  • After Life?

         Only someone who has belief in an afterlife can dismiss the friendships of another so completely. A person who shares so much in common with another should be a friend for life.

         With belief in an afterlife another chance always awaits for reconciliation with another, so this life becomes unimportant, and friendships that could be had are wasted.

         Despite the overwhelming evidence that this is it, many deep within their psyches still hold to the idea that this can not be the only life. After all, our remarkable sentience makes this unacceptable.

         Nevertheless, this is the case. A person who claims to not believe, really does. This life becomes unimportant. Only the hope of the next life remains. Suicide bombers become possible. Trashing a friendship also becomes possible.

  • Beware the Facade

     

    Nearly all people seem to wear a facade, and when under stress they reveal their true nature. Perhaps they are afraid of who they really are, and its subsequent revealing to others. For whatever reason, even though their true natures are revealed in stressful situations, they arrogantly and steadfastly insist on resuming the mask after the stressful period has passed.

    This is why people in general cannot be trusted. You really don’t know the person and whether they really agree with what you might discuss with them. Many veneers can be used, in an attempt to "get along", and so from person to person a different veneer, or facade is seen. When a person says he knows so and so and another person says, "that person is nothing like that.", it very may have been true at the time each person had met and talked to the person in question.

    Don’t assume knowledge of anyone. The knowledge held may only be of the facade, the false front that is displayed at the time.

    I know someone who has fooled me for over 45 years.

  • Unique

    Every person is unique. Some have close similarities to others, but exhibit nonetheless separate features however small the degree.

    Others, like myself, seem unique to the max.

    Strong opinions, unique mannerisms, thought processes some consider peculiar identify such people.

    Strong differences in these unique people create animosity in those who are nearly alike to each other. Such unique traits cause such people to have fear. There established norms are under attack. No one can be different without facing such scrutiny.

    Even though it means isolation, I would rather be different than a member of the mundane. 

  • Innocent

    I know the feeling of those who are falsely accused of crimes. I have done nothing to deserve the treatment I am receiving. Nothing.

    A callousness that I thought was not possible has been exercised against me. A meanness that is unwarranted.

    Nevertheless, I must prevail, I must stay silent. That’s the only way to deflect, to turn the effects back to their origins.

    These people that I have known all my life have exhibited inhuman qualities of which I thought them incapable. I misjudged them, I thought them good and decent people. I guess I was wrong.

    They exhibit the same qualities of my fathers linage, whose family never reunited, and indeed seemed to loathe each other.

    I have to conclude that I alone, retain my sanity. These people are dangerous quantities, who could harm my family if I allow it.

    I suppose it is for the best that their insane nature limits them from making contact.

  • Isolation Difficult

    Isolation imposed by the hypocrites around me is a burden that is difficult to manage. Adjusting is taxing, but occurring. Slowly but surely, as I realize who and what is really at the root cause of this dilemma, I see it is for the best. It is better to be starkly alone than to kneel down and believe in a myth just to get along. Even to pretend, and at this point that is all that could happen, would be an abandonment of principle.

    Most cannot accept the truth that I have found. Even if I didn’t believe it true, it would still be so. It is a truth discovered, not fabricated as the Bible was created. It doesn’t matter what people believe, the truth endures.

    There are no Gods, of any kind. I refuse to say there are just to be part of a crowd.

    Why are people so immature that they need a God to comfort them, to delude them into believing they will never die. Don’t they have the courage to face death?  I accept death, for before I was born, I was nothing, and when I am gone, I will once again be nothing. This is the reality everyone faces.

    Some like to believe in a fairy tale to mask their fear.

  • Dark Ages

     

    Christianity ruled the world and worked to destroy all opposition to its directives. This included anything that contradicted it’s interpretation of the Bible. Science found that the Earth orbits the Sun, not the other way around as taught in the Christian directives. So a war was conducted on Science and knowledge in general. This produced the era known as the Dark Ages. Libraries were destroyed, eminent scientists were forced into seclusion or killed. This set humanity back hundreds of years.

    No doubt today we would have cures for nearly all of humanities illnesses if not for the Christian church. Flying cars, bases on the moon and Mars might have been a possibility by now as well. Who can know the advances we might have today if not for the ignorance proliferating even today promulgated by persistent allegiance to a dark ages product: The Bible.

  • Anger at God?

     

    Christians usually ask "Why are you angry at God" when a person rejects religion. This question asserts that there is a God to get angry with. It is a refusal to accept that a person can truly believe that there are no entities in charge of the world.

    I have rejected not only the Christian religions but all religions. Not only do I believe there are no gods, there is in reality, no gods.

    Furthermore, they are right when they assert that I am angry. The object of my anger is what they are mistaken about.

    I am angry for the lies, the deceits, of fellow humans who perpetuate these myths, causing people misery and anguish. They promote belief in something no more real than Santa Claus. This belief system has, however, caused turmoil violence, and unhappiness everywhere it is held. It teaches people to reject their families as well as all others who do not likewise believe. It teaches that there is nothing in this life of value or importance, except the perpetuation of their belief system. It teaches that death is more important than life. It promotes the destruction of humanity as a good thing.

    I am angry, but not with any god. I am angry with those gullible humans who have bought into this false reality. I believe that no one who believes in this myth should hold public office, as they are dangerous and may work to bring the end of humanity.

    Examine the morals in the biblical text. You will find that though some are commendable, many teach destructive,  anti-human beliefs. Morals exist independent of God, and can be deduced from rational reasoning platforms.

    Think about it! If a person examines the Constitution of the United States they will find guarantees within, rights, that were never granted by the Christian belief systems. Yes, the Constitution is more moral than the Bible. Indeed, if Christianity ever gains control of the United States government, the first thing to go will be the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Alarmist? Not a bit!
