If You're a Christian, Muslim or Jew - You are Wrong

We live in a twisted world, where right is wrong and
wrong reigns supreme. It is a chilling fact that most of
the world's leaders believe in nonsensical fairytales
about the nature of reality. They believe in Gods that do
not exist, and religions that could not possibly be true.
We are driven to war after war, violence on top of
violence to appease madmen who believe in gory
mythologies.

These men are called Christians, Muslims and Jews.

Osama bin Laden is insane. He believes God whispered in
the ear of Mohammed 1,400 years ago about how he should
conquer Arabia. Mohammed was a pure charlatan -- and a
good one at that. He makes present religious frauds like
Pat Robertson look like amateurs.

He said God told him to have sex with as many of the
women he met as possible. I'm sorry, I meant to say "take
them as wives." God told him to kill all other tribes
that stood in his way or that would not placate him with
assurances of loyalty or bribes. God told him,
conveniently, that everyone should follow him and never
question a word he said.

He sold this bag of goods to the blithering idiots who
lived in the Arabian Peninsula at the time. If that
weren't shockingly stupid enough, over a billion people
continue to believe the convenient lies that Mohammed
told all that time ago -- to this very day.

We live in a world full of insane people. Sanity is an
island battered in an ocean of frothing delusion. The
people who believe in science are the minority. The
people who believe in bloody fairytales are the
overwhelming majority.

George W. Bush is the most powerful man alive. He is a
class A imbecile. He is far less intelligent than the
average Christian. But like most of the others, he
believes Jesus died for his sins. That idea is so
perverse and devoid of logic it should shock the
conscience. Instead, it gets him elected, and earns him
the reverence of a great percentage of America. America!
The most advanced country in the world -- run by a bunch
of villagers who still believe Santa Claus is going to
save them.

There is no damn Easter Bunny. There is no Jesus waiting
to return. Moses never even existed. These were all
convenient lies from the men of those times to gain
power. Their actions were rational -- they wanted to
deceive their brethren so that they could amass power. I
get their motivations. But I cannot, for the life of me,
understand our motivations, thousands of years later,
still following the conmen of yesteryear into our gory,
bloody, violent end.

Jesus is said to have said on the cross, "My God, My God,
why have you forsaken me?" Because Jesus was insane and
the God he thought would rescue him did not exist. And he
died on that cross like a fool. He fancied himself the
son of God and he could barely convince twelve men to
follow him at a time when the world was full of
superstition.

Excellent marketing by some of his followers would later
rescue his botched effort. How many people saw his
miracles? One? Twelve? Eighty? Why didn't he show the
whole world? Not because this is some giant pop quiz by
God to test us -- but because he did not perform any
miracles!

Even his apostles can't agree on what miracles he
supposedly carried out or when he carried them out. Or
whether he returned after death or he didn't. Whether
they saw him in person or just as a vision. Rational
human beings shouldn't believe this kind of nonsense. Yet
most of the world does.

If a man today killed his only son to show how much he
loved other people, he would be considered a madman,
locked in jail and earn society's contempt. Yet we think
this is some sort of noble act by our Father in Heaven.

In Heaven? What, with the harps and the winged angels and
the 72 virgins? My God, how stupid do you have to be to
believe that?

I know most of you don't actually read your religious
texts, and when you do, you assiduously try to avoid the
parts that make no sense whatsoever or hide underneath
the comforting grasp of your religious leaders who have
concocted a bunch of circular logic (a crime to even use
that word in regards to Christianity, Islam or Judaism)
to shield you from the obvious folly of the written text.

So, I'm not calling you stupid if you haven't really read
the material. And I know how powerful brainwashing is. We
all received it when we were young and it is exceedingly
difficult to break its grasp. But people dance around the
issue out of politeness because they don't want to call
you what you are -- ignorant.

There are a lot of people I love dearly and respect
wholeheartedly who believe in religion. I hate to do this
to them. But we have killed far too many people, wasted
far too much time on this nonsense for us to keep going
in this direction for fear of offense.

Jesus was a lunatic. God is not coming to your rescue. He
hasn't come to anyone's rescue in thousands of years,
including Jesus. Mohammed was a power hungry, scam artist
and ruthless conqueror. Moses and Abraham were figments
of the imagination of some long dead rabbi. He would
probably laugh his ***** off at all of you who still
believe the fairytales he made up thousands of years ago.
He probably wouldn't even believe it if you told him.

Did I mention Judaism? The chosen people? Come on, get
off it. People walk around in clothes from 18th century
Russia, thinking they have been chosen by God when they
look like a bunch of jackasses. I'm tired of all the
deaths because we did not want to give offense. Orthodox
Jews are wrong and ridiculous.

As are the orthodox and fundamentalists of all of the
religions. It says in the Bible that it is an abomination
to wear clothes made of two different cloths or to eat
shellfish. If you think God will hate you because you
mixed wool and linen or because you ate some shrimp, you
are insane.

How long are we going to dance around the 800-pound
gorilla in the room? The world is run by madmen. It's not
just Bush and bin Laden. It is the leader of all of the
countries in the Middle East, almost all of the Americas
and most of the rest of the world.

Have I offended you? That's too bad. Stop killing each
other in the name of false and ridiculous Gods and I will
stop ridiculing you. Trust me, your offense is much worse
than mine.

Right now as you read this, there are ignorant, hateful
Muslims teaching other ignorant Muslims how to put on a
suicide belt. There are orthodox Jews telling other Jews
how they must never leave their "holy land" no matter
what the consequences are to other human beings. They
assure their followers -- remember, they are not the
chosen ones, we are. If we crush and oppress them, don't
worry, God will excuse it, and even desires it, because
He is on our side.

There are maniacal Christians who are praying for the end
of time. Who are hoping that most of the world's
population is wiped off the face of the Earth by their
vengeful and murderous God. Whom they believe is,
ironically, a loving God. Unless, of course, you make the
fatal mistake of not kissing his ***** and appeasing him,
in which case he will slaughter you and condemn you to
eternal torture. What kind of sick people believe this?

The kind who live next to you. The kind who voted for
George Bush. The kind who send their religious leaders to
the White House to argue against even-handedness in the
Middle East because it would prevent their sick prophecy.
The kind who have undue influence over how we use the
greatest and most lethal army ever built by man.

If you don't want to be called ignorant or misinformed,
then get informed. Learn the real nature of our universe
and put aside old wives tales about resurrected Gods,
omniscient prophets and a guy who could split the Red Sea
but couldn't find where he's going in the desert for
forty years.

It's the year 2005. Let's start acting like it.

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
