Before we scream for sensible gun laws, we need to get some go***mn sense first.
A majority of Americans still have a belief in a god who never existed: a god copied from gods written about long before YAHWEH 'came to life' in the pages of the Bible.
On top of that nonsense, America elected the worst possible person to our most important position--President--twice! How f**king stupid are we?
We elect leaders who act like climate change isn't real, and they in turn give money to gas and oil companies, instead of investing in clean, renewal energy products.
Yet today--after another mass shooting--people are calling for sensible gun laws. Americans are about the most senseless, most ignorant, and most clueless people on planet Earth.
If you are a Christian, and you accept that God can kill infants and you accept that--and still worship him, you are morally repugnant.
If you tell yourself 'God was justified' in killing babies, you are mentally deranged.
If you look at this act of murder as righteousness, then you are willing to accept and DO anything your cult leader tells you to do, and that is sick.
Christianity itself is the disease: it justifies murder in the name of God. It justifies the oppression of women, the enslavement of people of color, the stoning of gays, and the murder of babies.
What part of that are you still OK with?
If only Christians could see Jesus' family like this.
The racism that pours from the pages of the Bible destroys any hope of Christians thinking of the family of Jesus looking like this--with a white mother and a black father.
The hatred taught by the Book of God prevents the followers of God from seeing any god other than one that looks like they do.
While the Bible gives no description of Jesus--no color, no height, no weight, no anything, Christians have made Jesus look like them.
European Christians made Jesus white, so Mary and Joseph both became white in the minds of many Christians. If he did exit, Jesus was not white.
Christians should be color blind, but they have used race to separate themselves into different camps, not loving each other as Jesus taught, but hating each other over meaningless differences. Not one parable tells of Jesus denying someone because of the color of their skin, but this is how Christians have destroyed their own gospel.
Ever since Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde asked Donald Trump to show mercy in a church service the other day, some folks have attacked her while others have come to her defense.
I saw a lot of irony in her plea for mercy, however: how one cult leader (no one has persecuted more throughout history than the Church) showed the temerity--the outright audacity--to ask another cult leader to show mercy on those in his way.
The Church, in all it's murderous glory, has a helluva lot of nerve asking anyone to show mercy: ever heard of the Crusades? the Spanish Inquisition? the Doctrine of Discovery? The Church has refused to show mercy throughout it's long, sordid history, and truly has no leg of mercy to stand on.
I don't support Trump: I despise his very being. And like him, I also despise the Church, with all it's show and glamour, but little love for the people who they pretend to serve.
