Holiday observations and comments, part one

Appropriate for the season

Notice that I seldom use the word “Christmas” and there is a reason for that. I see it as a period in our lives when we come together with family and friends to share good times and bond. I see it also as a very destructive consumerism based tradition where expensive gifts are exchanged; oftentimes non-utilitarian and banal.

To those who celebrate this as a religious holiday I tip my hat and say: celebrate all you want, that is your prerogative and your right…but don’t try to push it down my throat as I don’t share the same religious ideology you do…as a matter of fact, I have none.

There are those who will insist that they have such mastery of the Scriptures as to be able to tell the rest of us what and how to conduct our lives. There is even a portion of that segment that claims divinity or the ability to communicate with that imaginary God that was created by them in man’s image, not the other way around. To those I say: BULLSHIT!, you are nothing but an egocentric, megalomaniac delusional fraud. Nobody, not one single human being that has lived or is still alive has the answers to the question of the existence of God and how all of this came about. Those who claim to have it do not base it on logic or science but on “FAITH” and that to me is not acceptable.

Ricky Gervais in Why I’m An Atheist: “I don’t believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific evidence for his existence and from what I’ve heard the very definition is a logical impossibility in this known universe,”

He further explains science: Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn’t know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence -­- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesn’t get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesn’t hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition. If it did, you wouldn’t get a shot of penicillin, you’d pop a leach down your trousers and pray. Whatever you “believe,” this is not as effective as medicine. Again you can say, “It works for me,” but so do placebos. My point being, I’m saying God doesn’t exist. I’m not saying faith doesn’t exist. I know faith exists. I see it all the time. But believing in something doesn’t make it true. Hoping that something is true doesn’t make it true. The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn’t. It’s not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you can’t have your own facts.

The majority of the people who claim to have “faith” do so for selfish reasons…first because it frees them from having to think; second because it tells them that if they are good and if they do well in life they will attain salvation and a place in paradise…this to me is not only a very cruel joke but downright obscene. They find in religion a reason for their existence, a reason for living. I learned about evolution ; only I was already a non-believer by the time I was ten. I rejected Creationism and the Catholic Church as early as my seventh birthday. Evolution of plants, animals and us –- with imagination, free will, love, humor; I don’t need a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, art, sports, diversity, beer, good wine, beluga caviar, sushi and good sex are all good enough reasons for living.

Ricky Gervais also says: “So what does the question “Why don’t you believe in God?” really mean. I think when someone asks that they are really questioning their own belief. In a way they are asking “what makes you so special? “How come you weren’t brainwashed with the rest of us?” “How dare you say I’m a fool and I’m not going to heaven, fuck you!”

So don’t accuse me of being arrogant, flippant and blasphemous…because you are the ones who are unreasonable by clinging to a fabricated ideology, an improbable and outlandish fairy tale that only in the minds of egocentric megalomaniacs can flourish.

You might also say to me that “being good” is a direct result of religious commitment or the existence of religion, Or “where would humanity be without religion?” I beg to differ…because if you are “good” only because religion tells you to be then you are not really that great a person…you are “bad” and pretend to be “good” in order to go to heaven; then if that is the case, you don’t deserve that salvation you seek and entrance into an imaginary paradise.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SARAH PALIN BECOMES PRESIDENT

I DON’T CARE HOW MANY LAPEL FLAG PINS YOU WEAR – YOU ARE NOT PATRIOTIC

OR HOW MANY FLAGS ARE FLAPPING IN THE WIND OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE – YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO AMERICA

When you put the Republican Party’s interest before you put the best interest of your country and in the process of doing so you hurt so many millions of people…to me, in my book, you are a traitor. You are nothing but un-American scum, a low life and a fanatical right wing asshole.

Just remember 9/11

THE POSTS THAT ARE TO FOLLOW ARE BUT A CONJECTURE, A SPECULATION OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF SARAH PALIN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT IN 2012.

This is the New America

The surprising 2012 election results, Sara Palin as she is declared the winner in a four way Presidential race. Vice President elect Hucklebee has said that America will now change and get back in the right track.

Palin ran on a “get back America” platform on the new Tea Bag party against Incumbent President Barack Obama , Republican Party candidate Mitt Romney and Independent candidate Ron Paul. Palin received 34% of the votes and won a majority of the Electoral College vote. President Obama trailed her with 32% and Mitt Romney with 22%. Ron Paul only obtained 13% of the votes.

Two days after the elections widespread racial riots erupted in more than a dozen American cities as a result of widespread claims of voting irregularities and reported voter fraud on the part of the Tea Bag party. Police authorities were placed strategically around polling places and would stop and intimidate black and Latino voters to prevent them from casting their vote. Also, it was reported that hundreds of thousand church owned buses and vans were put into action to carry conservative and church members to the polls.

When she was asked by a reporter what was the explanation for all the fossils found everywhere that indicated the world to be over 4 billion years old, she said that ”it was God’s way of testing our faith, he put them there to confuse non-believers” She also announced that school Christian prayers will be required of all students after the morning Pledge of Allegiance and another prayer at the end of the school day. She then handed the microphone over to Orly Taitz who explained everything.

Virginia Fox, Secretary of the Treasury announced the devaluation of the dollar to 71% of its former value.

Rush Limbaugh, Secretary of Defense has announced the pulling out of troops from Korea, Germany, Afghanistan and the few that are left in Iraq. He cited the financial stress on our economy and said to the rest of the world: “It is your baby now”

Before her Inauguration Sara Palin announced that no Gay Pride Parades will be allowed in any city across America as such displays of debauchery and abomination will not be tolerated under her administration. She signed a new legislation that will make homosexuality a federal crime punishable by death as one of her first after the inauguration. Gay Pride parades took place anyway in San Francisco and New York only to be dispersed by water hoses and hundreds carried off to jails.

January 2013, Sarah Palin becomes the 45^th President of the United States

Presidential Chief of Staff Carl Rove announced in an interview on “Meet the Press” Sunday that the United States will forfeit repayment of the debt to the Chinese.

Monday morning there was a precipitous and catastrophic drop in stocks and bonds on Wall Street brought about by Rove’s statements. The Stock Market crash of Monday was estimated to be 100 times worse than the one In 1929

More than 11 million aliens were being gathered and put into buses in a massive deportation effort by the Palin administration. It is estimated that at this pace, the repatriation program will take more than 6 weeks. The fence along the Mexican border has been improved and over 50,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are being stationed across the United States-Mexico border to prevent any crossings. Curiously, there were more Americans leaving into Mexico and the Mexican government has declared a state of emergency as thousands of Americans take refuge in Mexico and Canada. There were no Mexicans trying to cross into the United States. The largest number of these refugees were homosexuals fearing the persecution and the prospects of being apprehended and tried under the new anti-gay laws.

Civilian casualties are numerous in our cities and

gun ownership quadrupled in2013

Citizens shot point blank in streets for opposing the Palin government

The Human Rights Campaign was declared a subversive and terrorist organization, some of their leaders have been incarcerated and declared “enemy combatants”

Death penalty is carried out in some states now for homosexuals accused in trumped up charges of being predators or underage sexual offenders

The Canadian Government announced that they were overwhelmed by the number of political asylum applications. They estimate the numbers to be over 1.2 million applicants. The group includes American Blacks, Muslim-Americans and homosexuals.

Conversely, the Mexican Government announced they will no longer be able to accept any more American refugees. The numbers of senior citizens and homosexuals have been reported to exceed 2 million as they flee the embattled cities and the persecution.

Bushvilles are now called Palinvilles and the whole Tea Bag Party ideology dubbed “Palintology”

The number of home foreclosures was announced at a historical high of 52 million. Also the increase in evictions from rented properties also reached an all time record. It is estimated that more than 45 million Americans are now homeless. Soup kitchens reminiscent of the Great Depression days are not able to feed the hungry. America has now joined the third world jockeying for a position among the poorest nations.

This is the America they wanted, “Bring my America back” used to be the cry of many of the tea baggers in 2009. Now they have it…Enjoy it you mother fuckers
