OK, about the Teddy Bear teacher in Sudan... What the hell?
These Islamic idiots are putting an innocent lady in a prison that's over 5
times its capacity? All for naming a toy Muhammad? Shouldn't the extreme
overcrowding be an indicator that they JAIL way too many people for stupid shit
like this? I'm sure that won't come off the way it's meant, cuz all they have
to do in response is start killing moonshiners instead of jailing them. That's
not what I mean. What I'm saying is: YOU HAVE TOO MANY STUPID LAWS!
So naming a Teddy Bear after your precious prophet is an
insult? But it was good enough for President Roosevelt! He no doubt took great
joy in being associated with a beloved childhood icon. You know what? SCREW
your precious Muhammad! And I'm not talking about the stinkin' bear!
Now, I'm sure there are people of Muslim faith who are very
sensible. But the problem is, when you think about it, the fundamentalists are
really the ones in each religion who preach and practice the TRUE faith. The
fundies are the ones that get all the bad press, but they are the ones who
usually take EVERY WORD in their holy scriptures as LITERAL GOSPEL. Offshoots
and watered-down versions of the faith are some of the people who take the
positive parts and leave the negative. I know plenty of Christians who do not
judge people, teach that God loves everyone, gay or straight, black or white,
those who marry outside their race, powerful women who stand on equal ground
with men, etc. But many of these things I was taught were abominations in the
eyes of God. Or at least frowned upon.
If you're not going to buy into the whole book, why buy into
any of it? You can't in one breath tell me that the Holy Bible is the word of
almighty God and then turn around and ignore the parts you don't like. That's
hypocritical. And it tells me that even YOU don't believe it! You can't
honestly believe in the veracity of a document as a whole without believing
wholeheartedly in each individual point contained therein, especially if it is the
INFALLIBLE word of an INFALLIBLE God.
That is why, increasingly more every day, I am buying into
the idea that organized religion as a whole is a very BAD THING. I don't give a
damn WHICH religion. They all promote hate and intolerance. I know
realistically we will never live on an Earth devoid of religion. For some
reason, people are drawn to it like moths to a flame. Just remember, sometimes
the moth THINKS it's a flame and it ends up zapping him to dust in a purple
whiff of ultraviolence.
I also recognize that violent religious crusades and clashes
help our planet maintain its balance by thinning out our numbers. Just as
earthquakes, cancer, AIDS, etc. do the same. Everyone can't live forever. Dying
is a fact of life, the last fact of life. If we all lived forever, we really
WOULD be in danger of stripping our planet bare of its resources. If only there
were some way to make sure it was the WICKED who were weeded out. Too often,
the ones in power are corrupt and succeed in wiping out vast numbers of the
innocent.
I guess the Earth doesn't care who she kills off, just that
the numbers have got to be maintained as closely as possible. Just goes to show
how cosmically unimportant we all REALLY are. And if THAT doesn't make you want
to cling to some hope of cosmic significance, I don't know what will. That's
why, deep down, man feels he needs a God who created him for a purpose. But He
didn't. Because there isn't.
