Religion

Certainly one of the most dangerous and oppressive forces in the world today is religion. There are few realms of human activity with a bloodier past, or a fiercer opposition to the truth.

Virtually all organized religions participate in, support, encourage, and sanctify the practice of killing those other people in the name of the local God-State. Sometimes they try to mask or obscure their support for the killling, by asking you to "support our boys over there", but they never seem to worry too much about the other boys and girls being murdered by our heros for the crime of living in their own countries.

For each imaginary bearded sky daddy, there are millions or billions of morons just waiting for a chance to rip the arms and legs off the dead corpses of the evil beings that believe in some other imaginary bearded sky daddy.

And each time some blithering idiot kills another moron in the name of his favorite imaginary bearded sky daddy, he raises the level of stupidity in his actions by blaming the victims for not believing in the same imaginary bearded sky daddy.

Our house is a Jeebus Free Zone, and it is going to stay that way too. While people suffering from the mass-hysterical belief in some sky daddy are still welcome to visit, no stupid talk will be allowed!

Church and State

Pick a country, any country, and there is some stupid religion practiced there that supports the local government. It does not matter how many people the government tortures, enslaves, imprisons, or murders — the local religion always supports the local oppressors.

It's those other people that are not like us, that believe in that awful imaginary bearded sky daddy that is not the same as ours, they are the ones that are bad.

The Church lays the groundwork of intolerance by differentiating between us and them, then the State rakes in the dollars for the Corporations by conducting wars that require billions of dollars worth of armaments.

" And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 
  'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow 
  Thine enemies to tiny bits.  In Thy mercy.'"
