Concerning Kobra and Religion
It would seem that many people are confused about my stance on religion, and there is really no excuse for such ignorance. No wait... it's not necessarily ignorance. I think the word "niave" fits most of you better than "ignorant" does. But I digress. After you read this, the answer should be clear and many of the people who think I'm just a "disgruntled nonconformist 'blogger' who hates religion because it's trendy" will see eye-to-eye with me on this issue. This is assuming, of course, that you aren't a spineless zealot who shoots off a forum post or comment without open-mindedly reading what I have to say, and that you can perform basic, simple logic.
Religion, when practiced in a reasonable manner, is something I can tolerate. However, most religions (I'm going to pick on Christians throughout this article, as I have more bad experience in dealing with bad Christians than any other religion) aren't practiced in a reasonable manner. Now, one might try to argue, "Entire religions shouldn't meet one person's standards," and you're absoultely right! Your argument implies they're capable of ever doing so.
One of my major gripes ith Christianity is the control it holds over its followers, and transitively the entire country I live in. In the lands of the free, we aren't allowed to learn a scientifically-proven, widely-accepted fact because it goes against the contradictive creation story written several thousand years ago by a man who claimed he could hear God's voice.
The Bible's creation story itself is reason enough to siphon the respect I could have held towards its followers. Apparently God is all-knowing and all-powerful, but he doesn't know how anything works. Please open your +2 Black Book of Brain-Washing to Chapter I: Exodus and read silently as your IQ slowly drops at a regular interval of 1 point per minute.
God put two greats light in the sky to illuminate the earth: the sun and the moon. But wait! Doesn't the moon just reflect sunlight? I doubt a shiny rock counts as a great light. "But Kobra. You just said it was written by man. The Bible doesn't have to be perfect!" Ah, yes. But you guys still follow it, don't you? And, more to the point, it's supposed to be the "Word of God" and therefore perfect (because your God is perfect. Are you getting all of this?). But it isn't. This means that your God isn't real or your Bible isn't the word of god, nor is it historically accurate by any stretch of the imagination. Therefore, it does not contain a valid creaton theory and Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection doesn't conflict with anything and it should be taught in schools.
My other main gripe is the power it has over American Politics. Let me make this easy for you: Abortion should be made legal for rape victims, vegetables, and adolescents. This will and all conflict and if anyone doesn't fall into one of those categories, they can always turn to adoption. Stem Cell research will make for a better tomorrow, especially with a surplus of fetuses from all the fourteen-year-old sluts and sexually-frustrated gamers who turn to rape. (Yes, this includes YOU!)
If religions would stay out of politics, and "concerned parents" would stop blaming science teachers because their kids refuse to subject themselves to ignorance and brainwashing... then I wouldn't have wasted classtime writing posts on my website to rebutt hatemail sent from an anonymous mailer by some zealot (presumably jesusfreak2006... or his mommy) and I wouldn't loathe religions for the ignorance and abuse of power I associate them with.
Ah yes evolution, but IMPO you shouldnt blame Christianity as a whole for that mess, Blame Idiots, or better yet, Catholics... Every decent person, christian or not, Knows that evolution is true; It's simple, It never says That Evolution doesn't exist, In the bible, anywhere... And, Two people lived in the garden, Man and Woman, They had 3 sons, One died, another ran, and One was Still around... Supposively, Cain, The one who ran for killing his brother, went and started a new tribe... Of what? Sticks? no, People... Just cause evolution didn't spawn Adam and Eve (And Lilith, Which isn't relevant, just whatever Book you are reading), doesn't mean it never happened....
"God put two greats light in the sky to illuminate the earth: the sun and the moon. But wait! Doesn't the moon just reflect sunlight? I doubt a shiny rock counts as a great light"
Normally I would waste time trying to correct you on this, or rather "explain" this passage, not correct it... But I don't think you are serious, so much as Bored and Throwing it in there, so meh.
Abortion... Vegetables? meh, Adolescents? hmm.... *moves adolescents to another column undesignated as of yet*
Ok we're good lol, suprisingly, I'm actually ok with that, Though I'm still trying to find a solution for The Adolescent thing... And I don't know... Vegetables? Idiots maybe?
Two (Three, Counting Lilith's) Races in the bible:
Jews - Those whose heritage is limited, whether fully or mostly, to the "Eden" Family.
Gentiles - Those who came from Evolution.
Alternatively, Lilith, the first wife of Adam, was supposed to have ran off and reproduced with many beasts of different size and shape.
This could have created the Gentiles, fueling the EVA series's "Lilin" title, which implies that the Human race is descended from Lilith. This is also the potential origin of the lesser demons, such as Succubi/Incubi, Imps, and other such creatures.
It is logical that the alternative theory could be correct, after all, The "Pure" Jews may have quickly become less and less prominent, having so few survivng members of that system. and supposively, Lilith became the queen of hell, IE Satan's Mistress/Wife, So demon spawn is also viable due to that.
I'm still trying to think up a way to put these thoughts into a understandable statement. I'll post when the theory is compiled accurately.
More than likely actually... and yeah you probably were lol, but I'm not lol
All these things come from My research on these topics, and my personal mulling it over continously until I'm remotely satisfied with the theorem I come up with
No I just get tired of fanatics (Both Sides in general) so I happen to read....... Alot....... So that if ever confronted, I can simply shatter someones whole foundation for Life and let them search endlessly for a meaning to existance... It is also very interesting to read stories and legends.
I find it interesting that Lilith is, if ever, hardly mentioned in the bible, even though she played an important part in the genesis of the Jews and Gentiles... I also am able to find metaphors and similar situatins in which may symbolize her. I wonder though, Why she, and many other things I've uncovered are not common knowledge, even to Devout Christians... I smell the lingering Odor of Catholicism....
In any case, I happen to read alot... Just read and then theorize, Which happens to explain why My logic is often bordering insanity
Jwguy is right about his staement about Catholicism. I mean, just freaking pay attention in my 9th grade history class I took last year. The underlying theme of the class was to learn how Catholicism has screwed up the world. Changing the bible, killing or silencing people who challenged them... They greatly hindered scientific progress back in the old days. Example:
Scientist: "I have proof that the sun is the center of the universe"
Church: "Blastphemy! You can't publish this theory!"
Scientist: "Can I at least speak of it?"
Church: "Well... maybe, as long as you say it's only a hypothesis and you have no proof."
Scientist: "Hell no! I'll publish it if I wanna!"
Church: "Well, all we'll have to do is add it to the forbidden books list."
Scietist: "Some people will still read it."
Church: "We'll label them as heretics."
Scientist: "And the word will still get around."
Church: "Then I guess we'll just have to kill you then."
Scientist: "On what grounds?"
Church: "Blastphemy."
Scientist: "How can you prove it?"
Church: "What do you mean, prove it? We don't need to prove it, we have the pope."
Scientist: "The pope isn't God"
Church: "Well now.... *scribbles in bible* ... now he is!"
Scientist: "You just scribbled that in, no ones gonna believe you."
Church: "You fool, they have to believe us, or they die."
Scientist: "What gives you that power?"
Church: "Our cult of mindless followers, and... *scribbles more*... and this page in the bible."
Scientist: "You realize you just drew a small stick figure labeled 'You' being crushed by a giant stick figure labeled 'Church'."
Church: "...Yes... your point is?"
