I was struck very forcibly about half an hour ago, reading about the pope's visit to the UK, quite how much total utter bullshit and bilge - the 'dogma' (always changing, always on the defensive, but always right!) you have to accept, believe in and live by, if you sign up to one of the big established religions.
Now I can kind of understand the average person taking a view that on balance there may be a god of some sort. After all there is still, despite Hawking's recent pronouncements, mystery at the core of the thing we call the universe/'reality'. That is a sort of defensible position, even if it is one most of us here would reject.
To take on the whole business of God, Jesus, the Pope/Patriarch/Archbishop/Imam thing, all the ritual, behaviour control devices, all the mind manipulation, all the guilt inducing claptrap as well!? What a load of utter bunkum!
And here comes a fucking man in white robes to tell us he knows the truth! FUUUUCK OFF! What a twat!
Apologies for the rant. It really hits home now and again, how fucking stupid and evil religion really is.

Plus it's just darned silly.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial

Re: The sheer fucking incredible stupidity of religions
The single greatest argument ever made against religion. The pope looks fucking stupid in that hat. Surely, a loving god wouldn't want his head honcho to look like a wanker - therefore no god - QED.MrFungus420 wrote:The Pope's hat.Pappa wrote:Tosh! Makes perfect sense to me.
