TODAY'S UNKNOWN NEWS

It's religion, stupid

by HappySysiphus, Unknown News

Nov. 30, 2004

The two sides of the current struggle are actually three sides. Secular humanity, Religious humanity, and the grumpy, poorly-potty-trained despots that take advantage of the fact that religious humanity as a matter of course lacks either the logical apparatus or the will to engage in introspection necessary to figure out that no one knows what happens to you when you fucking die.

When people started translating the dusty old bible, the priests got worried because they thought people were going to catch on to the fact that most of the shit they talked about all the time wasn't in there. Much to their boy-diddling glee, they found out that people in general were COMPLETELY incapable of comprehending that which they read, and the few that could were usually too in awe of the beautiful church and the incense thingy and what they saw as God's authority to risk damnation by way of a legitimate accounting of ideas. If some rogue thinker did raise a fuss they were usually easy to kill because everybody already hated them.

And so, a situation persisted in which people believed the priest as if he were speaking with the authority of the almighty big daddy in the sky.

Politicians caught on quick, and even still today you can see cockgobbling bastards talking like preachers to trigger the "Yes Lord" response locked deep down in the lizard brains of the masses of faith.

THIS IS POWERFUL SHIT and it has been backed into a corner like a snarling dog by the progress of science and reason. It is no different for Islam, Judaism or any other belief in big angry men in the sky, or devils, or ghosts.

These people will fight to the last man, trust me. The stakes are unbelievably high. The leaders are fighting to avoid the gallows and the masses are fighting for their afterlives.

In Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Canada, Madagascar, everywhere, secular humanity is there. We know the earth was not created in seven days. We know that nobody filled a big boat with every fucking animal on the planet.

And the people who are still hanging on to the reality of myth, will die before they give in to the idea that they can't control us.
