Although there's far worse issues in this country at the moment! Namely Muslims , who are unbearable to the point where they deserve to be ridiculed. Their behaviour us radical beyond the point of any normal thinking human being
So, no, not really. You didn't lead with the same points at all.
I admit this was worded badly. But again it doesn't say that it ridicules a race. I stand by the fact that the Muslim religion is out of control.
I'm not talking about your well respected Asian men that have came to the country and improved it by adapting and getting fantastic jobs like doctors, solicitors, accountants, IT engineers etc.
I'm talking about your naive Muslim that when he gets down on his luck he can be lead astray.
As long as people go quietly about their business then it's fine! As we've all agreed though that isn't the case AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME!
Again though, it could be white Muslim, black Muslim, Asian Muslim... so its not racist as it has nothing to do with race.
I just don't think religion adds anything to our current society. In the past I can see why it came in to play but now that there's a justice system and on the whole the human population thinks more rationally it just serves no purpose.
I guess this is to do with people's expectations though. If you think logically about the point of life it's basically just to keep our species alive. Everything in life is human created anyway... Money, language, numbers etc all created by man and given values. The earth is like a giant ant farm but with the added incentive of being able to choose your social status within it. Everybody plays a role whether that is being a fantastic mind and trying to cure disease, experimenting with new technology, space travel or working as a cashier at mcdonalds and serving people food.
As long as you're playing a role in society then I have no issue. At the end of the day when you're dead and gone then that is it, there's nothing more, you've played your role. Moat great things that we do come from human emotion.
We build technology for excitement.
We try to cure cancer out of fear.
We work hard to earn more money out of pride.
Now religion doesn't fit into this at all. It doesn't teach you anything, it's not beneficial towards completely goals. It certainly isn't beneficial to the survival of our species. It's all basically a set of rules and regulations on what you can and can not do. Other than that it's just a set of short stories with no living sources to confirm whether they're works of fiction or not.
I could start a religion tomorrow called McGoughism and no doubt some nutters would end up following it. If it gives them hope and motivation then fantastic, if not then what's the point!
What exactly is Christianity motivating people to do? Except for wasting their time praying to a God that may or may not be real. You gonna waste your entire life in hope that something might be real even though there's no fact behind it.
The overall point is that so many people even in this day and age as ever dying needlessly through religion. People that could be useful had they fulfilled their potential and used their energy in other areas.
The only thing that's worth anything on this planet is time! Time is the one thing that can't be bought and once time catches up with you it effectively makes you more and more helpless. The only thing we can do is use the time we do have to work to the best of our abilities and make things better for the next generation. Obviously trying to gain as much enjoyment and self satisfaction along the way
I'm probably digging myself a bigger hole here and end up making a lot of enemies but I'm a logical man that has his priorities straight.
