You can't choose.
It is part of the "mileu" so to speak.
What my rant was about wasen't so much a particular annoying fundie,
I don't associate with religion salespeople...
It's more the pervasive influence everywhere.
For example say I'm watching Adult Swim and here an ad for Christian Music comes on and I hear the vomitile servile glory crap SoI grab the remote and hit mute it,but out of the corner of my eye(while waiting for Aqua teens) I see the dazed idiots with thier hands up,and I get triggered, and memories intrude.
Yeah I know it's my problem that I get triggered but I didn't put it there!
And I haven't been able to undo that one yet..But I like Adult Swim and there ain't much TV I like to watch.
Then you got the president chimpy,telling the world crap like god is guiding his rPesidency as he takes us into war over a LIE,(no wonder he is such an ass,and he is so sick)And politicians invoke god ,And it makes me cringe.To think the president is not only stupid but a bible literalist..it freaks me out.Obviously he should not be trusted to be capable of thinking soundly if he thinks god directs his every move,and he believes in armageddon especially with forigen policy in the middle east!
Then the poster above calling arabic people"Rag Heads" The fucking bigotry of that comment is so fallwell it makes me sick,FYI.
Allah(correct spelling of the muslim god for the bigot's benifiet so she won't look so ignorant when she shows her ass) Is not much better morally than Yaweh or any other abrahamic or authoritarian based reward and punishment kind of sick diety..Jesus,Allah same gross god different font.
The Palistinians and Iraqis have been exploited by corporations,American ones like Haliburton for years.Thier babies are deformed with depleted uranium and unexploded daisy cutters and mines from our bombs, blow random kids animals and innocent adults who touch them to bits.The Iraqis have suffered horrors at the hands of our crazy bully mercinary corporate military,Horror we here in America have seen on 9/11, except the Iraqis have a 9/11 every day.No wonder they become terrorists they are being abused by an overwhelming tyrannical force that is occupying thier country and abusing thier families.The Iraqis don't have many options to say no to domineering America in a way that says how much they mean it .And our taxes fund awful shit like Abu Gharib and the torture of prisoners and rape of iraqi kids..by sadistic rednecks like England,and our evil" intellegence".(I hope England's baby is taken from her when it's born she is an obvious sadistic abuser of human beings with no compassion or morality in her.)
Bush's best business buddies are the Saudis (the short sighted car dependant suburbian lifestyles we have bought into and call the American Dream are partly to blame here).
Remember most of the 9-11 perps were Saudis ..and none were Iraqi.. Rumsfeld and his kind of people in the disgusting reagan admin funded and set up The taliban(to battle russia to steal caspian sea oil in afganistan that was really just sludge hence no humanitarian aid going to them now ) And The US set up and funded Saddam's regime too .
In my opinionit's the rich machivellian traitor Ceo's,the ultra rich unaccountable PIGS that are loyal to nobody but themselves are whom is to blame for ruining and stealing all over the planet.. it is THEY who need people to go to wars ,buy shit they don't need,be distracted with traumas and religion,they set up and profit from ,They need bigotry and fear in people's hearts,the wealthy political parasites underfund child protection services,disability and the social safety net because they want people insecure because it means cheap labor and they want to kill off the poor slowly.It's because they know traumatized people are easier to control,use, manipulate and exploit.Religion is a tool of tyrants that puts catch 22's in your mind.Servile and cocercive religions like Christianity is a great tool for these so called'elite'people to control people with .Teaching scared parents that to fear god is "good" and so it's easy for parents to inject it into thier chattel,thier kids ..So the next generation is traumatized ,too messing up social transformation of consiousness, stuck in a position of fear,reaction and servility preventing advances in human equality,mental heath,and community solidarity and empowerment .It's because they know they plunder the wealth of nations because they can get away with it, they are hypocrites,and they know if we knew who they are and understood the extent of the damage they do to us all we'd depose them and take thier wealth and power back throw away thier religions and work ethics,and help each other heal and never let smmoth talking promise making sociopaths like that no matter how normal they appear have any authority or trust..once they become corrupt enough to try to convince whom they govern they require privacy or blind obedience and faithful loyalty.
But it takes emotional strength to look at ugly realities like this and not call it conspirasy or some such dissmissive term so you never have to feel the shame of being a slave who was fooled with the illusion of freedom.To never aknowlege your level of sucess and weath enjoyed here in America requires someone else to go without.
It is the kids of the poor who are forced by poverty pressure or draft go to the frontlines in a war,not senators or Ceo's kids.
So When I speak of Christianity I see deep social double standards that drive societies into internal conflicts.. I see the cognitive pain of a damaging catch 22 tear an individual whom I love apart,I see terrorized kids who because they are young,and don't get metaphors can't wrap thier mind around the concepts like original sin or eternal torture in hell spouting off crap thier church teaches in the grocery store...Preachers couching eternal torture or the book of Joshua genocide as "good" in a world of suffering allegedy made by an all loving God is the worst sort of moral relativism mindfuck ever invented.
I see people everyday, anywhere struggling with things like being exploited,being told lies,being used,hurt,discounted ,humiliated,abused..Wanting something more powerful than calgon to take them away from this existensial suffering...And Christianity is a big huge poisonous lie to put salt in the wounds our existance in a world full of traumas causes..to hearts.
So I am accosted one way or another all the time by the big pervasive christian lie or it's horrible effects. I can't escape it.
It's in my memories, in my partner's traumas,my mom is Christian (she doesen't bring it up but she has a bible in the livingroom and when I see it I want to get my lighter out),It's in stupid christian commercials,on non religious channels,It's bigotry slyly fostered by rightwing fundies like fallwell(the rag head comment, or my transgender freind roxy getting rocks tossed at her because she is the wrong gender in the wrong clothing according to the bible,.It's another dickwad coming up to me as if they were freindly and starting a normal enough conversation... and then on the sly he's bringing up the proseletyzing.)It's all the "Under Gods" and "In God We Trust " bullshit,It's jesus fishes on Environment killing SUV's with 1 person in it ,using oil like it's water,oil that fund the Saudis who fund the Tailiban who did 9/11 that got Bush the boy king with a personal pipeline to Jesus, the monster mindfuck on a stick, that constitution destroying patriot act rushed through a congress who didn't even bother to READ it before they made the fucker a law.
Oh and Do not get me started on asscrack,Oh,Ashcroft..I know how crazy Assemblies of God is firsthand ,I was in that sick bullshit for two years and was royally manipulated and tithed(robbed by cocercion and new age seed money kinds of amway like bible theory)when I was emotionally vunerable trying to get off SSI because I felt like a loser because in our culture if you don't try to get a job and be in dee pen dant you are somehow less than dirt..(puritan christian work ethic kinda lies("Success"What do YOU doi for a living questions that makes everyone who is on the dole and ashamed of it because they half believe the pulling up bootraps crap republicans self servingly cram down the poor people's throats as kids .The bullshit carrot kids learn to strive for,in this cocercive abusive ,poverty strife,and greed driven culture starting from day one).(Daddy wants a doctor, mommy wants a lawyer,kid wants to be who they want to be as soon as they figure it out)
Shit why do we pay the wealthy who have plenty just to exist (food once grew out of the Earth for free,and water was free until someone decided they were entitled to OWN it all and too many fools believed them...)while others who contribute nothing but bullshit are entitled to lives of ease and luxury based on familial ties,old boy networks,class,based in thievery and usury done by robber baron warloards using child labor to build thier financial wealth on the backs of"lesser" people?
The fundie republicans criminalize poverty, just ask a homeless person,
And the republican fundies think proof that they are chosen by god is thier inherited stolen wealth and thier lording over poor people.They don't work they don't need they just want and get... but these rich jerks who never have to scrape by, think they are capable of determining how much the poor should be able to survive on in thier sicko self serving classist system they convinced the masses isn't classest using the Horatio Algier myth built upon the old lie that Christian Puritan work Ethic?
Over the Gate of Auswitch which Prescott Bush helped fund it said "Work makes you free". What a phenomenal load of shit.I don't see any debutantes washing toilets or digging ditches do you?? And they have more freedom from the rigors of struggle for survival than anyone else I know.
And Jesus helps monsters and creates monster out of people and it puts monsters in hearts and minds.Monsters people are duped into calling good until the moral relativism makes them morally destitute and ruined waiting to hear gods voice to tell them,right or wrong,rifling through bible to find out..Never questioning the evil is in god thier god who thought it was great sport to convince Abraham that sacrficing his son, a murder ,turned attempted murder,is good.I bet Issac was terrified.The bible convienently has nothing to say about Issacs feelings about nearly being killed by his own father the fanatic listening to voices.
So yes I am very frustrated. and sad..
Because I care..I care about quality of life,my life and everyones elses life. I am aware it does not have to be like this if people would just stop running away..and evading the existential reality and seek to take away it's power to opress them..I am a social creature,and I have empathy too.And a moral understanding of right and wrong based in my empathy and experinces.
I can't live in a closet and just choose not to live because Christianity has so polluted other people and invaded public space..
Frankly this craziness,bigotry,fanaticism, and abuse of power going on right now can be seen almost everywhere it scares the living shit out of me. But someone somehere has to say it,nobody else does.So when we all evade things stay sick like this.
