The Power of Idiocy: brought to you by Religion.

I try to stagger these anti-religion posts, because this is a blog that is equally about hating idiocy and stupidity in all forms, and about heavy metal. This just really got to me today, though.

I follow George Takei, who most of you know as Hikaru Sulu from the original Star Trek. He is a supremely hilarious guy, and is very net savvy. He is also very gay, and very vocal about that, which is awesome. Today he had posted up a pic of a sign that reads "Bigotry wrapped in prayer is still bigotry", and in the comments, some dumb, ugly, Southern retard Christian lady starts proselytizing and haranguing the masses of the internet about how everyone will face judgement if they don't submit to God's love, and how the Bible is the Word of God as dictated by the Holy Spirit (apparently they had stenos back in the Bronze Age), and all sorts of other crazy religious shit. She wouldn't stop either, just kept spamming comments about how God is Love, unless you don't believe in him and then you go to eternal torture forever. That's the exact opposite of love, I think.

It is just amazing to me that people can willfully ignore contradictory fantasy bullshit like that. Especially when it's blatantly obvious that it's fairy tale bullshit. If you've ever tried to make the argument to a theist that "If God is in the Bible and you say that makes him real, if I read a Superman comic, does that make him real? Just using your "logic" bro.", you'd see just how insanely angry they get that you're mocking their faith. Dude, you made the rules, I'm just following them, if you don't want me to think Superman is real cause I read about him in a book, then you shouldn't say the exact same fucking thing.

The sick thing is, enough of these people in large groups can change the nation. Right now there are enough idiot Reich Wing Republicans in Colorado's House that they've passed another "personhood" bill. You know, those completely farcical laws that say if you use birth control or get an abortion, you can get arrested for MURDERING A COLLECTION OF CELLS. Sorry guys, a collection of cells is NOT the same thing as a person, and anyone who thinks it is is a complete and total moron who should be sterilized before they breed. I'm impressed there aren't more women out there who aren't completely enraged by this.

Republicans have swiftly become the spokesmen for the uneducated theists of America. I have no idea how such a swift decline in intelligence came about, but these guys are literally the most powerful people in this nation right now and are working to basically implement the Christian equivalent of Sharia law (essentially the same thing), and no one is apparently giving enough of a fuck for them to stop. I'm amazed there hasn't been an armed uprising yet against these assholes. You can't tread on women's rights, setting this country's social progress back by 60 years, and try to get hokey religious non-facts taught in schools like they were facts, without paying the consequences, and I'm predicting that the flashpoint is going to come sooner rather than later. People need to stop feeling powerless against this onslaught of religulousness and fight back. It's all well and good to be the benign atheist and just not give a shit, but the christians are going to take that as a sign of weakness and move in for the kill, and before you know it you'll have to go to church every sunday or face prison time.

Idiocy in large enough groups is  power. This is a fact. Fight back against that idiocy, with more than just passive book-writing and angry letters. Personally, every time I see someone putting up church posters and shit all over my apartment complex, I tear em down and throw them away. I just got an invitation to some indoctrination seminar at the local hotel, I think I'll go and act like an unbelieving asshole the whole time. If you don't like it, you shouldn't have invited me, douchefarmers. Proactive resistance is the only way to stop this continued invasion of the secular society America was supposed to be. FIGHT, METALLIANS! FOR METALLL!!!!!

Death is only the beginning...
