Fellow Saganite, I assure you that I am on your side. I fucking hate theists and xtians more than anyone in the world. They do nothing but bring us down with their stupid fucking fairytale book that tells people to love their neighbors and give to the poor. It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach when I hear someone tell me they'll "pray for me", maybe instead of praying they should actually do something like PWN fun[dies] on Facebook and drink mtn dew like us. I actually have a 4 step program to rid the fundies if you'd like to peer review it for me that would be incredible.. Alright so here it is:
Rehabilitation. Teach the fundies how their god is not real. I think this would be successful for at least 90% of the cases.
Sterilization. If people don't renounce their religion they should be sterilized. This way, they die alone and won't be able to spread their stupidity to children and out breed atheists. This would prevent an Idiocracy situation from occurring.
Imprisonment. If there are still people preaching their religion after this they should be thrown in either an asylum or in a prison. They can make license plates for cars after that along with picking up from trash by the road.
Execution. Only after this all happens worldwide will a near utopian society like the one depicted in this family guy episode would be possible.
Proof of this method working though can be found within any decent history text book about the USSR. Despite being a "dirty communist" country the USSR transformed from an agrarian society to the first nation in space in a few decades by eradicating theism. The PRC also implemented similar policies during the 60s/70s which led to the confiscation of religious property and opened the way to the economic successes of today. Likewise, Russia's economic failures during the 90s can be linked to a rise of religion.

"It is obvious to any informed student of the history and psychology of religion that Jesus was one, of many, who had an intense experience of cosmic consciousness- of the vivid realization that oneself is a manifestation of the eternal energy of the universe, the basic ‘I am.’ But it is very hard to express this experience when the only religious imagery at your disposal conceives that ‘I am’ as an all-knowing and all-powerful monarch, autocrat, and beneficent tyrant enthroned in a court of adoring subjects. In such a cultural context, you cannot say ‘I am God’ without being accused of subversion, insubordination, megalomania, arrogance, and blasphemy. Yet that was why Jesus was crucified.
In India people would have laughed and rejoiced with him, because Hindus know that we are all God in disguise-playing hide-and-seek with himself. Their model of the universe is not based on the political states of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Persians, whose awesome dictatorships still hold sway through the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religions, even in the Republic of the United States. In Hinduism the whole universe is like the Holy Trinity - one as many, and many as one.
But they must realize that Christianity would seem ever so much more valid if it would stop insisting on being an oddity. Christianity has universality, or catholicity, only in recognizing that Jesus is one particular instance and expression of a wisdom which was also, if differently, realized in the Buddha, in Lao-tzu, and in such modern avatars as Ramana Maharshi, Ramakrishna, and, perhaps, Aurobindo and Inayat Khan.
This wisdom is that none of us are brief island existences, but forms and expressions of one and the same eternal ‘I am’ waving in different ways, such that, whenever this is realized to be the case, we wave more harmoniously with other waves." ~ Alan Watts
- Sometimes I think life after clubbing for 10 years is also a game of hide and seek, you can't get far away from this <<mikotondria3
- But of course, realization of it is not a 'end goal', which it seemed to be in my 20s. There's all sorts of other stuffmikotondria3
- to get done, and more difficultly you have to work out what it is, or just make it up as you go.
Good game though.mikotondria3
