"Dont buy into the sickness affecting your generation!"
March 21, 2016 at 8:41 pm
My mom sends me articles from time to time thinking they will change my mind or something.

Here is the text "http://www.vocativ.com/news/299168/americans-pray-think-heaven-is-real/

Don't buy into the sickness affecting your generation."

I guess we are sick.

Actually that article is very good news.


Quote:Since 1980, the number of Americans who believe in God has decreased by half and the number who pray has declined five-fold. Has America lost its faith?

Tell your mom to re-read it and pay attention this time.  God is dead....fuck him.

The "nones" have reached or surpassed the evangelicals. I hope the Republicans are paying attention - assuming the party even survives the 2016 election.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

If god has to enlist the help of your mum in order to demonstrate his very existence, he can't be very powerful or relevant.

The "sickness" is indoctrination. It's not working so well now because insular environments are increasingly harder to maintain, and scientific knowledge has drastically increased.

Don't buy into the sickness? It's kina rude to call religion such but I agree with such stance Wink
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Of course it's rude. If religionists want polite dialogue, they need to stop telling me I'm immoral and damned.

No, no. You urgently need fixing. Here, have this old genocidal book and give us your money. That'll solve this problem.
