Religious people are dangerous. They can not think for themselves, but instead cling to every word the bible says. Religious fanatics can somehow throw out all scientific evidence and replace it with the word of one book that has no credibility. They want to spread their illness to the rest of the world and contaminate the remaining 10% to 15% of the sane population. Atheists usually know and understand what is written in the bible better than those who claim to follow its word. Religious fanatics want to convert your children and will stop at nothing. They want the right to force you to follow their ideas and beliefs and restrain any conflicting beliefs or activities.
Recognizing religion as a class of mental illness would be a start in curing this disease. We should develop support groups, maybe along the lines of Alcoholics Anonymous - “My name’s Mike and I’m a recovering Christian ...” |
I've been saying this for decades already. The Abrahamic (judeo-Christian) religions are like a plague, a spreading disease which kills the human ability for reason and logic. It holds back human progression and intellectual development overall.
I often visualize this earth as an apple with a spreading rotten spot on it, the rotten spot being the Abrahamic mindset. _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

I must correct you Ferre, The Earth has two rotten spots in your mind America and the Christians. I totally agree that these people are dangerous and deranged. Look what happened here and at the Hawaii ministry. _________________ Happy to be here. |

Read this kind of delusional rubbish;
| Quote: |
WESTMINSTER, UK, August 15, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A priest of Westminster, the leading diocese of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, has written that promiscuity, whether homosexual or heterosexual, can lead to dire spiritual consequences, in addition to the dangers to physical health.
Promiscuity, as well as homosexuality and pornography, says 73 year-old Fr. Jeremy Davies, is a form of sexual perversion and can lead to demonic possession. Offering what may be an explanation for the explosion of homosexuality in recent years, Fr. Davies said, "Among the causes of homosexuality is a contagious demonic factor."
Fr. Davies continues: "Even heterosexual promiscuity is a perversion; and intercourse, which belongs in the sanctuary of married love, can become a pathway not only for disease but also for evil spirits."
"Some very unpleasant things must be mentioned because young people, especially, are vulnerable and we must do what we can to protect and warn them," he told the Catholic Herald.
He also said that Satan is responsible for having blinded most secular humanists to the "dehumanising effects of contraception and abortion and IVF, of homosexual 'marriages', of human cloning and the vivisection of human embryos in scientific research." Extreme secular humanism, "atheist scientism", is comparable to "rational satanism" and these are leading Europe into a dangerous state of apostasy. "Only by a genuine personal decision for Christ and the Church can someone separate himself from it."
Fr. Davies' (an Oxford graduate who is also a qualified physician) comments come in conjunction with the publication of his new book, entitled, "Exorcism: Understanding Exorcism in Scripture and Practice" published earlier this year by the Catholic Truth Society (CTS).
In the Catholic Church, exorcisms can only be performed by a priest who has the "express" permission of his bishop. According to the Code of Canon Law, only experienced priests can be chosen who exhibit, "piety, knowledge, prudence, and integrity of life." Before the official rite of exorcism is used, the subject must also be examined thoroughly by doctors and psychiatrists to rule out any non-spiritual causes of his difficulties and physicians are often asked to assist during the course of an exorcism.
Fr. Davies also warns in his book against so-called New Age and occult practices, as well as trendy exercise and "spiritual healing" regimens derived from eastern religions.
"The thin end of the wedge (soft drugs, yoga for relaxation, horoscopes just for fun and so on) is more dangerous than the thick end because it is more deceptive - an evil spirit tries to make his entry as unobtrusively as possible."
"Beware of any claim to mediate beneficial energies (eg. reiki), any courses that promise the peace that Christ promises (eg. enneagrams), any alternative therapy with its roots in eastern religion (e.g. acupuncture)." Needless to say, overtly occult activities such as séances and witchcraft are "direct invitations to the Devil which he readily accepts."
Fr. Davies was appointed exorcist of the Westminster Archdiocese in 1986 after a four month training period in Rome. In 1993 he co-founded, with Italy's Father Gabriele Amorth, the International Association of Exorcists which now has hundreds of members worldwide. In 2000, Fr. Davies told the Independent newspaper that incidents of demonic possession are rising dramatically along with the increase of New Age beliefs and practices, ignorance of the Bible and a growth in spiritual confusion.
"At the centre of this is man's ever-growing pride and attempted self-reliance. Man trying to build a better world without God - another Tower of Babel," he said. In 2005, the Vatican recently made headlines around the world by publicly announcing the launch of a course on exorcism for priests
The Church's writings on exorcism and demonic possession say that a person can be influenced or even possessed by demonic forces when they are "hardened" in serious sin and the Church specifies that these include people who are involved in heavy drug use, violence and sexual perversions. It is also noted that the "heinous crime" of abortion exacerbates these. Italian exorcist Fr. Gabriel Amorth writes that it is particularly difficult to liberate a victim who is guilty of abortion, and that this can take a "very long time". |

Seriously, how-on-earth can anyone in his right state of mind be part of such bullshit-spreading group of fools. One HAS to be mentally ill to come up with this sort of utter crap.

Yes, and yes, I'm a fan. The man has the ability of pointing out what a load of nonsense those abrahamic religions are in a VERY intellectual manner.
Just compare the way he talks with the utter bullcrap most of those religious folks come up with (like that fool I quoted above) and you'll find an astonishing superiority in the use of language and common sense by Pat Condell. (Hehhe, not that it takes much to appear superior to those dead cult believers, but still.)
Here's his Youtube channel (I'm subscribed, obviously)

Honestly, I think these people want to believe in God because then they don't have to be accountable for their own actions. The devil made me do it. I had sex with 50 men because I'm possessed and so forth. I can sin all week and go to church on Sunday and that makes me a good person. These people scare the crap out of me. It's also all about the fear of not conforming, the brainwashing as children and the fear of free thinking. Ignorance is bliss. If your a free thinker you must be possessed. Atheist's are looked down upon more than pedophiles by these people. That's kinda funny when you think about the whole Catholic priest thing. Or should I say ironic? I find they argue from an emotional stand-point where we are more logical. They take our not believing in their god personally. I think alot of it boils down to intelligence as well. _________________ Happy to be here. |

I think it all starts with the upbringing of those people. They indeed have a mental problem but they are victims of the brainwashing and conditioning into accepting delusional thinking as "normal". It's all very dualistic and that confuses children to the point that they can't judge for themselves what's right or wrong any more and thus creating generations (and millions) of humans who lack common sense and rationale, simply because they've been thought to abandon rational thought and have replaced it with a fantasy world. When you think "druggies" escape from reality, try the judeo christian religions, no drugs can beat that. It's not a coincidence that the same kind of characters who use drugs to escape reality often become totally religious fanatics in some of the deadcults after they get cured from their addiction, they just replace a drug with a mental conditioning to escape.
Those religious folks tell their children there are no monsters hiding under their beds and secure them that monsters don't exist but at the same time tell them that there's an invisible man in the sky who knows everything they do and can see them everywhere they go, they also tell those kids about hell and Satan and such and tell them it's all real. Children growing up with such totally irrational and non-logical ideas planted in their minds never learn to think rational and logical. Normal parents (those who have no mental disorders) will tell their children that monsters, ghosts, deamons, etc. are just creations of our own imagination and apart from NOT real, nothing to be afraid off.
Normal thinking parents also teach their children that when anyone who tells them that "something bad" (as in=imaginary hell) can happen to them if they don't submit to their ideologies they are dealing with unacceptable delusional-driven blackmail and con-men,...or crazy people. In the case of the abrahamic sects, it's all of that.
Rational thinking parents teach their children not to trust snake-oil salesmen..and (figuratively speaking) certainly not condition them to join the snake-oil salesmen and make them believe that snake oil actually works, as those religious folks do to their kids.
I do think it can be cured though, I strongly believe that humanity can cure itself from this mental disease which has struck so many people on earth. I have a theory that education can cure this within a few generations and make it a rare disease, just as education has been used to counter analfabetism it can counter this wide spread mental disorder the same way. After all people are not born with it, it's a clear conditioning and what can be conditioned can be de-conditioned as well. Education is the cure in my view.
The hard part is for the world to realize and most of all to recognize and accept the fact that it's a (self-inflicted) mental disorder and that humanity can move on to the next level in our steps on the evolution ladder and progression once we cure ourselves from this disease which holds us back and often attempts to draw us back into the middle ages.
Anyway, that's how I see it. _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

I don't think you or I will live to see that though. You know this is kinda off subject but a couple weeks ago my husband told me how he was thinking Mary was a whore one night ,then the next morning at work he was helping load a truck with another guy and the guy just blurted out Mary was a whore. Totally out of the blue. My husband is still laughing about it. _________________ Happy to be here. |

I believe that there is Evil in the world (Through Experience)...I presume nothing else?....GOD must be the opposite!
Now how that Evil has over many generations being reborn here on Earth is something to ponder!..Eternal Evil?...WHy?
YES we can see the Evil as a constant factor of life or is it as they used to say..Death!
Now if I use the Holy Bible as my Guide book of life for life...in it are certain morals, concepts, covenants, Laws, Logics, Reason...which if applied correctly by all or by the one..would form a peaceful and harmonic estate (presumed)..gain a higher level of knowledge, save oneself from the fire of God's anger...reborn out of Death back into life with Christ Jesus...in Eden...(Presumed)
What has come out of the Bibles righteous morals are in our case senerio?...The breaking of those Laws, covenants, precepts, Principles, and Logics, to try to enforce them in a bent way!
If we Kill the Evil...we become Evil in the doing ..."Thow shall not Kill"
Break this commmandment, and you then break many more...for hatred comes from that...and is born by it...those who witness the killing, and those who loved the ones who got killed...turn to hatred of the murderers!
So The law protects both sides..
Now about Gay and Lesbians...God said he doesn't like the mutations/abomonations we (humans ) are creating through the practice of Idolatry!..and not listening to education of the biological sound knowledge of the reproductive organs!
You may or may not believe in this part , but it is the first and second commandment God gave Moses!
No ingraven images worshipped more than GOD!
Now draw a line to MONEY...Jesus Kicked that thing out of his fathers house!
And those holding it tested Jesus , while asking him about the tax and the denarie (Roman Coins/Money) Jesus said to give it back to Caesar (and hold it no longer)(removed texted?) and Give onto God what belongs to God (obediance of the laws GOD MADE WITH MOSES)
And here is where it all went wrong...they kill JESUS.....and before Jesus....The Jews went to war (murdering and killing) in the name of God...to get what they coveted "THE PROMISED LAND?"
God clearly says He will remove them from the lands before hand!...and at his leasure....
And he asked them to spy the lands and get the seeds...
Why? .....to make Eden in the wilderness ofcourse!
Now because they did not listen to God, they coveted the lands of Canna...and went to war...Killing and coveting what was not theirs!
After they conquered that, by breaking the commandments...Jesus came to right the wrongs they committed..or were about to commit with ROME>.
Now you may say that Religion of Abraham is invalid for you...but to post such lies about it with out taking any of the steps needed to comply to it is only mockery of it!
And that disrespecting others beliefs, and spreading lies about it, are what Get the fanatical religious in a uproar!
Same with Gay and Lesbian wedlock...Do it by the civil code...not by the holy code!
Thus they can marry, just not in front of God's holy estate or by Gods holy estate...if it be a abomonation to the lord...then why test God's anger?
Respect...the wedlock which is for "Man and Woman" alone..should not be profaned...for if they allow Gays and Lesbians...it leads to other abomonations rights to the wedlock...and it can be very bent it seems!
As I have word, and have witnessed Beastiality on video, internet...Something that leads to this kind of thinking is what??????????
Now Jesus says "LET THEM BE EVIL< LET EM BE FILTHY<LET THEM BE HOLY<LET THEM BE RIGHTEOUS...my rewards are with me!
So we cannot kill em?...Nope..but we can all be truthful, and this makes righteousness!
And when righteousness is born...Holiness is the resulting factor!
So Gay and Lesbians are a mutation, from being born under the IDOL God said not to make!
All the crime (Your making a den of robbers and theive) Jesus said while kicking the money out of his fathers house!
And the kicker is Money bribed certain people, to motivate Jesus's death...wonder why God hates the IDol?
But out of all that...Jesus had no sin..and could not sin...thus God saw favour in Him and raised him from the death this world has fostered into our minds!
For this world is for dead things, or things that continually sin to gain it!
Truth?...what is the truth...draw your lines straight and to the point, be ready to prove your points with facts!
What has caused the defiling of the Holy Books, is bent humans who cannot comply to the laws, covenets, precepts, and moral truths this book holds.
Judgement starts when it is defiled completely by Evil doers!
So mocking the holy books is disrespectful to the human condition.
And you have EVIL in the world...
And with that proof...you can draw lines as to why, and what, and who is behind it all....$atan!
Now $atan rules the Idolic world, and the Earth is Ruled By Christ Jesus and God!
Is there going to be a clash of titans?
Armaggedon?
Woe and Wrath?
Well let us take a look at what it says in the Holy book shall we?
Plagues, Pestulences, violant storms of destruction, shaking of the nations (WTC 9/11) and other things the riders of the four horsemen do!
Yes I can see them riding in glee....
And now the virus, and bacteria all waging war on EVIL sinners who continually sin and do what is EVIL...knowing right from wrong!
Biologically Gays and Lesbians are in error, and should correct the spirit of their making...or conform to their organs...
Now another oddity...A gay should wed a lesbian...it would solve the problem correctly!..for they state I'm a woman in a mans body, and I am a man in a womans body...
But that is my logic...They cannot reason it out in that way...cause they hate the truth of it.
Now Jesus says let em be....and save oneself from it by doing service in the Garden sinlessly !
"THose who do the will, shall fulfill the word, and restore EDEN to a holy estate!
That all depends on the helpers....No more Evil doers...No more death!
Can it be true?.
Well if we continue to make death a constant..with bad lies, and disrespecting peoples right to their beliefs that are morally good...then this world deserves Death....and So My God acts on the actions Evil doers do!
And judges accordingly!
If you support this warfare and killing and mockery and disrespect....you deserve it.
The mental problems arise from Lies and liars living under Idolatry for too long, killing those who have another way of life!
Democracy is a lie!
Free trade is another lie!
Liberty and freedom..yet again another lie!
How many lies does $atan tell?...and so the outcome is a lie!
That is why Gays and lesbians are born!
People believe in the lies and liars and their bent idolatry more than God!
And it leads to destruction!...YEP!
Global warning!
Mad cows
Sick chickens
tainted fish
beached whales
disapearing insects
Drought
Fire season
hurricanes
cyclones
tropical storms
tornadoes
electrical storms
hail...etc...etc...etc
See any of these signs lately?
Wonder I do!
Now because many moons have transpired, and we have 6 billion people, and many nations joined in with Idolatry....and we see the incestual house, the pedophiles, the rapists, criminals, murderers, and bent laws prohibiting the cultivation of certain plants (that make holy ground when sown sinlessly) We can draw lines to the holy books spoken truths, and reasons for making certain laws to abide by!
First law of thumb...respect the enviroment to which we live in.
This first instruction is given in Genesis 2:15...in accordance to what God made Good! Genesis 1:12, 1:29 and has given us Genesis 9:3 to use in a holy way and make Edens...the multiplication of EDEN.
Now was that hard to phantom?
God says he gives to all life that obey...freely!
Thus we can live for free because God says that sharing everything is better than being selfish!
And we know humans are now becoming very selfish with their conduct onto all life!
Pollution of the elementals...poisoning their crops, and removing their food supplies to grow genetically modified foods that only humans can eat safely???...
I don't know about that... but who sits down with the other life forms and asks them if they want to go to war?
Ah..the chair at the table with God is all life.
And all life has the right to judge and be judged...to make actions arise that are good...or ...bad!
Now our actions speak of our intent...this world humans are making is violating the Enviroments eco systems!
If we continue to go down the road of industrial madness...the planet will eventually be so polluted nothing will live in it...and then where is this money/wealth going to bring you and me and them?
To canabalizum?
And after that?...the final death?
the second death?
the third death?
the fourth death?
Ah the bible says the second death... wonder why?
Now in order to make peace....God extends the ideal of forgiveness of sins...If No more sin is done!
And I can still see sin/evil in the world...So Jesus asks God to forgive them they know not what they do....2000 years after his death and saying it?.....oh they know what they do now!....the thing is they don;t care!!
