The Abstraction

Around the year of Muhammad’s birth, the Arabians within the central penninsula were actively resisting the Byzantines and the Persians, and in fact organised religion and empire in general. They did not however, escape the pull and the “meaning” that comes with abstract concepts invented by humanity, plaguing the West at the time. The Arabians instead practiced the concept of “Muruwwah”. This idea stressed the importance of courage and patience, endurance and honour. It kept the tribes going. It was a concept that penetrated every aspect of their lives. They were taught that society would fall apart without it. And yet, when logic prevails, Muruwwah doesn’t actually exist. It’s a subjective man made concept.

Man has always confined itself to abstractions. The problem with abstractions, and in particular abstract philosophies and concepts, is that whilst they attempt to provide dogmatic objectivity, they are by nature, massively subjective.

Humans have always placed an unattainable goal ahead of us, a goal that throughout our lives sucks up our hopes, our desires, our dreams, our human decency, like a sponge. The concept of Heaven, which is largely derived from the concept of an eternal World of Plato and other Greeks, tells us that this life is going to be a bit of a disappointment, but your dreams are going to come true in Heaven. Heaven acts as a sponge for positivity whilst the World we live in is a reflection of negativity. There is no Capitalism in heaven. There is no poverty in heaven. There is no climate change in heaven. And yet, the majority of us do not care to see our fantasy of a Heavenly World reflected on Earth. Why is that? Heaven is a man made fantasy ideal, and yet we place it in a box labelled “other“.

The Nation State is a product of colonialism. The Europeans carved up Africa into Nation States as a way of control. We could control the labour force, we could control slavery, we could control information, we could control the movement of capital. Nation borders are meaningless. They always have been. They are meaningless, because they exist in the collective mind of humanity only. The Nation State did not exist before humanity, it did not exist for the majority of the time humanity has been on the planet, it will not exist after humanity, and it does not exist to anything else other than humanity. And so therefore, it is meaningless, because it doesn’t exist. Like organised religion, the Nation State was used as a method of control by humanity over humanity.

As Capitalism took hold, Nation States no longer had the control over labour, slavery and capital that they once had. Nation States are entirely at odds with Capitalism. In fact, Nation States only really work when an economy is entirely protectionist, and Empires exist. Nation States were never about race, or identity, or culture, or anything of the sort. They have always been about control. Control previously lay at the feet of the Monarch. The State, was the Monarchy. Man and State were the same thing.
Israeli historian Martin Van Creveld says:

“What made the state unique was that it replaced the ruler with an abstract, anonymous, mechanism.”

Nationalism by logic then, is less than 500 years old. Racism grew with colonialism, and whilst the cancer of racism has largely been destroyed, remnants still remain and people are still quite unapologetically racist, with no actual reasons for their racism. Nationalism is an “other”. It is something we think is larger than ourselves, it is largely pathological because before human beings, and after human beings, England will not exist. A land mass that we once inhabited will exist. But England, and it’s abstractions that work simply to disassociate ourselves with the rest of humanity in the same way as Christianity and Islam and America and Pakistan and sexuality does.

Corporations today have more rules, more regulations, more limits on information, labour and capital than any Nation has. Corporations and their laws are just as abstract and nonsensical as Nation States. Corporations are the modern day Nation States. You all look a certain way, talk a certain way, waste your life trying to obtain this subjective and abstract concept of “success”. We are now governed by Capitalism or a form thereof. It tells us if we work hard enough, we can achieve anything we wish. But that simply isn’t true. Capitalism is the dome that we are living under, and it’s promise of ‘everything’ is in the same box as Heaven…. “other”. It is religion.

Catholicism, Protestantism, Capitalism, Democracy, Fascism, Communism, Materialism; they are do not exist. They are ideals that soak up hopes and dreams and say “YOU CAN HAVE THEM IF YOU……. work hard enough/are white/keep buying shit you don’t need/own nothing because the State owns it for your benefit………. but eventually you’ll be the perfect happiness.” They are the “other“. The concept of Heaven is very similar. The concept of Plato’s eternal realm is very similar. Abstractions that don’t actually exist in anything other than man’s mind, are used to control man. The men who create these concepts have created them for the purpose of control. Feudalism was a system of control. Capitalism is not much different. There are still Lords who suck up the majority of the wealth at the behest of the many. The U.S Constitution protects a certain class of person. The USSR protected a certain class of person. Whether or not it was designed with that specific goal in mind is debatable, but perhaps subconsciously a certain class of people always assume they are best placed to rule.

The Catholic Church was set up to spread the word of Jesus, yet ended up being perhaps one of the wealthiest institutions on the planet. In the 16th Century, instead of helping the poor that Christianity swears to do, the Catholic Church took money off of the poor, to finance St Peters. They found ridiculous ways to justify the selling of indulgences because the abstract concept they were attempting to spread, which they had inevitably corrupted, demanded obedience, even though the entire doctrine was based on conjecture, dodgy history and man made abstractions.

Catholicism created a culture of idol worship with the creation of Saints. We in the modern era have took that idol worship that the Bible strictly forbids, and our new idols are National pride, pop stars, sports stars, TV presenters, authors. They are also in the realm of “other“. Their public success is largely fatuous, worthless, and offers very little in the sense of the progress of humanity, but they’re worshipped as idols. We salute a flag that we invented, We wear the clothes that the stars wear, we recite their words, we want our bodies to look like theirs, we concentrate far too much energy on being like them, than being like ourselves. Why is that? Is that natural? Perhaps so. Humans have always created an abstraction that we place above ourselves, perhaps because we cannot cope with the notion that we as a species are the height of intelligence. And yet, we are. We created God. We created Nations. We created all other abstractions, the very same abstractions that today hold us all back and group us together into ridiculous categories.

To break away from these abstractions, and concentrate on reality, is in a sense Anarchism. Libertarianism evolves from the idea that we must break away from abstractions, and whilst I think Libertarianism goes too far to the right, I understand it’s principles. But then Anarchism itself, is dogmatic, and an abstraction……and…………… ARGGGH!!!! I don’t know how to end this blog.

We’re all Sisyphus

“The meaningless absurdity of life is the only incontestable knowledge accessible to man.”
Leo Tolstoy

Please excuse me whilst I try – in a particularly weak fashion – to define what I consider to be the meaning of life.

It is entirely pointless. That is the meaning of life. The universe itself is chaotic, without order, it is neither moral nor immoral, happy nor sad, just nor unjust, it simply…is. It is devoid of point, or meaning, or direction, because all of those concepts are man made abstractions that ultimately do not exist without man. To apply the abstractions of man, to the cosmos, is deeply flawed.

I’m not sure how anyone could define a purpose to existence; there can never be a definition. Language itself is far too limited. It is limited to human experience. It cannot transcend human experience, and so any concept (such as ‘meaning’ or ‘purpose’) cannot be an objective reality in itself, it is a man-made version of reality. ‘Meaning’ is a concept, that we have created. ‘Meaning’ and ‘perfection‘ and ‘success’ and ‘right‘ and ‘wrong‘ among every other concept we know of, has not been given to us, it did not exist before humanity; we invented it. Their definitions, are ultimately meaningless and absurd.

You’re born, and then you lose yourself. For that very short period, as a baby, you see the World as it really is. You have that sense of wonder, and that sense of unknowing. You do not know happiness, or disappointment, or shame, or anger, or joy, or love, or any other form of emotional response. You do not know what a rainbow is, or why water that you see coming out of the taps, is now falling from the sky. You do not know what clouds are, or the twinkling dots illuminating the night. You’re completely at one with the World because the concept of meaning does not exist to you, much like it doesn’t exist to reality. Your World is chaotic and unrecognisable, no one has attempted to explain it or define it in their own subjective way to you, you haven’t been brainwashed by advertising, your soul hasn’t been sold to Corporations yet. You do not even understand what a flower is (although, I’d argue that a baby looking at a flower for the first time, knows what it is far better than you and I), all you see is a mix of beautiful colours and elegant parts that make up the flower, no word has been taught to you to sum up what you’re looking at. You see the beauty as it’s supposed to be seen, untouched by language and experience. You see the World as it is meant to be; very very chaotic. The meaning of life, the purpose, the nature of being; dies when we’re a child and the human concept of ‘understanding‘ takes over. But it isn’t real understanding, it is our own version of understanding, that just isn’t logical. It is almost as if we have created a halfway point between reality, and our own special little dream World, to try to make sense of something that cannot be made sense out of.

Oddly, after childhood, after knowing just how meaningless the World is, ‘understanding‘ becomes a life long search for meaning, that you can never ever discover. You try and convince yourself that you have a place and a purpose, and you don’t. You’re just as meaningless as everything else. Plato tried to explain this search, as being the search for the ultimate perfection; that we have a concept of perfect in which to compare aspects of life, suggests that the perfect version of that particular aspect must exist, in what Plato deemed the “World of forms“, in other words….heaven. It was a way to explain something that didn’t need explaining. Perfection, as with “meaning” is a man made concept. We have created a definition for a meaningless word, searching for answers in a World that has absolutely no answers, and so we invent them. This isn’t a bad thing. It gives man and woman freedom to frame the World for ourselves without unnecessary ‘forces’ or reliance on dogma. God, for example. Plato, (and Religion thereafter – so, in fact, humanity) appears to try to create order within Chaos with the creation of heaven. It is the ultimate in perfection, it is the ultimate in justice, it is the ultimate ultimate. There is nothing greater, it has meaning. The man made creation of Heaven is almost an admission by those whom accept it, that this life has absolutely no meaning, or order, or rationale and so is in fact utterly absurd. It is an admission, because it is based on belief. A crossing of the fingers, and just hoping for it to be true. But then they must accept, that God created an absurd World, an amoral World – which means that God is not a perfect, all loving God.

People often say “you make your own destiny“, which is partly true, but hugely false. We live in a structure. Rules are placed before us from an early age; we’re educated to “fit in” as good little unquestioning citizens. We are increasingly taught that money is everything. We did not have a choice. We weren’t consulted. We have been moulded a certain way by society. Of course it is true that you are (almost) utterly free to be whatever you so wish. If you want to be a baker, you can be, if you want to be a drug addict, you can be; you are no more or less important if you’re the son of a rich business man than if you’re a prostitute. However, your actual freedom, your reality based freedom, your freedom that transcends economics is only possible if you reject all what you have been told, and start again, with a mind that is free from preconceptions and manipulations. Given that we exist on a framework, it is supremely difficult to break free from that framework. Rene Descartes tried it, but ultimately failed. Apparently the Renaissance artist Leonardo, despised education because it taught second hand experience, and so he searched to understand life, for himself, and some would say he succeeded, given that he’s the most famous artist of all time. But ultimately, human life, and it’s fictitious constructed reality exists in a tiny box, on an endless shore.

So in fact, we have two options in front of us. Firstly, we could refuse to accept that we only really transcend the confines of the barriers of humanity when we’re a new born child and go about our lives searching for a meaning that simply doesn’t actually exist. Or, we could accept that we live in a World full of absurdities and inexplicable chaos and create our own version of that man made concept of “the meaning of life” for ourselves as individuals. If we choose the second option, we then have two further choices. We can create our own meaning, safely and securely within societies rules and limits (again, man made, not natural) but accept that we’re never truly free and never truly in control of our own destinies which become controlled by the need to be rational in a space full of irrationality; or we can become the outcast, setting our own rules and our own limits and never accepting what we’re told as objective truth without first analysing the World for ourselves and breaking free from the chains of humanity; the rest is just a futile game.

I’d conclude that you and I can only possibly be free, when we accept, quite morbidly albeit, that we have no meaning whatsoever. Once we accept it, we can mould our own ‘meaning’ out of the reality. And that, is beautiful.

The Church of Me

“I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.” – Thomas Jefferson

I’ve always wondered where the line between inventive cult nonsense, and respectful religion is crossed. If I were to say I believed in a talking prophetic snake that lives in a cave on Saturn, i’d be told i’m crazy. Yet, a story in which a man is born to a woman who has never even so much as had sex, lives a miracle filled life, dies, raises from the dead like a zombie messiah, walks around for a while, and then ascends into Heaven, is highly respected, and actually has political influence, purely because billions of people believe in it? A factitious God of an old Testament that appears to resemble tyrannical dictators throughout history, filled with gratuitous hate, than a loving God; but it must be respected? Why? It is illogical to be disrespectful to another human being based on their sexuality or their race or their gender, something they have no control over, however their religious belief is simply a concept, an idea, ideas do not demand respect inherently.

Religious indoctrination, is somewhat unnerving and in my humble opinion, impossibly detrimental to the workings of society and the relationships we form. Homosexuality is looked down upon for no justifiable reason; kids are made to say prayer in school without actually given the choice of what they want to believe; non-believers are condemned to hell regardless of great humanitarian works they may undertake; candidates for President have their religious beliefs tested before facing election; Gospels that contradict each other, leave out important parts of the Story (Jesus virgin birth is only mentioned in two gospels); the wars it causes, the lies it thrives on, the terrible acts people have taken in it’s name. It’s all so wrong.

It amazes me that the line between absolute nonsense and respectful religion is not crossed because there is any sort of empirical evidence, but crossed simply because more people chose to believe it. Some of those, will regard anyone who dares to question them, impertinent heathens destined for hell. The restrictions the system of what it’s followers deem to be universal God-given facts, places on the World have not improved the World. It hasn’t made the World a safe haven. We’re not peaceful, we’re not safe, we’re at the most dangerous point in history. Religious dogma and the intolerance it lives off to feed it’s outdated traditions, is living in the middle ages.

For me, spirituality is an inward manifestation of insecurities, imperfections and a deep desire for guidance. I myself, rely on the Tao Te Ching when my own personal insecurities demand guidance and reassurance that my philosophical and sociological thoughts and opinions are both logical and respectful. Spirituality is not something to be forced onto society as a whole. I would not dream of telling people that they either conform to my way, or be damned. I do not condemn Christians, they are entitled to believe as they wish. I merely condemn the need to force religion onto others, through political process and the education system.

I cannot prove that there is no God. Nobody has that authority. But similarly, I cannot prove that there is a God. I am simply against mass indoctrination based on superstition and out dated tradition. You and I have equally unknowing minds, whether you’re a preacher or an expert in Biblical studies or an Atheist. You have no deeper understanding of the workings of the Universe than I do. You are not an expert.

It is my general belief, my own deeply held Philosophy that you should act always according to the maxim, that you do to others that which you have problem having done to you. If you wish to sleep around, fine. If you wish to be straight or gay or a transsexual, fine. If you wish to do drugs, fine. If you wish to drink, fine. It is your decision. As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, there is no problem. As long as you’re friendly, polite, and well intentioned, then nothing else matters. A bigoted, supremely prejudice myth based God certainly doesn’t matter.

Of course the Story of Jesus, and what he wants and expects, has been hijacked by the Right Wing, for it’s “freedom” agenda, which apparently doesn’t take into account the fact that the wealthy preachers, Popes and ministers are as unlikely to get into their heaven as an agnostic such as myself is. I may be a bit controversial here, but judging by Jesus’ standards, i’d say he’d be condemned as a Socialist by today’s standards. Otherwise those lepers would have had to produced their insurance documents before being cured. The bread and the fish would have been distributed to the hardest working, or those who were the sons of the hardest working. Acts 2:44-45 reads like a section of a Socialist manifesto: “All that believed were together, and had all things in common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” He certainly didn’t preach the message of ruthless competition and winner takes all wealth. I’d go one step further, and say that by Biblical accounts, Jesus was executed, because he supported the less fortunate and so threatened the wealth of the rich.

It amazes me that Christianity (especially American Christianity) has developed almost an entirely separate sect, to the teachings of Jesus. They some how manage to combine the teachings of Jesus, with Nationalism, with Capitalism, and with the odd skewed understanding of “traditional marriage“, despite all three of those, going against everything Jesus ever taught. If you’re going to insist that gays shouldn’t be allowed to be married on religious grounds, then perhaps I could count on your support when I try to marry six wives, like King David. Or when I try to pass a law requiring all the brothers of dead men, to marry their dead brother’s widow and have children, as sanctioned in Matthew 22:24. (“Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him“). Why just go after homosexuals? Why not the brothers of dead men, who haven’t married their brother’s widow? Surely they’re sinning too? Christianity itself was a product of it’s time. It has no relevance today. The only basis it has, it to allow those with deeply held prejudice and intolerant views, to cite the Bible for justification. Much of the time (as is the case with the entire Catholic Church), they are so far off the mark of Biblical teachings, i’m almost inclined to believe i’m more of a Christian than the Catholic Church could ever be.

If it is true, that hell is going to be packed with Atheists, sexually promiscuous women, scientists, those who undertook great acts of kindness but weren’t Christian, Democrat Presidents, anyone who has ever touched pigskin, among others – then Hell is the fun and happy place to be! If the option is “Become a gay hating Republican, or go to Hell“, then i’m afraid it’s Hell every time. If my mother, my father, my grandparents, me, and all of my friends who do not subscribe to Christian doctrine are damned to an eternity in a torturous Hell, then the God that created these ridiculous rules, is a God I want nothing to do with.

And so with all of that in mind, I have decided to formulate my own religious system of beliefs, based on the following points.

Thou shall treat others, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, religious belief, as equal to yourself.

Wednesday is to be the day of sex. This is important to my new Religion because sex is the binding essence of all life. And let’s face it, we’d all quite like to have sexual freedom.

A man can lie with another man as he would a woman, if he so wishes. To ignore your true feelings and to oppress your sexuality, for this is unnatural. (Leviticus 18:22)

Anyone who offers their daughters up to be raped by towns people (even if it is to save angels) is not the good guy! (Genesis 19:8)

No one shall ever say “My country is a Christian country“. Especially when (as is the case with the U.S.A), it isn’t, and never was.

There will be no list that says “Thou shalt not murder“, because it’s common sense, it didn’t need writing down, it isn’t morality based on Religious beliefs. Instead, we shall replace pointless Jealous-God Commandments like “Do not have any other gods before me“, and replace with much more principled and practical moral codes (which the Catholic Church could really benefit from) like “Thou shalt not rape, molest, slaughter, torture, or intentionally hurt another“.

If you’re a Politician, your belief in this religion, shall not interfere with your duties to the public. You shall not try to influence policy in the direction of religious dogma.

My birth will be determined, three hundred years after i’ve died, by Roman dictators.

Touching pig skin is not dirty, any God who says it is, is just being pedantic.

Two thousand year old scribblings, do not constitute “absolute truth“.

Creating light, after the Earth and Heavens, is just ridiculous. God (me) created light first. I’ll create the sun first. Because there would be no way to distinguish day from night otherwise, and that’d be a ridiculous way to spend, let’s say, the first three days. (Genesis 1:16)

When I die, please Gospel of Jamie writers, let’s agree what my last words were. I don’t want three different versions, like with Matthew, Luke and John.

Homosexuals can marry. Why should they be excluded from the misery of marriage?

Just so you know, I probably wont spend more than an hour a day, blessing America.

Good deeds will get you into my heaven!

Believing, by blind faith, rejecting all evidence to the contrary, is the great catastrophe of mankind.

If something good happens to you, you will not be required to say “God blessed me, thank you Lord“, whilst ignoring the plight of millions in extreme poverty. I’d be a shit God to bless Britney Spears with the ability to get rich and win awards, and yet ignore millions of others. If good things happen to you, I really don’t need you to thank me on National Television.

Money is not the driving force of life. Less is more.

You cannot charge money for anything with my name on it. There will be no huge Vatican like building. Any money donated will go on community projects (Communist God?).

You may wear clothing woven from two different types of material. It would be a most ridiculous and pointless rule ever suggested (Leviticus 19:19).

Women are not created for the servitude of men. To suggest otherwise, is just more prejudice, bigoted nonsense (I Corinthians 11:8-9).

Women may be in a position of power (1 Tim 2:12).

You may not sell your daughter, nor any person, into slavery. (Exodus 21:7).

You may lust after whomever you wish, because it’s perfectly natural, everyone does it (Matthew 5:28).

You may associate with Atheists (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).

Let’s please not celebrate the traditional marriage. Between man and woman. And between the man and his concubines (II Sam 5:13). And that marriage between a believer and non-believer is forbidden(Gen 24:3). And that if there is no decent man, single women should get their father’s drunk, and sleep with their dads (Genesis 19:31-36). Biblical marriage is just a nightmare.

It is not acceptable to pick and choose passages, just to attempt to justify your own hatreds.

Please understand, that Evolution doesn’t mean your great grandfather once slept with a monkey. That’s not how it works.

It is okay if you do not take the Bible seriously. You are a free, rational thinking, entity. You are free to believe whatever you so wish, you are free to think, without fear of punishment for those beliefs.

Join the Church of Jamie today!

Republican Jamie

For one day only, i’ve decided to embrace the art of being a Republican.
And so for all you lefties (closet homosexuals) and those of you who like to engage brain activity (Satan worshippers) it’s probably best you look away now.

Thank god for Texas Gov. Rick Perry (A true Patriot, perhaps even the ACTUAL 2nd coming of Christ), who suggested Texas could secede from the Union. Texans should be proud! They don’t need evil socialist gay loving social security, medicaid, highway repair, medicare and anything else the Union offers them. Texas doesn’t need to be included in the same list of States as Gayowa. Take your Socialist Federal infrastructure back! Take back Department of Defence funding! Texas doesn’t need that commie bullshit. God will replace it all! And as for the new Texan economy, it’d be amazingly strong! Because we’re the party of fiscal responsibility you know! Plus, Bush is a Texan, so considering he’s been a fiscal genius over his eight years (I like to call them, America’s Golden Years), he can be the brand new Nation of Texas Treasury Secretary. YEAH! Texas doesn’t need your commie Union.

For the past three months a black man (I believe they are referred to as “bruvas“) has occupied George Bush’s house. It seems a little unfair. Bush had successfully managed to lower house prices SO much, that anyone (including lazy “bruvas from da hood“) can afford to buy, so much so that a bruva has taken Bush’s house from him. That’s gratitude for you. The lying liberal media (with the exception of the totally fair and unbiased Fox News) have lost control when it comes to Barack HUSSAIN (yes, Hussain!!! It sounds like insane!!! Coincidence?) Obama (YES!! Obama!! It sounds like a bomber!! Coincidence?…. Barak insane Abomber*….. God warned us!!). They’re everywhere. The BBC over here with it’s Trotskyist approach to news reporting …… i’ve never once seen them refer to homosexuals as dirty sinners, who shouldn’t be allowed near children, and are on their way to hell… even though that’s exactly what they are. The liberal media with it’s homosexual agenda must go!

Earlier I pointed out that Bush had managed to destroy push down house prices so much so that even those weird coloured people bought them up. Which in turn, lead to the crises we’re in today. George Bush, Dick Cheney and Phil Gramm just tried to help. The Liberal media and it’s muslim loving homosexual agenda will have you believe that those three helped deregulate so much that the entire market became one big mess. Well it wouldn’t have become a mess if blacks hadn’t started paying for things they couldn’t afford bringing their crime and “shiz” into crime free happy joyful white neighbourhoods!!!! We all know that the only way to deal with a fire is to set it on fire. And so logic dictates that the only way to deal with this crises is more deregulation!! Much like the only way to deal with increase in gun crime is more guns!!!

Liberals will have you believe that a woman has the right to choose whether or not she has an abortion. As an outsider looking into the Freest country on the Planet, I wonder, where is the freedom for a Christian to block a woman deciding what she thinks is best for her body? She’s clearly wrong if the she wants an abortion. She’s going against God. Like the gays and the jews and brown people. The true followers of Jesus Christ (Republicans) have a moral duty to correct this. It wont be long before they actually want to abort children AFTER they’re born, have left college and got a job. The liberals will say it’s the mothers right. Could they be any more in cahoots with the anti-christ (who, coincidentally, is Barak Insane Abomber)? Liberals would allow a child to grow up, and indulge in premarital sex…… homosexual sex nonetheless, with same sex hookers, and then for fun, they’d go out and perform an abortion.

We fight for the right of life! Children are precious and should be treated as such! Even before birth. In fact, even before conception. Every time you masturbate you’re killing potential children, and God hates you for it, you fucking murderers. And don’t tell me that we’re baby killers just because a few Iraqi children died in our bombing. They don’t even believe in Jesus. And, they’re Iraqi, so they’d only grow up to be terrorists anyway.
We protect children! Which is why we vetoed the SCHIP program, an evil leftie commie hippy program designed to give five million poor children health insurance. Do you know how Clinton wanted to pay to cover those poor lazy kids? That’s right! He wanted to raise tax on cigarettes. Which, in turn would lead to less smoking, and less State tax revenue. He actually thought it was Constitutional to help lazy kids whilst at the same time cut smoking. All it’s doing is teaching kids to be commies and that’s un-American. “Help” is un-American.
Luckily Senate Majority Leader at the time, Trent Lott said that it was just a large inflated Government program that would not pass! Hate lazy kids but love cigarettes? Vote Lott! Perhaps if the children weren’t lazy or black or muslims, Jesus Christ would love them enough to give them more money for health insurance. But he didn’t. Because they’re lazy. And the money I spend on cigarettes I DO NOT want going to helping Satan’s children, who will probably grow up to be homosexuals or criminals any way.
Luckily Bush was on hand to veto any attempt to pass such a bill, saying that it would “federalize health care” and we don’t want no fucking evil commie healthcare system like the gayropeans in countries like Gay Britain have.
But then Barack Insane Abomber became President (America’s first Terrorist President, who will undo all the humanitarian work that Bush has achieved), and suddenly four million more children including (and this bit sickens me) the children of legal immigrants are now covered!!!! Commie Mexican kids, taking up YOUR tax dollars to fund their health care? What next? A Socialist police force covering all areas regardless of who can afford it? Some of those kids don’t even believe in Jesus. Should we be paying for them to recover? Boo hoo, they’re ill…… if they weren’t so heretical and lazy, perhaps they wouldn’t need your tax money!!

What if those kids grow up to be scientists (faggot Jesus deniers)? How guilty will you feel if you helped cure a kid who insists on Darwin’s idea that your grandma was an ape? What if he teaches YOUR kids that gays are not evil satan worshippers? What if he teaches that the Earth isn’t 6,000 years old? What if he grows up to tell us all that Polar bears are worth saving instead of letting Dick Cheney grow richer from his oil ventures? What if he grows up to support action on climate change (it’s really cold here today, Global Warming? More like Global liberal homosexual jesus hating bullshit) Could you live with yourself if all that happened? I certainly couldn’t. The liberal media would win, and that can’t happen!! Why haven’t they questioned where Abomber gets his suits from? I tell you why…. because he gets his suits from terrorist homosexuals in Iran which is near Eurogaycommieland. That’s why!

The fact remains that Abomber wants to let muslims with bombs straight from Gitmo (liberals say that some of those inmates are “innocent”….. they come from outside the U.S.of.AWESOME, so they’re not fucking innocent. They deserve it! The Satan worshipping homos) live next door to you. It’s no surprise. He’s never once came out in public and denied that he’s a terrorist, which means he’s a terrorist. Like all muslims are terrorists. He wants to let homos into the military. Yeah that’s just what they need, whilst the REAL men are killing as many dirty terrorist arabs as possible, suddenly a man dancing to George Michael records sits next to them and starts talking about shoes.
He wants your kids to be bummed in school by the gays. He thinks it’s ok to allow teachers to say “Darwin” instead of “Satan” and teach that farfetched ridiculous impossible concept of evolution. Luckily It wont last long, we have Jesus on our side….. he was the son of a virgin and God, who was killed for our sins, rose from the dead, walked around for a bit, and then ascended into heaven. And worst of all Barack Insane Abomber has never once said “I’m not a muslim and i’m not an atheist“. Logic must conclude that because he’s never said those words, he must be a muslim and an atheist aswell as being a homosexual, a jew and black (so much for racial equality, change we can believe in?). We need to stop this. Already “Gayowa” has given into to the fags and given them the right to get married (which means I never want to get married, because if I did, i’d be a bit like the gays, and that’s disgusting) turning their state into as Humanevents calls it “A mecca” for aids lovers. Our children are the real victims here (not the lazy ones mentioned earlier, they’re already going to hell). They’re going to grow up thinking that it’s acceptable for two men to get married (two women is hott!), and so rejecting Jesus Christ in the process. And everyone knows if you reject Jesus our lord, you’re going to hell. As this chart shows.

See that! Satan is a pacifist. A leftie. A liberal. A homosexual. He doesn’t believe in violence. We have God on our side. He isn’t afraid to kick ass! FUCK YEAH!

Do I feel safer with Barack Insane Abomber in the White House? No. Whilst he and his home boyz sit chillin’ to 50 Cent, talking using a teleprompter (Bush didn’t have to do that, and his speeches are just as awe-inspiring and beautifully eloquent – even more so than the terrorist who took over) the World is laughing at America because we’re the wimps now! At least Bush and Jesus kept us in the West safe from terrorism (Madrid, London, 9/11, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco don’t count as proof that the World is more unsafe because if the Gayocrats had been in charge since 2001, those places wouldn’t even exist now!!! They’d all be muslim….. London would now be Londonstan… Bush stopped that from happening). Barack Insane Abomber is one of those who want to hurt Americans. When end of days is upon us (Republicans vs atheist homosexual muslim jews), Insane Abomber will have a lot of explaining to do.

Thank goodness for Republican bloggers! Like Sure Sense, who rightfully warns that after the Homeland Security Document covering Right Winged extremism (it is my freedom and the freedom of the other Republican bloggers, to completely ignore the fact that a report was also released on Left Wing Extremism) is bringing about THE END OF THE WORLD! Sure Sense doesn’t like that the DOHS Document, especially line “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration“
Sure Sense, tries to analyse the line, with his own magical synopsis…..
“So what this is saying is that all Evangelical Christians, who hold homosexuality and abortion to be a sin are now potential terrorist threats. “
- YES! That’s exactly what it says. I didn’t notice it before, because I was too busy focusing on the actual words. When I read it over and over, that’s exactly what it says! They are putting all Christians down as terrorists! Which we’re not! That’s the muslims! Luckily Sure Sense is on track to be much more understanding toward us Christians, much more accepting, much less vile…
” I do not hold that Buddha, Confucius, or Mohammad can get people to God. Sure, they may help you be “religious”, but all of their teachings are about how you have to be good enough, and you can’t be.”
- That’s fucking right! How dare the DOHS attack us. Those damn intolerent, ignorant bastards. It’s everyone else, who aren’t American Christians, who’re going to hell!!! We tried to tell that to the Iraqis, they hate us for it. So fuck them!
He doesn’t stop there! He continues with his well thought out logic!!…
” From there, we’ll see Christians being jailed, and eventually martyred.“
That’s right!! As well as being a gay loving commie, Abomber is also a big fan of the works of Emperor Nero. I fear for the future of Christians.

The only way to clean up the mess that Abomber has created (It’s a new mess, totally unexpected, definitely was not the fault of the previous incredibly competent Administration, despite what Liberals might tell you), is by having tea parties and talk of secession!!! That’s the way forward for the glorious GOP! Chuck Norris/Rush Limbaugh for President/Vice President of Texas!!!!!

Right, i’m off teabagging with the other ten Republicans (which the Liberal media wont cover by the way!!!) We don’t want our children inheriting such a huge tax burden!!!!(that’s not to say we wont accept the tax cut they’re giving us… the biggest in middle class U.S History apparently…..which makes them SECRET communists or fascists. One of the other!) Our children have a right to inherit an overly polluted earth free from tax burden!! We’re revolting for the sake of FREEDOM and that makes us Patriots! Unlike when those Lefties protested the Iraq war, the un-American homosexual Jesus hating muslims.

For true freedom (we freed Iraq baby!!) vote Republican in 2012. If you don’t, then you’re going to hell.

*Watching too much Abomber increases the risk of cancer.

The Jesus before Jesus

The Cult of Mithras dates back to around 1400bc, in Ancient India. The Romans then picked up on it after travelling home from Persia during the reign of Nero, and suddenly this new cult in Western Civilisation was born.

According to Roman tradition, in the Chambers Encyclopedia, Mithras’ birthday was the most important of all festivals surrounding him. His birthday was said to have been celebrated on December 25th. The birthday of Jesus, which we have no way of knowing, was decided upon as the 25th of December, by Emperor Constantine, in 313ad, 313 years after Jesus was born.

On December 25th, Mithras followers celebrated “The birth of the Sun”. The importance surrounding Mithras is better known today than it’s ever been. He was said to be able to perform miracles, he was a great teacher, had many followers including twelve disciples and of course, was named “the lamb of God.” When Mithras died, his “rising” three days after his burial was celebrated throughout Rome and Persia.

Franz Cumont, Professor at the University of Ghent, once wrote about Mithras: “The sectaries of the Persian god, like the Christians’, purified themselves by baptism, received by a species of confirmation the power necessary to combat the spirit of evil; and expected from a Lord’s supper salvation of body and soul..”

Within the Church of Mithras itself, the followers baptised each other, created a hierarchy, and had the Eucharist.
Within Rome, a picture relic, showing the young Mithras on the knee of his virgin mother whilst three Persian Magi offer gifts to the “sun of God” stood for all to see. Just to remind those who worship Mithras that when they died, Mithras would be there, casting judgement on their souls.

So to sum up, Mithras was….
Called “The sun of God”.
Born of a Virgin mother.
Had three people bring gifts to his birth.
Had twelve disciples.
Born on December 25th.
Died and then rose again three days later.
Hated the idea of Abortion but just LOVED the idea that everyone should have a gun (ok, I made that bit up).

His followers…..
Would baptise themselves.
Believed in a final judgement.
Celebrated the Eucharist.
Had a big festival on December 25th.

Now, I don’t know about you, but it all seems very familiar.

Making a hell out of heaven

I appear to had forgotten just how unreasonable a vindaloo is a few hours after you’ve eaten it.
It’s like an incredibly attractive female, who, after you’ve “enjoyed” her, tells you she’s got herpes.
It sits there, staring at me, begging to be eaten, and so owing to my great incapability for saying no, I eat it. Savouring every last beautifully cheap and greasy mouthful (the curry, not the attractive female), I’m too deep into the heavenly taste, that I don’t think about the consequences of these actions. I go to bed satisfied.
A few hours later, and I wake up feeling like someone is about to blowtorch my arse.

I’ve wondered recently, what heaven is. What it’s like. Who it pleases. Who decides what universal perfection and happiness is. I mean, I understand that Heaven is the perfected perfection. It’s also very Conservative, in that it doesn’t like change or social progression. God spits at the Gays! Like an angry redneck scared that the sanctity of his second marriage to his second cousin may be undermined if we let the “fags” marry. It’s also very undemocratic, what with one guy ruling the entire place, very heavy handedly I might add, Bush will be invading heaven before January, I assure you.

If, as Christians tend to suggest, no homosexual person, or no person who questions Christianity, or no person who hasn’t accepted Jesus as “their lord and saviour” exists in heaven, then I do not want to go to Heaven. If the Christian heaven, void of anyone who happens to have a different view of life exists, then it’s indeed a very good advert for going to Hell. Hell seems much more diverse and accepting.
A Christian at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, once told me that unless you accept Jesus into your life, you are destined for hell. I asked him, “what would happen to an Aid Worker in the Sudan, who dedicates his life to helping others, all his money goes into helping orphaned children live a better life, but is Atheist, and Gay?” The Christian, told me that man would go to hell for being a non believer. Yet this Christian stood in front of me, aimlessly condemning good people to hell, will be going straight to heaven? This same Christian, who will act morally, purely to appease his God and maybe get on the path to Heaven, whereas that Gay Atheist aid worker, acts morally, because he wants to do good, he has no one to impress, no God to appease, he does the right thing, for the sake of humanity, is going to hell? I think that’s a brilliant advert for hell right there.

Surely Heaven is different for everyone? My idea of the perfect eternal World will be entirely different to that, for example, of a White Supremacist. Their idea of heaven, may very well be void of all black or Asian people. Whereas, my idea of heaven would include every ethnic grouping, every coloured skin, every sexual orientation, every Nationality, every class, and every walk of life on the planet, living in a place without a whisp of fear or bigotry.
The idea of the perfect World for a Priest, may not include sexual salacious bliss, or may only include sexual salacious bliss for couples who had married in the material World. This, is my idea of hell.

Everyone is different.

A Vegetarian may find that his or her idea of Heaven, is never having to find another restaurant that actually caters to Vegetarians in a respectful maner. A table full of beautiful Vegetarian dishes. Whereas, my only edible wish for Heaven, all I ask of God, if he truly is merciful, would be a Vindaloo that doesn’t set my arse on fire.

The hypocrisy of the Christian Right

 

****

Hitler was a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
Sadam was a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
Polpot was a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
Osama Bin Laden is a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
General Pinochet was a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
George W Bush is a genocidal maniac, and hetrosexual.
Myra Hindley killed kids, and was hetrosexual.
Ted Bundy killed college girls, and was hetrosexual.
Ian Huntley killed two little girls, and was hetrosexual.
And yet the Christian Right has the fucking nerve to suggest it’s homosexuality that is a cancer on the Planet.

It strikes me as utterly inexcusable that a Nation bound to the values of freedom and fairness, condemn anyone who happens to have a different sexual preference to one that happened to be written down, 2000 or so years ago, when you know, it was alright for grown men to sleep with fourteen year old girls. And they hold that time up, as a guidance for all morality.
It’s bigotted, it’s unfounded, it’s another case of using that horrible form of social manipulation… “God” ….. to justify ones own disgraceful prejudices.

It would seem that happiness is not an individual freedom. It seems that the Christian Right Wing, decide what should be considered happiness. Gay people are not wanting to get married, in order to spit in the face of hetrosexual couples. They just want the absolute freedom to be happy, just like a hetrosexual couple, and no one has any right to deny them that freedom, if you voted in favour of Prop. 8, you should be incredibly ashamed of yourself, you’re beliefs on this matter, are wrong.

I read this today, in regard to Proposition 8, a Law banning same sex marriage in California……
“Gender, race and impairment all relate to what a person is, whereas homosexuality relates to what a person does.”

What an idiot.
“Hey, what you doing today?“
“Oh you know, this and that, some golf maybe, a bit of homosexuality, maybe go swimming”.
Clearly, from an misinformed, bigotted Christian, insisting that HIS God, is one of peace, love, and unity, and yet paradoxically, condemning everyone to hell who isn’t an avid fan of his favourite work of Fiction, the Bible. Aside from the fact that the fundamental principle of Christianity is that God is perfect, and does not make mistakes, and therefore by definition, would accept homosexuality for what it is, just another form of love, because he created it, there are absolutely no other reasons to feel that gay marriage would undermine male/female marriage.

He went on…
“Some people have a strong bent towards stealing or abuse of alcohol, but they still choose to engage or not engage in this behavior the law rightly holds them accountable.”

The difference, that he chooses to ignore, is that homosexuality, between two consenting adults, is not harming anyone, it’s nobody elses business, it isn’t causing any harm. It’s a sexual preference. Nothing else. It isn’t wrong, it isn’t unnatural. It has nothing to do with the Christian right. It’s personal choice. For what possible reason is it wrong? Use your own mind on this one, not one of a vile, hate-filled God.

One guy suggested that he wants to ban gay marriage, because he doesn’t want his kids indoctrinated with the idea that homosexuality is ok, at school, when in fact, he suggested that homosexuality was “another form of abuse”. This man, shouldn’t be having kids, if he’s just trying to pass on messages of hate to his own children. I’d be far more pissed off, and have to remove my kids from school, if they were teaching that it’s wrong to be homosexual. If one of my kids thinks he may be gay, and the school is telling everyone that it’s wrong, i’d pull my kid straight out of that school. And what the fuck is with “it’s just another form of abuse”….. clearly when God created Christians, he may have overestimated his ability.

Another guy suggested that gay guys are much more promiscuous than hetrosexual males and so far more likely to spread disease. I’m a hetrosexual male, and i’m promiscuous. I love sex. Infact, sex to me, has nothing to do with “procreation“, it’s all about fun, enjoying myself, relaxing, and above all, happiness. If a God would rather me sit in my room, rocking backwards and forwards, crying over the fact that i’m a dirty sinner, whilst I condemn anyone with opinions of their own to hell, then that’s a God who quite frankly, can fuck off.
If I were to settle down and get married, have kids. I’d be lying to myself. I’d be hugely unhappy, and would be wasting both mine and my partners life, because it’s just not me. Not a Christian, not a Politician pandering to the bigots, and not a God is going to tell me otherwise. I’m me. Sex is such a taboo subject, people telling other people who they should love, how they should live, and who they should enjoy sex with. It should not be like this.

Why is it perfectly ok for the Christian Right to attack anything that isn’t directly pro-life….. homosexuality, abortion, but they seem to keep quiet when THEIR right winged Christian government destroy over 600,000 innocent lives in foreign countries, for reasons we still don’t know of? It seems great to be pro-life, as long as that life is white, christian, American, and doesn’t grow up to be gay. It takes hypocrisy to an entirely new level. I wish they would just admit that they use the Bible to justify themselves, and that it isn’t actually a religious matter, they just hate gay people, or go one step further, they hate anyone who happens to be slightly different. Because, God, as we all know, is a red neck from Texas, which is why they relate to him so well.  

It’s beautifully ignorant of the far right Christian hate brigade, to cite Leviticus, with…
“A man shall not lie with another man, it is an abomination” ……as proof that God is up in heaven throwing darts at a poster of Elton John, and yet they cleverly ignore verses in Exodus, such as…

“On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day shall be put to death.”
My dad works on a Sunday sometimes. Infact, tomorrow is Sunday, i’ll be doing some University work, for monday. Is God sending me to hell? Should I be put to death tomorrow? The Christians who despise gay people due to a verse in leviticus, and therefore morally obliged to put anyone to do death who happens to work on a Sunday, otherwise, their argument is void of all intelligence (As if it isn’t already). And does this hell consist of free thinkers, as opposed to the easily manipulated hate filled lunatics God seems to use as his spokes people, because if that’s what Hell is, i’m quite looking forward to it. It’ll be refreshing to be honest.
Exodus 21:7…
“When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do.”
Fantastic. If i’m ever in need of some spare cash, God says it’s alright for me to sell my daughter into slavery. That’s fine then. So, if my dad works on a Sunday, but then sells my sister into slavery, has he cancelled the sin out, with his morally superior act of selling kids into slavery? Will be be saved?

The point is, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to have a problem with homosexuality, other than ones own personal hatred toward anyone who happens to be slightly different.
They claim it’s “unnatural”. Surely it’s far more unnatural to surppress who you are, in order to please a bunch of ignorant bigots? In fact, i’d go one further, and say that what is far more unnatural, is blind obediance to a man in the sky, something that can neither be proved true or false.
Gay couples who love each other, just as much as hetrosexual couples, who simply want to be recognised for their bond, should have the same level of rights as hetrosexual couples. Hetrosexual couples, are not superior.

When it comes to equality, clearly a large section of Americans are living in their own little World. Don’t bang on about how you voted Republican, to protect civil liberties and freedom, and then demand that other sections of society give up their rights to the same freedom you wish to preserve, you bigotted, out of date, idiotic, mindless, despicable excuses for human beings.

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” – Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

GOD LOVES HATE!
