Breaking News! – Pat Robertson Has Cracked the Atheist’s Plan to Destroy Christmas!

I will keep this short, because I am sure that you all don’t want to miss this!  I just got word – Pat Robertson (who you may remember from his bigoted comments about how 9/11 was the fault of the ALCU, pagans, feminists, gays, lesbians, and those for abortion.  Oh, and he also said that the reason for the earthquake in Haiti was because the Haitians sold their souls to the Devil) had discovered the truth!  He has discovered how the atheists plan to destroy Christmas!  Here is the link, now let’s go in to this amazing discovery that Robertson has made.

Well, it’s Christmas all over again.  The Grinch is trying to steal our holiday.

Alright, Pat, you’ve got my attention.  How is the Grinch going to do it?  I mean, with all the vast number of people, he would have to ransack a LOT of homes.  But, let’s leave the ugly details out of this.  What is his plans?

It’s been so beautiful.  The nation comes together.  We sing Christmas carols.  We give gifts to each others.  We have lighted trees.  It’s just a beautiful thing.

Yeah, that is pretty nice.  It’s the reason that an atheist like me gets in to the season.  I mean, with all the endless BS that happens the rest of the year, I am definitely down with that.  I grew up with it.  A lot of my atheist friends kind of get on me about how I am still into Christmas and still celebrate it.  Well, for any of you who want to know my reasons in-depth, here is a blog where I laid it all out pretty plain.  I like this season.  I think it’s a lot of fun.  And for my atheist friends who go on about how bad it is – chill the fuck out!  It’s a season about lights and decorations and presents and food!  The religious bullshit has been consumed by consumerism!  Trust me, I am going to be writing about that in this year’s Christmas post.  Or one of the ones leading up to it.  I haven’t decided.  Yet.  So yeah, this is a great time of year.  What’s gotten you so worked up, Pat?

Atheists don’t like our happiness.  They don’t want you to be happy.  They want you to be miserable.

Uh…what?  No, really, I don’t get it.  How did you come to this conclusion?  It makes no sense.  I mean, how are the atheists trying to keep people miserable?  By being all nice and stuff around the holidays?  By trying to be happy with our fellow humans?  I really am pondering how you came to the conclusion that atheists want people to be miserable.  Do you think that we’re miserable?  Well, while I may have depression, which stems from a head injury, I know plenty of atheists who are happy as a bunch of fucking clams.  So yeah, I don’t get this.  But please, continue.

They’re miserable, so they want you to be miserable.

I’m just dying to see what evidence you produce to back up this unbelievably ridiculous hyperbole.

So they want to steal your holiday away from you.

That’s it?  That’s your support to the statement that we want all Christians to be miserable?  Wow.  That’s just…dumb.  I mean, I have called you a heartless bigot in the past, who could give a shit about the human race, and couldn’t care less about anyone, since it is blatantly obvious that you only care about making money, but you know what – I am just ashamed at this point.  I mean, this is so pathetic that I honestly feel bad for the dim-witted followers who hang on your every word.  These people have no idea how sad and lonely you are.  You talk about how you are so happy, because you have Jesus, but a man who is as much of a money-grubber and charlatan as you, you can’t be happy.  I genuinely refuse to believe that you are a happy person.  Happy people don’t need to take and take and take money from people the way that you do.  Instead, I think you are one of the most miserable people on Earth, and you need to get yourself a hug, from somebody who actually gives a shit, not just some pathetic follower who you probably bribed to get that hug.

You’re a sad man, Pat.  Get yourself some love.  The real kind.

Christmas Brings out the Jerk in People

Let me begin by saying that I am not advocating for not giving people things and not having a good time.  What this post is going to be about is keeping everything in perspective.  I want to keep things in perspective because as much as I love this time of year, this year in-particular has made me face the reality that while I have a very good Christmas, I got to thinking about the people that I know, and who I care very much about, who did not.  But when I see shit like what I am going to reference you too below, I won’t lie, it pisses me off.

I didn’t get an iPhone fuck Christmas I’m seriously so pissed

That’s right, kids, for those of you who live in poverty here in this country, I am going to introduce you to a class of people who are truly oppressed – American teenagers.  As you saw above, they are really afflicted this Christmas season.  They aren’t getting iPhones!  Oh god, this is just the worst!  This is absolute hell on Earth!  Why, oh non-existent God, why?!

My parents are the worst mother Fucking parents in the world fuck you mom and dad for not getting me a Iphone. FUCK YOU. FML.

I know most of you already know, but FML means “fuck my life.”  That’s right, this little shit has the nerve to basically make it sound like he is going to swallow the business end of a gun barrel because he didn’t get an iPhone for Christmas.  Wow…just, wow.  That is inspiringly greedy.  The level of greed displayed here is nothing short of awe-inspiring.  Nobody can be this greedy naturally.  It has to be taught to somebody.  I’ll get to that in a minute.

Fucking hate that kindle bullshit. Returning and getting an iPad. Most definately.

Yes, because reading is such a bad thing.  I’m with you, kid.  Why read, when you can sit and pretend you’re playing music on an iPad!  Or hey, maybe you can make squiggles or any other amount of useless pointless bullshit.  But being able to read, that is so worthless!

welp…didn’t get a car. not trying to sound greedyy buht.. damn…

A little late for that, sweetheart.  I think her parents should give her the car, on the off-chance that she will drive it off a cliff and deprive the human race of her stupidity.

 Just cried for like two hours straight cause I didn’t get a car…

The greed of these kids know no limits.  This person cried for two hours because they didn’t get a fucking car.  Unreal.  You know, I’m not even going to talk about the massive plethora of people outside of this country who are rotting away in starvation, or being massacred in genocide, with the American people trying to show that they do care, while they don’t.  Instead, I am going to talk about the people right here in my own country who are suffering, really suffering.

I have a good friend who didn’t get a Christmas of any kind this year.  Her and her mother’s big celebration was renting a movie, and getting to watch it.  Both of them are just scraping to get by in this country.  She had no tree, no presents, no nothing.  And she was miserable this year because of how much her life had gone to shit recently.  It actually did break my heart a little to know that this person who is a very good friend of mine, whose company I enjoy incredibly much got nothing.  I wished I could have had her out to my place, to spend the holidays with us.  So yeah, you fucking crybaby bitch, you didn’t get a car.  Boo-fucking-hoo, you greedy cunt!

Am I the only one who didn’t get an iPhone or a car? Dang.

No, sweetie, you didn’t get an iPhone or a car, and you certainly aren’t the only one.  There are people in this country who didn’t get FUCKING FOOD for Christmas, you ungrateful, entitled piece of shit!  If each person who posted these comments on Twitter died, the world would be a better place.  Not one of them is worth anything.  Not one of them is actually worth the air that they breathe.  They are a waste of oxygen.

I keep yelling WHERE’S MY IPAD at the most incovenient times…think they’ll get the point??

If the point is that these people obviously failed at parenting, then yeah, I hope they did.  But knowing how stupid these parents clearly are, probably not.

I hate how my mom has to ruin Christmas be getting everyone stupid gifts..where the hell is the iphone I asked for?! bitch!

Hey Sarah’s parents, feeling proud?

Didn’t get an iPad for the second year in a row. I’m never celebrating Christmas again. #maybenextyearilltryhanukkah

You know, there are a couple of things that really get me about these posts.  1. That these kids just come to hate this time of year because of one stupid thing, and 2. That not one of these kids realizes that they are bitching about something that they are being given for free!  They don’t have to work for this.  They don’t have to actually get up off of their asses and try to make a decent effort.  No, that would be too hard.  They don’t want to get a job, actually work for what they have.  That would be asking WAY too much for these little fuckers.  Nope, you all are bitching because it wasn’t given to you for free.

Wanna know a nifty irony – most of these kids got their greedy-ass Tweets re-Tweeted.  A lot of them took their Tweets down when it came to light what a bunch of greedy piece of shit they are.  They put up new tweets about how they are so thankful for what they have.  Yeah, the ones who kept them up there, at least they stuck to their guns.  They didn’t have to shove the blind and pitiful hypocrisy down our throats that they aren’t complete pieces of shit, even though they are.  I am actually respecting the greedy jerks who kept their Tweets up more than the greedy jerks who took them down.

But where there are those who left them up, there are those who tried to justify their greed.  I shit you not!

 STOP FUCKING TWEETING AT ME , YOUR ALL RAPIST PEDOPHILES

Yes, we are rapist pedophiles for pointing out that you are a greedy bitch, Mikaela.  That makes perfect sense.

Lmao I tweeted about not getting my iPhone and all these twitter dick riders caught feelings. Can I live? lmao

There isn’t a word for how much people like me hate people like you.  They think that their greed is justified, and if we call their stupid asses on it, we are “twitter dick riders.”  Yeah, you can live, douchebag, but you can live with us hounding you, and hopefully ostracizing you from all decent social interaction for the rest of your life.  For real, you suck, and I hope you die alone.

Look, we are all a little greedy in this country.  I catch myself being that way, as I’m sure all of you do.  It comes with being in the richest country in the world.  But we don’t wear the greed that we have on our sleeves.  We don’t sing about it to people that we don’t know.  We don’t talk about our greed like it’s a good thing.

Now, I know plenty of teenagers who are like me – grateful for what we have received.  They probably also have friends like me, who got little to nothing at all this Christmas.  And we try and help those people.  My good friend I talked about above, I try and help.  I talk with her on the phone, online, letting her know that while it isn’t the best day, she isn’t alone, and doesn’t have to feel hardcore-sad this Christmas.

I hope you all had a good Christmas, and I hope you have tried to help the people you know, who had it hard this time of year.  Have a wonderful new year.

Until next time, a quote,

The Worship of Oprah

Ah yes, the great religious icon, Oprah.  Her church is a church that so many woman sing their praises to, to this day.  The books that she puts on her list are often piece of novel crap, but hey, it has Oprah’s name on it, so it must be good!  And back when her show was around, there was on event in-particular that really got a lot of praise – her holiday gift-giving shows.  The tickets to these shows sold out almost the moment they are being sold.  Everybody wanted to get in on the action, none of them realizing that they are the greatest statement of hypocrisy that has ever existed in the history of the world.

It is almost amazing how the hypocrisy of the modern celebration of Christmas never seems to get to anybody.  I love this time of year, even though I am an atheist, and I still realize that there is something so unbelievably hypocritical about how much the commercial aspect has infected our culture.  There was a story in the news recently about a woman who pepper-sprayed a bunch of people on Black Friday to get to the product she wanted.  The big problem now is that the cops are wondering if they are going to prosecute her, because if they do, that means admitting that they are all a bunch of uniformed hypocrites.

The fact is that the holidays bring out the animal in all of us.  And while Oprah was the most famous for it, other TV talk show hosts are taking a cue or two from it, like Ellen Degeneres.  But she made it biggest, and did it first.  Her “My Favorite Things” shows were always big tickets.  There was a report on NBC news which kind of summed it up best.

If you had tickets for the Oprah Winfrey Show for any day of this year, this was the day that you wanted.  This was her final annual “Favorite Things.”  All of the audience members will need a wheelbarrow to take home all their stuff.

Appropriate, no?  You know, if you take a look at the film footage of the crowds absolutely losing their shit over the hordes of stuff that they are given, it reminded me of a friend of mine.  When he was very young, his parents were getting a divorce.  Now, because both of them were trying to get on their son’s good side.  How did they do this?  By the two of them buying him more and more things, each trying to one-up the other.  They were basically buying his love.  A lot of people say that only works with kids, because that is immature, but for real, check out this footage from her show, and tell me that these people’s love was not just bought.  These people are going absolutely insane!  They are jumping around, screaming, even crying.  And not one time does she tell them to shut up.

Bill Maher really put into perspective what the problem is with these displays, and how unbelievably pathetic they are.

Oprah’s show purports to be a lot about spirituality.  If it was, then wouldn’t she tell her worshipping flock to sit down and stop losing your shit over material stuff.

That’s the truth, the absolute truth.  This is the new religion in this country – greed.  The love of money is the root of all evil, but it is also the new thing that people in this country worship.  If people had to pick what they value, I can guarantee that if you made them choose between a barrel of cash and the belief in God, the cash would come first, and they wouldn’t take a look back.  The fact is that the love of money is the new religion in this world.  This show, and the reaction of this crowd proves it.

Later in his video, Bill Maher goes on to show that the reactions that hardcore religious people have is often much the same as the reactions that people who are being given a lot of money have.  It is almost eerie, to be honest.  It is virtually the same.  It makes me feel a little bit depressed because I know that the world of religion often makes use of the new religion of money in this country in order to feed the aristocracy that it has.  Religion and money go hand in hand.

There is a new twisted paradigm that is growing in this country.  It is a world of money and worship, and all of the people are either too ignorant, or too apathetic to care about the fact that they are being used, and the love that they have for a cause is being used by those in power.

Nobody thinks twice that maybe they shouldn’t be screaming so damn loud when they are given material things.  Or that they are screaming at how lucky they are, never realizing that there are people in this world, and even people in this country, who would kill for the same kinds of opportunities.  The poor and the downtrodden don’t matter to them.  Which is interesting, especially since this savior guy that all these bleeding hypocrites say that they worship was all about them.  He preached living in poverty and looking out for your fellow man.  He talked about setting your personal desires aside and trying to help the least fortunate.

But that never comes up in the great homage to greed that this supposedly great humanitarian Oprah is giving mountains of pointless shit to her audience.  And not one time does she say to them, “hey, how about you all sit the fuck down and stop acting like I am a deity.”

Seriously, if you ever cruise through some of the forums that talk about her, to this day, almost everybody will be singing her praises, trying to kiss her feet (metaphorically speaking) and point out what a great person she is.  But what I have shown above shows that she is not a great person.  She is the leader of a cult, buying the love of her children with expensive things, and proving that she is not only not a good person, but she represents this new religion that has grown in America – greed.  Ain’t it fun?

Until next time, a quote,

“As for me, I don’t really know what spirituality means, but I know if you’re weeping over a sweater you don’t either.  Merry Christmas everybody!”  -Bill Maher

Modern America is All About Greed

Lately, I am starting to see a model that really just depresses me.  I admire the fuck out of George Carlin and how he was able to completely seperate himself from what this country has become.  He was able to laugh at the complete ruthlessness of the system and the people who live in it.  He was able to make a joke out of how horrible and how bitter this world has become.  When you look at how people are, how the world is, it is easy to see why people don’t get involved in politics.

The new prevailing theory among conservatives and, for the most part, Libertarians, is that people should be as greedy as they want to be, and screw everybody else.  I find this view morally and ethically repugnant.  Ayn Rand, while she had a few good ideas, had a whole philosophy that seems to have been based on greed.  And now we have an entire country that endorses this viewpoint.  It is tragic beyond all reason.  It really is.  Because, the way that I see it, helping other people and working together as a species to make the world a better place is the only reason that we are in this world at all.

I like the line that Keith Olbermann had -

Everyday since I started to think, I realized I knew a little less than I thought I did the day before about why we are all here.”

It’s a tragic statement that is true for me as well.  I sit back and I look at this world, and I look at how much we are consumed by the endless pursuit of money, and the endless pursuit to do better than the other people.  George Carlin had this bit about the Ten Commandments, and how the Commandment to not covet your neighbor’s goods is pure bullshit.  Coveting what your neighbor has is what drives this entire nation’s economy.  We are a nation that is built on the idea that we need more money, to have more and more and more.

When you think about how far we have come, how much we have done as a species, the fact that we are all so obsessed with little gree pieces of paper is actually quite amazing.  We are all so consumed by our need.  They say that money doesn’t buy happiness, but since it buys every single thing that is needed for happiness, I would say that it does!  I would say that it does more than buy happiness.  I think it buys existence at all.  You cannot exist in this world if it wasn’t for money.

Every time I hear some Libertarian retard or some conservative dumbass talk about how the poor are such leeches, I can’t even shake my head in shame anymore.  You see the rich, and how they are sucking the money away from everybody else.  Then you see the poor and how they will fight tooth and claw to defend these people.  I am beyond depressed about the modern situation in this country.  I have a friend who I care about more than most anybody.  She is in a really pretty pickle, because her family may lose their home.  A person I know heard that the parents either couldn’t work (as one of them can’t) or can hardly find work, and instantly wrote them off as people who didn’t try enough.  Stupidity, naivety, ignorance, and of a calibur that I haven’t seen in a long time.  Her hardcore Fox News loving racist husband I’m sure agrees whole-heartedly.

This nation has an illness, so does this entire planet.  I am with Carlin in believing there is no hope, and it is getting to the point that I don’t really care how it all turns out.  The day that the major corporations and banks like BP, Goldman Sachs, and the Catholic Church took over this country, it was all over.  The basic parts of human decency, like helping out your fellow man, they went out the window and were replaced by the endless consumerism that has made us all slaves to it.

I’m with TJ on this one -

So I ask all people of faith, if there is a God, how the fuck can you stomach him?  His universe is a shithole!”

Greed, crime, corruption, and the endless work of those in power (not the government.  Our faux government is just a bunch of patsies that our real owners, the corporate interests, can use to make whatever they want happen), and really being a bad person is just rampant in society.  It is so much easier to be evil than good.  Good requires rising above your natural instincts.  Good requires that you are able to set aside the personal feelings about things.  Good requires that you make sacrifice.  And the fact is that people in this country doesn’t want to make sacrifice.

The aforementioned person, she asked me, genuinely asked me, if I would want to give money to the poor if I had a lot of money.  If I was a multi-millionaire, would I want to give up that money?  The general visceral tone with which she had make me feel genuinely ill.  Like the idea of giving money and helping people is such a bad thing.  I am now convinced that I am a better person than she is.  I am convinced of this because I knew the answer in a heartbeat – yes.  Yes a thousand times!  I would give as much as I possible could!  I don’t need all that wealth!  I wouldn’t want it either!  I want to help people.  There was the single greatest speech in film from Charlie Chaplin, in the film “The Great Dictator.”  I think he said it best.  In fact, I will put the speech in its entirety on here, so you can know how I feel about the human race, and what I want for every, single, person -

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor.  That’s not my business.  I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone.  I should like to help everyone, if possible!  Jew, gentile, black man, white.  We all want to help one-another.  Human beings are like that.  We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.  We don’t want to hate and despise one-another.  In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich!  And can provide for everyone.  The way of life can be free and beautiful.  But we have lost the way.  Greed has poisoned men’s souls.  Has barricaded the world with hate.  Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.  We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.  Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want!  Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.  We think too much and we feel too little.

More than machinery, we need humanity.  More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.  Without these qualities, life will be violent, and all will be lost.  The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together.  The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men.  Cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all!  Even now, my voice is reaching millions of people across the world.  Millions of despairing men, women, and little children.  Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.  To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair!  The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed.  The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.  The hate of men will pass, and dictators die!  And the power they took from the people, willl be returned to the people.  And so long as men die, liberty shall never perish!

Soldiers, don’t give yourself to brutes!  Men who despise you, enslave you!  Who regiment your lives, tell you what to do and what to think and what to feel!  Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!  Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men!  Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts!  You are not machines!  You are not cattle!  You are men!  You have the love of humanity in your hearts.  You don’t hate!  Only the unloved hate!  The unloved and the unnatural.  Soldiers, don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St. Luke it is written ‘the Kingdom of God is within man.  Not one man nor a group of men!’  But in all men!  You, you the people have the power!  The power to create machines.  The power to create happiness!  You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful!  To make this life a wonderful adventure!  Then in the name of democracy, let us use this power!  Let us unite!  Let us fight for a new world, a decent world!  That will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future, and old age a security!  By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power!  But they lie!  The do not fulfill that promise.  They never will!  Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!  Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!  Let us fight to free the world.  To do away with national barriers.  To do away with greed, hate and intolerance!  Let us fight for a world of reason!  A world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.  Soldiers, in the name of democracy, Let us all unite!”

That is my absolute truth.  That is what I believe.  That is my mantra, my existence, and the reason that I am a better person than the one I talked about, and all those who think like her.

Until next time, a quote,

“It seems as if we are taught as young children to share, and then, as soon as we let go of our parent’s hand, we are taught to stop sharing, or at least to stop prioritizing sharing.  To stop sharing unconditionally.”  -Keith Olbermann, Countdown with Keith Olbermann
