Religion as Existential Threat

If you are a Christian woman you must accept that men are superior to you. God is a he. God created man in his image. Woman was an afterthought built from spare parts. Don't look at me - that’s what your bible clearly states.

Christianity says God sits in his barcalounger in the sky with his long white beard. He knows everything you are doing, saying, and thinking, because you’re just that interesting.

God sent his only son to earth - except that his son is God and also a ghost. To Christians in the US he was a good looking white guy who looked like a 1960's hippy. Odd since he existed in the middle east 2000 years ago and yet no-one noticed he was the only white guy in the crowd.

Now this "son” was in reality a poor brown immigrant - exactly the sort that most Christians in the US today would try to keep out with a wall.

He died a horrible, grotesque, slow and painful death, so we could feel better about what jerks we are.

He died - then he rose from the dead. Where did he go? Well he became god again, and the holy ghost forever and ever or until he returns again - yea, it gets a little murky here.

Christians you are victims of brainwashing and childhood indoctrination - a form of child abuse. You were force fed a pack of lies, myths, and magic, almost from the moment you could understand language - over and over and over again, until it became a part of who you are. What happened to you is frankly horrible - I see little difference from what happened to you - before you could have any say in it - and what Hitler tried to do with his youth groups.

Well so what? Its my life you say?

Well. Religion is divisive - us/them causing the deaths of millions over the ages.Religion promotes ignorance - It's God's Will.

Religion by its nature is judgmental and stifles original, critical thinking. “There is in every village a torch - the teacher; and an extinguisher - the priest.” Victor Hugo

Religion stands directly in the way of humankind evolving past magic and make believe and getting to a place where we can begin to solve our greatest existential threats - nuclear war, global warming, pandemics.

I think we should add one more threat to our list of our greatest existential threats. Religion itself.

Time to evolve beyond it or I fear we will perish.
