It’s Time to Send the Religious Bullshit Back into the Churches:

I awoke this morning thinking about a conversation that I had with my son a few weeks ago, and the part about the universe, and how big it is. He told me how grateful he was that I had spent so much time with him and his brothers, teaching them about science and cosmology. He said that when he entered collage as a student of science; that he was already way ahead of most of his fellow classmates – but the one thing that I had failed at in getting him to understand, was just how vast the universe actually is. As I looked into my son’s bright star-struck eye’s he said that it was so damn petty and selfish, just how the religious people believe that their God made all of this, just so that he could put all of us humans, on a tiny speck of it called earth. Then leave us all alone, to fight over each other’s God delusions, and just so he can pick a few of us, to join him in a place called heaven. He then said that after completing the first years of their education, none of his Christian peers were still buying the religious bullshit either. He told me many stories about other students that he knew, and how they had found enlightenment. One such story was of a catholic student, whose religious upbringing nearly caused her to have a mental breakdown, when she realized that everything that she had been told by the church about life and the universe; had all just been a big load of fucking bullshit. And in her 3ed year of study, how she proclaimed herself as an atheist to him – and if I was reading correctly between the lines; I believe he thinks he’s found his soul-mate.


He told me that in most of the secular Europe countries, where he’s both worked and studied, that the kind of religious bullshit that we deal with here is not tolerated. And not tolerated even in Great Britain where the government, even provides partial funding of private religious schools (here in the U.S. we have those ignorant Christians down there in Texas, who are trying to set the teaching curriculum for the rest of the nation). He said that in most of the places that he’s been in Europe, people still have the rights to be just as stupid and ignorant as they please. But those people don’t get to dictate public policies based on their deluded beliefs; and the people there wonder just why, we here in the U.S. have allowed our nation, to be dragged down into a Christian cesspool of ignorance (the Bush years, were our darkest days).

His stories serve both to remind me of just how small minded and petty, ignorant religious people are; and why we as rational people, we must take a stance, and begin fighting to rid all levels of our government of this deluded religious, superstition and nonsense - and then take back our nation as the secular one that our Founding Fathers had intended it to be – lest we become just another nation of ignorant warmongering, and death loving Christian morons. We must stop these petty little small minded ignorant people, who polices are destroying our planet, from having any say in the decisions of our government – be it either at the state or the federal level; this is simply a church/state issue, and a very important one to our own survival. These people don’t care about the state of our planet; to them, this is only the first stop on their way to heaven – I simply want a place where my grandchildren and their future children can live, and live within reality, and the only place where we currently have to live our lives, is our home here on earth.



I don’t know about any of you, but even with all of its other problems, the U.K. sure sound like a much nicer place to live!

Excellent post! Yes, the UK and secular Europe sound pretty damn good at times. But the part of your post that really resonated with me was what you said about taking back America "as the secular one that our Founding Fathers had intended it to be..." The Christian extremist right claims that they are trying to take back America, but their aim is a mythical state that never existed and has nothing to do with America. You've got me thinking about sort of a new "atheism as patriotism" slant. This is hard for me because I've long despised anything to do with patriotism since it usually comes across as nationalism, American exceptionalism, and the "god is on our side" crap. But it doesn't have to be that way.

You have to grade America historically with the other Great Powers. How do we match up with the British (the Opium funded Empire), Russians (c'mon that's a gimmee), or the French (massive colonial wars in Indo-China and Algeria) America doesn't look that bad.
Of course, that doesn't make a good bumper sticker.
Thanks, Vjack. I found my sons attitude towards religious idiocy just amazing. He feels that we need to stop legitimizing their deluded notion, that this ever was a “Christian-nation,” he believes we need to stop bitching about it, and start fighting back with facts, and just as loud as they do. He really managed to change my attitude that the best way of dealing with this Christian lunacy, was by just by responding to their issues – we need to take a more proactive approach i.e.., we need to take back our nation from the Christians, and restore it to what it was 200 years ago (a secular nation) Just a different way of looking at things.

All in all; I believe that his generation is going to gain much more ground in the fight!
Well said and mirrors my feelings about religion here in Australia. We have to take control back now before it gets worse and it isn't that bad here. Yet!!!

I will be saving this one.
Awesome post, my man! You're right, we do need to take our country back. I question the resolve of many atheists to do what is really necessary, however. Most of them seem so consumed with being politically correct and pursuing "safe" agendas rather than just saying, "Fuck it. It's time these assclowns stopped pushing us around! Time to fight back!"

Thanks GodlessMonster, for taking the time to read my actual post. I am not under the delusion that this ever was an Atheist Nation – our founding fathers simply intended that it be a secular one; and religion has no proper place in our government, nor should the government fuck with the rights of those who choose to partake of religion. The point is that the Christians have been changing the history of our nation, by simply lying about the intent of our founding fathers – that bullshit has no proper place in our nation, accept in a house of deluded worship!

In short; let’s stop playing by their rules – it’s time we start fighting them back with the truth.

Political correctness? People who believe that a ghost raped a girl 2000 years ago, and made their fucking savior, who then died but now lives in the sky – fuck them!
