A message to the Religious

[robvalue]

I don't know. I really don't. I'm surrounded (metaphorically speaking) by people who might as well be telling me they believe in Santa. The fact that they can't see that this is a very apt comparison just speaks to the level of indoctrination.

I would love to think that no matter how hard I got mind raped, I'd somehow find my way out of it and back to reality. But I can't be sure of that. I have no idea how hard the people on this forum have been mind raped. Probably to very varying degrees. If I had to guess, we're probably getting higher than average amounts. Some people just can't seem to think straight and can barely talk about the subject while making any sense at all. Some people just lie constantly. And some are obviously highly intelligent people, probably more intelligent than me. But the absolute utter bullshit I read on here... It's like they have two brains. A healthy one for everyday life, and then a diseased broken zombie fucked up bag of garbage for the religious discussion. I always just wonder if they know they are talking bullshit or not. I think some are genuinely that broken that they don't. They're so used to defending it any way they can, they stopped caring or noticing long ago.

I don't know man. I share your frustration. But I also empathise because they are victims. For all my problems, I'm extremely lucky that my brain wasn't raped. At least not religiously, I am fucked up in other ways thanks to my parents. So I can feel their pain in that way, I have irrational beliefs about myself that I have to challenge daily. But I do it, nevertheless, and I beat them.
