It is truly sickening to see the all perfect ‘Christians’ and other people ‘in the know’ try to impose their stupid and indeed twisted and delirious ideas about abortion and contraception on the public. What peeves me is their stance that somehow proper healthcare is a stab against their ‘Religious Freedom’

The various churches–because the delirious can’t seem to settle on one religion, one church or one ‘god’–do not care that contraception and planned abortions are more helpful to American women than not. It is no secret that Christians have never cared much for their women, subjugating them at every turn through the ages, to all sorts of weird practices…even Mitt Romney’s crowd liked to force them into polygamy and all sorts of wife swapping/child swapping type games.

Christians in America are following what seems to be a worldwide trend of trying to impose their various religious beliefs on unsuspecting folks like a ‘thief in the night’ as the saying goes. The religiously delirious in the UK and elsewhere on earth are no different as the Telegraph News reveals.

I remind readers of the appalling treatment Gay people are subjected to by Nigeria’ ‘religious’– a recent bill there now threatens Gay couples with jail sentences of up to 14 years. Similarly religion is being used in the US to stomp on people’s rights, I refer you to our own Prop 8 issue, something that was pushed for by Mitt Romney’s Church of Latter Day Saints.

Back in the US, the religious say that abortions will result in punishment from their various ‘lords’…so will contraception, blood transfusions, stem cell research, not giving tithes and probably even not offering your son’s “tushie” to the priest on a silver platter.

Some of these churches choose to make judgement calls on the rights of others getting proper lifesaving healthcare on a whim that some religious scripture says so…even though these modern medical procedures were not even invented 2000 to 3000 years ago. In those days the equally delirious engaged in infant sacrifices and the like, which was discouraged by putting these ‘punishments’ into the Bible and other scriptures in the centuries after, while the scriptures were being invented/written.

I have said before in other writings and my book [shameless plug], that the authors of the Bible and other scriptures never saw God, they only heard voices… something that clearly tells the sane and the delirious apart in modern times. In fact we actually diagnose them now and give them the psychiatric help they need, to quiet the little voices in their heads.

Back in the days of Moses and Abraham, it was quite normal to hear voices then write religious scripture as a result and this should have no bearing on if a woman who is the victim of some incestuous crime to have an abortion if she chooses.

This idiot Ron Paul said if it was an ‘honest’ rape on his daughter or grand-daughter then he would carry them to the ER and administer a shot of Estrogen. You’re kidding right?

It gives me no warm feeling of assurance to have these delirious followers of delirious religions deciding health issues. We have to learn to pick sense from nonsense and not be delirious followers who believe everything the priests and the scriptures say…at the very least, leave the religion in the churches and do not impose these weird beliefs on the rest of us.

If the religious are perturbed by abortion, contraception, blood transfusions and the like, that are offered to the rest of us in our insurances or other avenues, then instead of changing laws that affect all of us, just OPT out…I insist my daughter has all the necessary healthcare benefits she needs and I don’t appreciate someone preventing her from that because of their bogus religious reasons.

My taxes pay for the street that is used to get to the church; my taxes pay for the police that protect the church; my taxes pay for the firemen that puts out the church fire, or the fire at the priest’s house–which was started when he knocked over the candle while chasing little Jimmy around the room with his pants down– so should I get a law passed that restricts the use of these services and ‘commons’ to religious entities? I don’t think that is a direction in which we should go.

I remind you that a church or other religious institutions enjoy tax exemptions only because they agree to be ‘insulated’ from matters of state and keep matters between church and state separate.  I think they are crossing the line.

Of course when someone believes that if they do not force everyone else to believe the absurd things they do, they honestly (or dishonestly) believe that their ‘loving’ god will send hurricanes or forest fires, it starts to cloud their judgement just a bit. Making it all the more imperative that they are kept away from the law making process.

In less extreme cases, they might only believe that their god will send those that don’t believe in their particular version of the sky daddy to hell for not worshiping him in the ‘right’ way. Suddenly you have people that believe they are behaving morally out of a fear instilled in them from childhood trying to ‘save’ others instead of taking the time to realize that other belief systems actually do exist (and *gasp* a lack there of too!).

This is ignoring those that hijack such dependance upon these fairy tales for their own benefit as I believe they are the most obvious (if most dangerous) of charlatans. They are snake oil salesmen with an all to willing market to prey upon. Stirring the ‘moral’ god fearing public into a frothing mix of rage and fear for their own financial gains.

All that rambling being said, rather good article.

Chris you are so right! They ARE snake oil salesman but in this case the snake oil are the opiates, the opiates of the masses.

There is no such thing as a Christian religion. It is Paulist.

Ambrose Bierce, in The Devil’s Dictionary, said it best:

Cristian, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor.

One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not
inconsistent with a life of sin.

I dreamed I stood upon a hill, and, lo!
The godly multitudes walked to and fro
Beneath, in Sabbath garments fitly clad,
With pious mien, appropriately sad,
While all the church bells made a solemn din —
A fire-alarm to those who lived in sin.
Then saw I gazing thoughtfully below,
With tranquil face, upon that holy show
A tall, spare figure in a robe of white,
Whose eyes diffused a melancholy light.
“God keep you, stranger,” I exclaimed. “You are
No doubt (your habit shows it) from afar;
And yet I entertain the hope that you,
Like these good people, are a Christian too.”
He raised his eyes and with a look so stern
It made me with a thousand blushes burn
Replied — his manner with disdain was spiced:
“What! I a Christian? No, indeed! I’m Christ.”
