Carl Sagan - A thousand years of darkness
If you ever want to know the greatest tragedy that religion has ever perpetrated, then watch this.
George Carlin - Religion is bullshit.
Rest in peace George. You were good for both a laugh and an eye opening. His death has left a huge void in comedy as few have either the guts or the skill to entertain and educate.
Reincarnation is Death Disguised
Although death unlike terrorism is inevitable, they both bring out the very base of animal self preservation instinct in us. Fear and anger are both very powerful motivators and can cause us to act in a way that is counter to the genetic program that arose to help protect us. Strong emotions and motivators are used by others to make people fall in line and give up their money by the worst amongst us.
The majority of people fall for the whole heaven shtick, but for those of you who find that whole thing too far fetched fear not we have a religion tailored just for you. Maybe Buddhism, Hinduism or Taoism are more your cup of tea. The problem though is what makes you you. Would you still be who you are without your memories, experiences or relationships? Personally I would have to say no. To lose these thing is if not exactly the same it is sure as hell similar to death. So how is it any better?
Heaven on the other hand is described to us as a magic happy land where all your dreams come true and you get to party with Jesus forever. How can heaven be heaven without everyone you care about? Does god make facsimiles? If so then God is a fraud and liar. Are you so full of joy and happiness that you forget your wife and kids? Or do you get to look down and watch over them? Sounds like a hell to me.
Poetry
Vati-trash-can
To list the gods from a to z,
Would take almost eternity.
Man’s madness for the supernatural,
Is anything but true and factual.
Super daddy we create,
To punish those who masturbate.
To murder is a horrid sin,
Unless we’re at war and we need to win.
Do not think, submit and kneel,
And just like sheep, content you’ll feel.
Give us your money and we’ll stow it away.
We’ll rail against science and those who are gay.
We tell you how to live, and what happens when you die.
Obey us, Obey us or in hell you will fry.
Heaven awaits for those who will follow,
Odd myths of the past, so foolish and hollow.
Now why is it that most believe.
That once a virgin did conceive.
A messiah of a myth we’d heard before,
In mythras Apollo and many more.
He walked on the water,
He raised up the dead.
Turned their water to wine,
Gave them fishes and bread.
He was nailed to a cross,
For the things that he said.
Spent 3 days in a cave,
Then rose from the dead.
To many it’s real,
But to many it’s crap.
A fairy tale story,
For some dumb stupid saps.
Can’t you see how they use it,
To control what you do.
To beat up on the faggot,
Or murder the jew.
This is the truth,
People are afraid to die,
So you fill their up their heads,
With distortions and lies.
To take their money and steal their lives.
