The man or woman up front has been trained in how to fleece the flock. They are called pastors, preachers, reverends, or priests. They carefully ply their craft planting seeds (mental viruses) within the thoughts of those who have come to praise. Guilt is a plentiful commodity and each person present receives a hefty helping.…

Humanity is presently on a course to extinguish itself in the same way bacteria in a petri dish proliferate and die in their own poisons. This inevitable scenario was constructed by evolution. Humans like to deny that evolution created all living things. The evidence that it is so is all around and plain to see.…

Schadenfreude is a German term that translates “malicious joy”. The malicious joy is taken by one over the miseries suffered by another. It is another example of the human capacity to be cruel. This past week there was a lot of Schadenfreude expressed in the Senate. The GOP was carrying out their dream of initiating…

The more I am exposed to the society of humanity, the less I like humanity and the less I enjoy life. People speak what they are really thinking on Facebook. It is not a pretty sight. They use expletives, judge other people, condemn other people, figuratively hang other people, and otherwise demonstrate their lack of…

The main reason as I see it is that religion is everywhere and the religious proselytize it constantly. I have been told by Christians that their moldy tome exhorts them to spread the word of their faith. Whenever you see a public meeting starting with prayer, they are proselytizing. Whenever you see someone praying in…

I simply must post about a recent incident, one which typifies my difficulty in dealing with humans. I will tie this post in with how silly Christianity, or any religion, appears in relation to it. Upon taking a trip to a nearby town, Bucyrus, on a street where Wendy’s is located, I pulled up to…

Quietly, indiscreetly, they move into neighborhoods, cities, and congregate in areas. They propagate… that is why they have come. The numbers increase yearly. Soon they are the majority in an area. They think a majority matters… in the same way many Americans think a majority matters… they intend to use that majority to make everyone…

Religion promotes the spread of ignorance. It provides an avenue for the spread of concepts that go against the acquisition and denigrate the value of knowledge. Specifically it rails against knowledge accumulated and extracted by human intellect and favors that written in religious texts. It is therefore my charge that should humanity become extinct, the…

A role model should be good, moral, and just. Followers of a god should expect their god to be the same. Fair, just, and good. What did your god do during the Holocaust? The Jewish god watched. Nothing was done to save the millions of Jews gassed by Hitler’s minions. Advertised as omnipresent, omniscient, omni-benevolent,…

Many scientists consider god an unnecessary hypothesis for explaining our existence. It is my claim that, far from being only an unnecessary hypothesis, god and religion are dangerous hypotheses. Religion has held back the advancement of humanity for many thousands of years. Who knows what affliction we might have eradicated by now. Who can fathom…
