their favorite piece of literature. This is very dangerous. A nation should never attempt to pass legislature based on flawed religious beliefs. There is a quote that goes something like, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the American flag with a cross in its hand." I think we can see fascism coming ashore. It is up to us rational citizens of this nation to fight back against this disgusting act of religious indoctrination and intrusion. We will be looked down upon. Religion has sedated many in this country so prepare to be the minority. Do not expect to open many eyes. Prepare for your family to look down upon your use of your brain. Understand that being called evil by a christian is like being called a killer by a murderer. We must keep theology separate from education, government, and all other public institutions. I will take it even further. I believe we should eradicate religion as a whole. It should be illegal to proselytize in any public setting. It should be illegal to push your religious views on children. It should be illegal promote religion on public airwaves. It's time to sober up America. I think we can do without these things. I think religion ruins our country. I will be called a militant atheist for my beliefs, but that is not a bad thing. I do not wish to kill anybody for believing in a god. I wish to keep it separate from our lives. It should be private. It should not be public. It should not be funded by the government. Period.
