Dear Lurkers, I'm losing my religion
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:41:52 AM »
You claim the Christians that surround me are forcing their religion on you (oddly, I'm immune to the Svengali charms). You claim their god does not exist and we are all evolved over billions of years. You cry that when they want to outlaw the killing of the unborn or not give government sanction to unions that have no chance to procreate they are dictating morality.

And yet...

...all I hear is that I must pay for food, education, housing, medicine, clothing, technology, retirement, etc etc etc and if I fail to do so I am so absolutely, irredeemably immoral I am to be deprived of my rights free press, free thought, property and open political participation. You have deemed yourselves worthy to judge how much of my labor I will be allowed to keep. You will take from me to intervene into the lives of those who have chosen self-destructive ways for themselves and then you do so not to remediate but to sustain them in their self-destruction for as long as possible without gaining any change on their part. If I disagree I am wrong. If I protest. I am evil. If I complain, I am hated.

All of this is based on your moral precepts.

I can think of no Christian prescription to any issue that would take away from me in any meaningful way. Even in the case of abortion, being denied the legal sanction to kill the unborn is no more a disruption than sexual assault keeps me from getting laid.

Of all the religions I am confronted with, yours would do me the most harm.

Is it okay to attempt and make this go viral, SGT Bunny?

Go for it, but I cleaned it up for typos:


Dear Liberals,

You claim the Christians that surround me are forcing their religion on you (oddly, I'm immune to their Svengali-like charms). You claim their god does not exist and we are all evolved over billions of years of competition and catastrophe. You cry that when they want to outlaw the killing of the unborn or not give government blessing to marriages that have no chance to replenish society they are somehow dictating morality.

And yet...

All I hear is that I must pay for food, education, housing, medicine, clothing, technology, retirement, etc etc etc and if I fail to do so I am so absolutely, irredeemably immoral I am to be deprived of my rights free press, free thought, property and open political participation. You have deemed yourselves worthy to judge how much of my labor I will be allowed to keep. You will take from me in order to intervene into the lives of those who have chosen self-destructive ways for themselves and then you do so not to remediate them but to sustain them in their self-destruction for as long as possible without gaining any change on their part. If I disagree I am an infidel. If I protest. I am evil. If I complain, I am anathema.

A priest reciting scripture passed-down whole for thousands of years asks for only 10% but your bureaucrats who ceaselessly author new commandments by the hour devour nearly half of my working day.

All of this is based on your moral precepts.

I can think of no Christian prescription to any issue that would take away from me in any meaningful way. Even in the case of abortion, being denied the legal sanction to kill the unborn is no more a disruption than laws against sexual assault keeps me from getting laid.

Of all the religions I am confronted with, yours would do me the most harm. The salvation and Heaven promised exists only in your mind and it satisfies only you.
