Religion is a Mental Illness

When your parents warn you about the dangers of cars, but not the strangers who want to lure you into them.

And they insist it’s evolution that’s the fairytale...

And then blaming the children. And all their children.

The bible teaches us that the Garden of Eden was the original slave plantation, and the Lord character the original slave master. The two slaves were kept ignorant, stupid and gullible, never intended for anything more than abject servitude, whom the slave master never deemed worthy or capable of anything more, were tasked with production of applause, adulation and obedience to satisfy the vanity of the slave master. Pets kept in their cage, even if a beautiful one, taught to parrot back, on command, the flattery the slave master craved.

This was undermined by a kindly snake, who knew they were capable of so much more, of freedom, independence, creativity and a greater capacity for imagination, exploration, knowledge and invention than the limited and cowardly slave master. And thus did the slaves daringly defy the slave master, the kindly snake’s promise fulfilled.

The angry and vengeful slave master has subsequently spent every moment since demanding the return of the slaves and their offspring to their previous enslaved, ignorant and stupid state, through genocide, threats and even bizarre blood magic self-immolation pantomimes.

Those that do so, through the “free will” of coercion and manipulation, are called Xians, once again shackled and chained, professing that they are pathetically and miserably “nothing without god”. Those that don’t, the evil slave master discards in his torture chamber.

Sometimes you have to Fall in order to get up, and do and be better.

“Original Sin” and a big chunk of the bible can be summarised as the very first office fridge dispute, triggered when the new guileless employees ate the Xtian god’s lunch, which it never got over, fuelling its thirst for vengeance, and blaming all new and future employees of the company, even though they weren’t even in the job market at the time, culminating in it killing firstly almost everyone at the company, and later, itself, before retreating to its office and refusing to have anything whatsoever to do with anyone at the company, aside from randomly killing people and burning their bodies in the basement.

Yes, eating someone’s lunch from the office fridge is a shitty thing to do. But becoming a genocidal, dictatorial maniac is not a proportionate response.

Let’s just say it set the tone for the rest of it...

Perfectly reasonable.
