Tolerate this!

Lack_of_respectMuslims are insulted when ever someone draws a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed. Christians feel that those godless Atheists are hell bent on ridiculing them while, at the same time, they are bringing down the whole country with their “liberal” ways. Christians always feel under attack, playing the “they’re picking on us” card. All this goes under the heading of a “respect my religion” ploy. Why the hell should we?

To be honest I am sick and tired of hearing how the poor Christians are offended by those godless liberals. You know, after centuries of crap from “loving” Christians about how we are all doomed for hell unless we “get saved”, it has reached a point where we should no longer stand by and not say anything.

Take one of the things that the Christian religion does that I think is very bad. It’s the indoctrination of children, at a very early age, into believing in some sort of space daddy who will send them to hell unless they believe in him, while at the same time telling these kids that Jesus loves them! Does this make sense?

Anyone who grew up in the Catholic Church will tell you how much the church loved to put guilt on little kids. From nuns, to brothers to priests, guilt about who you are (awful sinner) was what you carried through out your childhood. Many a psychologist has earned a lot on money trying to “deprogram” Catholics.

Anyway the time has come to call out religion for what it is. And that is a polarizing mythology that no longer has any real value in today’s world. If fundies are disrespected by this, tough cookies!
