It’s amazing how many people who live their lives to religion in their effort to not have to take responsibility for the decisions they make in their lives other than to follow what the religion supposedly teaches. It’s even worse when people follow a religion claiming it’s teachings are timeless regardless of why they were written and under what social and government and lifestyle infrastructure. It’s surprising how many will give up their voice, their reason and their intelligence to replace them with religious beliefs and teachings. And the fights over interpretation, the conflicts suffered, the wars fought over religions, the money fleeced from followers without question, the disassociation with non-followers at whatever the cost and on and on and on to support their path. It’s a wonder why such strong adherence is tolerated in light of the paths others have chosen or have developed to live by. Oh and if any of them do wrong well they have someone to blame: Satan. Surely, the follower had nothing to do with their wrong. That would mean they would have to take responsibility for their actions.

Look kids…the Bible was written for a different time under a different set of cultures and government none of which has any correlation to nor consideration of modern times no matter how anyone bends it to say it does. And the Bible takes away the one inalienable and personal right of every person — the right to choose without fear, without threat, without condemnation. And sure people make choices that can land them in harm’s way, in jail or prison, or be blacklisted — by man instead of a deity. The Christian God can and will allow your destruction simply for not believing because in His finite world that He protects there are only two reasons anything happens and two folks anyone can follow — Him and Satan. And the odd thing is that Satan was Lucifer — one of God’s highest Angels in Heaven (sounds like a fairytale at this point, but the believers certainly don’t want their story end). Down here on earth we would call that bad management. Satan quit and left to run his own company. And God — well He’s been pissed off ever since. He even plans to throw the hellbent angel into the Lake of Fire in near future. Oh that’s right there’s no such thing as time in God’s world — so I guess Satan is already gone. No wonder no one will marry God. Nobody wants to live with a hermit. But here some of you are….having a hermit tell you how to live your lives and what kind of sex you can have — some guy who has zip experience in any of this, but who loves to kick your ass around with His words and teachings AND threaten your ass by using abusive Father tactics that He knows you’ll all go along with ’cause He has plans and works in mysterious ways. Hell, He couldn’t even write the Bible by Himself. He had to ‘inspire’ his kids to do it for him. Talk about living long enough to become a burden to your children!

People ought to keep in mind that that brain they have in their heads was made for something other than running the body — you know, something like just enough to figure out life and how to live it on their own. ’Cause, seriously, if all the Bibles and writings suddenly disappeared are the followers gonna look at each other stunned and say this: “What do we do now?”!
