What is wrong with ALL of us? I'm finding that even the atheist community are jumping on board the hate wagon. We are supposed to be the thinkers, the skeptics, the cynics and we are stooping to the level of the zealots with images such as this:
So I ask you... If we are looking down our noses at the people posting anti-Muslim videos and pictures and the reactions to it with disdain and disappointment, why are we posting images such as this? Does this not encourage them to become even more violent? I know that if I were a Christian and I saw this image, I wouldn't want to learn more about the other side, I would only look at this as ignorant and inflammatory and disregard the other side completely. That is the intelligent person's way of thinking. Can you imagine what the uninformed person would do? The people that have been brainwashed for the majority of their lives into believing that their god(s) are the only true god(s), that their way of life is the only way of life and all others should be exterminated. You need only watch the news or read the newspapers to find out.
It saddens me to know that our freedoms are slowly being taken from us because we live in a world of fear and ignorance; a world where more money is put into war and oppressive measures than into education and environment. Why are we okay with this? Why do we continue to feed the beasts and support the despotism? How long will it take before we realise that we are on our way to an autocracy and if we don't stop fueling these fucking zealots with our fear, civilisation as we know it is doomed?
It's time to put the guns away, put religion on the back burner and fix this shit. The first step would be to stop voting for puppets; you may be a Liberal, Conservative, Democrat or Republican but do you really like the candidates? Probably not. The major political parties have become nothing but one big melting pot for everybody's twisted ideas about marriage, women's rights, religion, etc... We need to focus on the major issues; taxes, government spending, education, healthcare. We, the sheeple, are so focused on the superficial because world leaders have brainwashed us into believing these things are more important than what they are doing behind closed doors. It's time to go against the grain and vote for the guy/girl who is thinking outside the box. Does it matter if it's the Green party, the Tea party or the Romulan party? NO! The name doesn't matter, the ideas matter. Do some research before you step up to the ballot box and think about not only what works for you but what works for society as a whole. Do you really think the same old ideas by the same old people are working for us right now? Nope. Vote for REAL change.
Every human on the planet should have access to education, healthcare, food and shelter regardless of religion, sexual orientation, sex or race. Why would we think any different? Because religious and political leaders have conditioned us from the day we were born to believe otherwise. We are taught that not all people are equal, all Muslims are terrorists, all Christians are good and anybody that goes against the grain will be persecuted and crucified; the bible teaches that lesson from the very first page. We ARE ALL equal; our bodies look identical on the inside and whatever happens on the outside is due to environment and our ability to adapt to our surroundings.
We need to stop nourishing the minority by paying attention to their silly antics. It's tough, but like children, they thrive on the attention they receive from the outraged masses. They want us to notice them as it gives them a chance to preach their hate and maleficence. If we stop listening, they'll eventually stop talking. Maybe, just maybe, once all of the religious bullshit is out of the way, we can band together and fight the powers that be. Those are the people we need to be angry with, those are the people fucking up the world and, sad but true, those are the people enabling us to eventually destroy it.
