RELIGIOUS FANATICISM – ONE TRACK MINDS

We seem to be getting an awful lot of those these days and most are involved in politics and have gained a lot of power.

It is not surprising that some of these fringe religions demand total and unconditional adherence from their followers. We see it manifested in their unwillingness to serve their country, to celebrate birthdays or national holidays, to dismiss all social activities as too secular and injurious to their faith.

When I think of these assholes taking advantage of our country’s opportunities, enjoying the freedoms America offers, partaking of the freedom of religion concept and yet they are not willing to do one fucking thing to pay back or to demonstrate any kind of gratefulness to this country of ours…of course I get pissed…I don’t get pissed because they have a religion…we all have that right, I get indignant that they have no social conscience..

But it is the whole idea, the concept that these religions have adopted that their followers have to submit and completely surrender their minds and souls to that religion that I object. It goes so far as to even forsake their obligations as parents when one of their offspring or relative needs a blood transfusion. When you deny someone medical care because your religion prohibits it then it is clearly a murderous act and should be punishable to the full extent of the law.

These religions are so jealous of any celebration that does not include anything church related that even birthdays are not observed along with national holidays and important dates like wedding anniversaries and the like…that, in my book is taking it to a ridiculous extreme. 

It is seen in other religions in a much milder form…be it by demanding a certain way of dress or donning some garment of clothing that indicates their submission to said religion like some headgear or article of clothing. These religions will tell you what to eat, when to pray, when to rejoice and not dance and even when you can fuck or perhaps deny you sex altogether.

I often pose this question: What if anything is worthwhile building or preparing for a future that will never come? 

According to these religious fanatics the world is going to end the day after tomorrow and it is futile to build roads and bridges or educate our children if that end is so near.

I will say this as I have said before…I don’t give a flying fuck if you believe in little green unicorns from Tasmania and you hang from the chandelier to worship them. But when you gain power, when you get together with others of the same mindset and begin to make laws that affect me, that is when I put my foot down in the most vigorous fashion, as if stepping on a cucaracha which in my book they are.

            Free airtime for the religious right fanatics?

It is not enough to own hundreds of cable television stations that carry right-wing, religious fanatical messages…they own them and want more…they want the rest of us to pay our taxes for public television and give them free airtime.

Do you think public television should give free airtime to Religious Right propaganda?

Neither did two senior employees of Alabama Public Television who objected to airing a TV series produced by right-wing pseudo-historian David Barton -- a Religious Right activist who supports imprisoning gay people.

But when they spoke up, they were fired by the Republican-controlled Alabama Educational Television Commission.

Public television is beloved for featuring entertaining, educational content not hatred and lies.

Tell the Alabama Educational Television Commission: Keep Religious Right propaganda off public television.
