We Hold Atheism to be . . . aw fuck it.
In the last few months I've read quite a few books on the Evagelikal Brownshirts and arguments for Atheism, from Chris Hedges trip and a half (see highlighted sidebar) to Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. Many have been some fine works, while others have been a bit indulgent - regardless, I jumped naked from the shower yesterday morning to transcribe these thoughts to a water stained piece of paper: We Hold Atheism to be Self-Evident.
It all seemed so fucking obvious, once I had finally gotten this horrible realization out of my subconscious and onto paper. Atheism is self-evident. A priori, just like fucking congito ergo sum.
To quote the Ballad of Bill Hubbard (which I'm listening to now, trying to distract myself from the sounds of wii downstairs) 'lightened my heart if you like. . .,' this is what I've known since the fourth grade but could never get my head around. This is the casus belli of my pathetically late partisanship of counter-culture and socialism. I know 'self-evident' is a loaded term, yet I just know it is right.
I'm never going to make an effort to convince anyone ever again that they might want to consider atheism. Every developing mind confronts the reality of N0-G0d, and they either grapple with it or shirk backwards into something less mature. That's not completely fair, cuz religion is a socially transmitted virus. Those religions that are most effective at stunting the development of children and precluding the chance that they might ever achieve adulthood, are going to be the most successful viruses in the pool. Mother's once threw their children into the flaming mouth of Moloch, religious parents will lobotomize their own children rather than face the horrors of a child who might not reinforce their desperate, childish, world-view. Mongol remains have deformed heads, as the culture would mold the soft skulls' of their infants into cones - what damage did that inflict upon the potential for consciousness? And the bloodthirsty fucks slaughtered all civilization in their path.
Retarded theists can and will destroy everything thinking, civilized individuals have worked for thousands of years to make our culture into. Homicidal monkeys . . . aw fuck it. Just fuck it all.

What of religions, such as Buddhism, that are not theistic per se? Idle pursuits, or potentially valid lifestyles/pursuits?
i don't think you have to look past the council of nicea to figure out christianity is a profit game.
