Harrumping All Day

The religious right-wing wackos are doing their very best to take control of politics.  There are a number of times in history when these boneheads were running things and none of them were good.  The Inquisition, the Crusades, burning women at the stake, prohibition, just to name a few. These wackos think that their beliefs are superior to anyone else’s belief.  

Beliefs are not facts; they are just things that you perceive to be true.  There were many people who believed the world was flat but at no point in history was the world ever flat. There are people who believe the moon is made of cheese, that it is okay to treat animals cruelly and that it is okay to abuse other people.  I really don’t care about their beliefs as long as they don’t act on them in a way that is hurtful or detrimental to some one else.  I care about their behavior.

I am also very tired of the boneheads that go around telling everyone that they are a Christian as if that automatically makes them a good person. They seem to be the same ones that pray on facebook so everyone can see how religious they are.  They talk up the sanctity of marriage and then are constantly caught having affairs and getting divorced three of four times in their lives.  I don’t really care what you say, I care what you do. People can say anything. Most guilty people say they are innocent.  
 
All of this crap about religious persecution is just that: Crap.  You can pray in school. You can pray all day long. You just can’t pray over the public address system.  Just because some one has a different belief than you do, doesn’t affect your belief at all. What the religious right really wants is for everyone to believe in what they believe in. 
   

If everyone would simply follow the Golden Rule, the world would be a much better place.  

  

Stay tuned for future adventures.
