All praise the Jesus Zombie!!!

 

Spring time is in the air boys and girls.  It’s when little kids go hunting for Easter eggs and we celebrate the signs of the coming spring.  We all get together to compare clothes in a building where we praise the Jesus Zombie.  That’s what I think is the best expression to describe the resurrection of Jesus.  He was the first Zombie, and probably went on to eat the brains of all of his disciples.    

Am I the only one on this planet that thinks that these spring time religious holidays are grossly overrated?  I must, be cause no one seems to see the things that I do, or understand my point of view.  In most of the Western world, we’re celebrating the establishment of a religious institution that alone is responsible for more human rights violations than any other group or organization to come to power in the Western world.  The crimes of most other Nations don’t even compare with those of the Church.  Factor in the Inquisitions, the witch trials, and the suppression of knowledge, and you have one of the most dangerous and tyrannical regimes that we have records of.  Notice I left out the Crusades, I’m still of the mind that the Crusades would have never have happened if the Ottomans didn’t try to force Islam on the West.  The only crusade that I don’t rule out is the one that the Church ran against heretics in the European mainland.  

We are taking time out of our lives to praise a deity that behaves like a sociopath.  Think about it for just a moment, God has great power that he threatens to use against us in the event that we are not loyal and submit our lives to his power.  If we praise him, he’ll reward us with special blessings in life.  If we deny him, he’ll cast us into a fiery pit where we suffer forever.  By his own admission he’s jealous of other deities, and intolerant for the worship practices of others.  He bullies people into obedience and punishes people for transgressions in ways that would make him a genocidal madman.  I would have never nuked a couple of cities because of the rampant practice of homosexuality, I therefore would assume I’m a much more moral being than god is. 

Now I know that this description isn’t significant because there is no god.  God is as real as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.  The only main difference between god and the latter is that the latter is actually capable of becoming a symbol for greater good.  

In this day and age, god is the most dangerous force in the world.  George Carlin said it best when he said, “God is the single most leading cause of death on Earth.”  Think of all the people killed off in wars and political acts inspired by religion.  More people have suffered and died as a direct result from religion than any other reason in human history.  

I’m not going to leave the other faiths alone.  No one is free of blood on their hands.  The World Trade center was not the result of a simple temper tantrum by a bunch of Middle Easterners.  How else in the world can 19 or 20 guys be convinced to commit themselves to learn to hijack and fly jet liners into buildings?  Islam is just as corrupted and bloody as Christianity and the bloodshed coming out of the
Middle East is clear evidence supporting that.  

The three main paths of Abraham, Judaism Christianity and Islam, are at the roots of all the pain and suffering that we see on Earth today.  Political powers use these religions to gain leverage against one another and to coerce ordinary people into complying with their agendas and carrying out their wishes.  Look at the political players across the globe, you’ll find that the religious authorities hold a tremendous amount of political power and influence.  

I know that there are other paths on this planet, but none of them hold a candle to the crimes committed by the god of the big three.  Wipe out those three religions and maybe we’ll get some civility in the world.  What I truly don’t understand is why people keep buying into these ideas.  It’s impossible for me to understand how intelligent and rational people can buy into the idea that a man once walked on water, raised the dead and rose from the dead himself.  It’s easier to believe that maybe he had good ideas for the time but they don’t amount to a pile of shit today.

Jesus said, “If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one as well.”  He also said, “Do not resist one who is evil.”  Is he stupid?  In this day and age if anyone hits me I’m gonna beat the shit out of him.  If we took that attitude on September 12^th 2001, then Osama and his gang would be laughing all the way to
Afghanistan as they planned the next hit. 

These folks who carry on these traditions are breading exponentially while the intelligent people of the world tend to hold back on the reproduction.  The Christians talk about a one world government that will overtake the earth and force people to give up their religious practices in favor of a world where people deny god and live life according to a non-Christian political regime.  Where the fuck are these guys?  I think now is an excellent time for them to come along.  Given how fucked up the world is today I’ll be more than happy to hold the door open for modern religion to see them out of the picture. 

Given my attitude it might not be much longer before that happens, I’ve already heard evangelicals saying that Barak Obama is the anti-Christ since he fits all the criteria.  Which is kind of creepy if you think about it.

Later.
