A Warning Against A New Descent Into Darkness
In this short film from the final episode of Carl Sagans Cosmos the presenter shows how religious and political ignorance dragged the world into the dark ages. It could happen again so easily. (more…)
Damned Sensetive Muslims And Damned Cowardly Publishers
So it seems that Random House publishing house has pulled out of publishing a book about the ignorant middle ages merchant Mo and his noncing up up of a wee lassie. This book by Journalist Sherry Jones entitled ‘Jewel Of Medina’ featured life in dirty ‘ol Mo’s harem.It apparently objectifies the ‘prophets’ wife and is therefore disrespectful.
Well here’s a few questions for you.
Yeah? And? So? What?

Who gives a toss whether it is disrespectful to Islam or a dirty old paedo who lived hundreds of years ago. Why should any particular superstition be treated with any more respect than any other irrational belief? It’s absolute bollocks. These people with their ignorant and backwards religions should attempt to move into the 20th century. I know the rest of us are in the 21st century but one step at a time they are intelectually crippled after all.
Maybe these superstitious retards are worried about it becoming more widely known that they worship a dirty old nonce. See Mohammed married a nine year old girl and then consumated the relationship when she was eleven. I don’t care which erra you lived in or what culture you are from, that makes you a paedo and a complete fucking wrong un.
So shame on Random House for bowing to the threats of these barely human creatures and bollocks to those who see fit to threaten violence on those who dare write about their particular sky daddy.
Medieval Superstition Runs Amok In Our Schools – The End Days Are Upon Us!
The BBC report that a school girl in Wales has won a case to allow her to wear bangles that are symbols of her sikh faith in school. I think this absolutely absurd for a number of different reasons. First and foremost is that the schools does not allow ANY pupils to wear ANY jewelery in school for health and safety reasons. That’s no necklaces, no ear rings and no bangles. I find it offensive that this girl is given special dispensation because of her superstition.
As I have said elsewhere the only place that religion should have in twenty first century schools is in history classes. All religions are the product of our primitive past where we had little to no understanding of the way the world worked and when we were scared of the dark. That any credence is given to these beliefs is absurd. If someone wanted to express that they believed that the earth was flat they should be allowed to do so but they should in no way be allowed exemption from ridicule or scorn and should expect no special dispensation; no matter how deeply held is their fantastical belief.
When we allow, as we do now, religious freaks to be able to have their delusions treated with respect we set ourselves on the path to a new dark ages of superstition, fear and ignorance. Should the child of a fascist be allowed to wear the swastika to school because of the deeply held beliefs of their parents? Of coursenot! School is supposed to be a place of knowledge and learning where ignorant beliefs such as belief in deities or racism are challenged and defeated.
Liberals and many leftists will defend peoples ‘right’ to hold any belief they wish no matter how divisive of intolerant. People, they will argue, should be allowed to bring their children up any way they see fit. Tosh! Bringing a child up to hate a person because of the colour of their skin or their country of birth is not and never will be acceptable. bringing a child up to hate is abuse and those who do so should have the children under their care taken from them. The same goes for those who bring children up to believe in bronze age superstitions that pervert their view of the wonderful world around us.
Child abuse is not acceptable whether that is mental abuse or physical.
No to religion in schools.
No to faith schools.
No to child abuse.
An End To Faith Schools And An End To Faith
According to the Scottish Government there are 395 faith schools in Scotland which compared to Englandshire’s 7000 or so doesn’t seem too bad, but it’s still 395 too many. These ’schools’ are funded by the government and therefore by taxes paid by all of us whether we are rational or not. I fundamentally oppose any superstitious half wits ‘right’ to stunt their child’s development by sending them to one of these divisive institutions.
It is just plain wrong that anyone should be able to teach superstitious nonsense as fact and it’s absolutely out-bloody-rageous that the rest of us should be expected to pay for it. The teaching of the loony tune ideas of the supernaturalists makes me feel sick to the core. How can we expect to advance as a species when we allow witch doctors and stone age troglodytes to be responsible for our childrens education?
It’s all very well if you want to think that you’ve got a magic space daddy that is going to party with your ghost after you shuffle off this mortal coil but teach it to your kids as fact and you should have your children taken off you and you should be sterilised for the good of the human race.
Lying is not a good thing folks and lying to children is abhorrent.
I am sick that these wing nuts who hold ridiculous fucking beliefs should be afforded any respect from a rational society. That this respect is demanded and given makes me really pessimistic about our future. These beliefs should be held up to ridicule and venom on a daily basis.
There is no more evidence for ANY form of intelligent creator than there is for the existence of fucking leprechauns. Religious and spiritual belief has caused untold suffering all over the world and stands side by side with both statism and capitalism as the worst disasters to befall our species. At least capitalists and statists can provide concrete evidence for how and why they exist rather than the bollocks spouted by the faith types of the world.
For the final word on how I feel about faith, well the Abrahamic ones anyway:
Christians: He didn’t even exist FFS!
Jew: Stop mutilating your children! It’s not big, it’s not clever so stop it okay.
Muslims: I don’t care where or when you lived sleeping with a child makes you a nonce.
