I went to Sunday School and all I got was this lousy guilt.


More proof faith-based religions can die out and we won't care:

For those of us who didn't have parents force feeding imaginary ghosts and wizards to us, the last 2 sentences say it all.


1.) If you didn't worry about religion as a kid, you most likely won't as an adult.
2.) Those of us who didn't worry about religion as kids, won't worry as adults.

So let's just stop with the nonsense of cramming pointless, inconsistent, conflicting, and ridiculous stories of fantasy into our kids. No wonder we're a bunch of scared shitless pansies over a flu virus - we've constantly got this monkey on our back: The boogey man is gonna judge me! And we're so emotionally crippled about it as a result of being indoctrinated and inculcated as kids that we won't do the proper, right, and just thing: tell religion and its leaders to go fuck themselves.

And while we're at it, it's time to stop claiming people who hear voices in their heads are not insane. They are. And they need to be treated for mental illness - not supported by blind faith (actually, that's redundant since all faith, by definition, is blind) until the voices tell them to hurt somebody.

Won't somebody, please, think of the children?!
