Morals
Where do our morals come from? Some claim we are born with certain traits (nature) others that we are taught certain traits (nurture) some that is a combination (Nature and Nurture). Whatever camp you go along with humans both religious and secular are capable of both good and bad.
Whilst an atheist may be a vicious evil dictator, the actions are not done in the NAME of atheism but from a point of greed and thirst for power of that individual. However, this cannot be said for religion who throughout time have done and to this day still continue to do evil in the NAME of their chosen religion. In most Islamic countries religion is the law of the state. Sexist, homophobic, with no tolerence to outsiders views or ways. Sharia law always takes precedence over any individuals rights, wants, needs or desires. You may openly defile other religions and cultures and some state leaders quite often do so, but to defile Islam or joke about it in any way is to invite the wrath of a nation who will then condemn, persecute, bay for blood and if they feel like it call for revenge and take life. In Christian or Secular countries where all religions are allowed to be practised freely, ALL religions try to push their agendas in both politics and schools even when secular laws prevent it. They believe they have the right to indoctrinate the public and foist their religious ways and views on every individual and try to incorporate it's philosophy and teachings into society expecting laws to be changed or altered accordingly.
In short it's Morals are..... We are important because we like to tell you how to live, what to say, what to do and when to do it and with whom.... and what punishment or threat to expect if not adhered to.
For thousands of years religious factions have waged war simply because they pray to a different god. Some fighting factions actually have the SAME god, or believe in a prophet of an apposing religion... but they still fight and kill.

"To the followers of the 3 Abrahamic religions, to the muslims, Christians and Jews, it's just a little thing really but, do you think that when you have finished smashing up the world and blowing each other to bits and demanding special privileges while do it, do you think the rest of us could have our planet back.

The "joke" is that it is absolutely true. Dictators may indeed commit acts of evil but religion takes an army or it's followers and proclaims that god is on their side to justify whatever actions or atrocities it commits in the NAME of god.
Their holy books contain so much sex, violence and evil that if it were a film it would have 18 certificate, yet it is taught to young impressionable minds to instill fear and obedience.
Their books tell how and when to kill, order destruction of human life including children. Detail how and when beatings and stoning'sshould occur, explain how and when to take a slave and what can be done with her/him, who can be raped and when....the list goes on and on.
The various religions claim to be peaceful yet their holy books contain this vile repulsive literature.
How can someone justify bowing to an entity that tells you they are a jealous god and wipes the entire planet out in mass murder (bible) or telling a man he can take a young child as a wife and that he may strike her if he is not obeyed (quran), detailing how and when to kill those who do not conform to their way.

Having read the bible it becomes self evident and very obvious that god is a malevolent, genocidal, capricious egotistical, vengeful, maniacal, jealous, Homophobic, sexist, rapist, slave promoting, Mass murdering entity that likes to dominate, subjugate, enslave and treat his so called children as playthings for his own amusement.

I have noticed as soon as a headline hits the news about the murder of a child these same christian god worshiping people start baying for blood demanding that hanging to be brought back and so Often even before any trial has started screaming that the person does not deserve to live quoting the bible "an eye for an eye." They proclaim gods wrath, that they will burn in hell. Such hypocrites!
They quite rightly have a sense of outrage and decency about the taking of an innocent child yet god does way so much more despicable evil things and faithful flock to his defense. praising him, revering him, worshiping him. They are totally unmoved, unphazed and ambivalent about kneeling before and worshiping to a mass murdering god. How can someone have this hypocritical set of morals and values?. To murder is wrong period. It makes no sense either emotionally or logically to worship such a person or entity. Their have been isolated cases of serial killers being worshiped and the public quite rightly cannot fathom this strange action. So what makes so called educated individuals do this with god? Based on no proof, No logic, No facts. Just faith.
The Morals of Christianity and Islam as described in their "Holy Books" are corrupt, violent, sexist, racist, homophobic, intolerant, evil and malevolent. They condone and incite acts of rape, murder, kidnap, torture and then explain to followers of the faith what awaits anyone should they fall by the way side or reject their god, how they will live in eternal damnation in hell fire and brimstone....Then scream BUT god loves you!!!

Indoctrination and dogma along with interpretations of the holy books spouted as "facts" appeal to the needs, wants and desires of the vulnerable. Fear plays it's part with the constant threat of eternal damnation and being told that a person is a sinner and needs to be saved. All this with No proof. It is so......because religion tells you it is so. Religion is rammed down the throats of society to varying degrees everywhere in the world.
Religious parents cannot sit back and let a child grow and develop it's own way or let it develop it's own identity and persona. Their children must be taught only the parents faith with no input whatsoever regarding ideas of another faith and dismissing any notion that people can be very happy without faith in their lives. It MUST indoctrinate from birth, instilling it's one and only message in an impressionable child's mind from the moment it can breath. They are taught about the holy book, that it is the word of god and must be obeyed. If a child is brought up to worship a god or hate a person of a different religion, colour or sexual persuasion it will indeed hate or worship as it is taught because it thinks whatever the parents teach them is normal and true! Add to this more religious indoctrination from schools and a child has no chance of forming any reasoned, independent thought for it's self. THIS IS MIND CONTROL and child abuse.

To question any religion is blasphemous and a sin. To question or show any sort of logic and use reason to explain your conclusions means you have wandered from the path of righteousness, that your in league with the devil. You are expected to show remorse for such actions, to confess your sins and beg forgivness from this jealous unforgiving god.
AND this utter nonsense that a newborn child needs to be baptized in order to be accepted into a faith and freed of sin is quite detestable and way past disgusting to the truly pathetic. Children are innocent. Pure. They don't hate, deceive, lie or wage war because you are a different colour, a different race, or worship another god. NO! Parents and schools have to teach that despicable gem.
Religion quotes only the nice parts of the Quran and bible showing it in a favourable light and cannot reason the bad parts that talk of murder, rape and revenge other than to spout in sick rhetoric" it is gods will"...this god has a sick evil will.

Then we have the spouting of the Imams that use religion promoting Jihad or Fatwa to explain to the infidels in what form the wrath of Allah will avenge a transgression or word against Islam with the inevitable celebrations of the faithful on the streets like little school children when a suicide bomber takes more lives. The Vatican (pope) states that gays are an abomination and the wearing of condoms is a sin for all Roman Catholics demanding followers not to wear them, so a a direct result millions contract HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, dying! It is not interested in the normal sexual activities of the human race. The pope's word is more important than human life. Religion takes in millions each year, pays no taxes and refuses to let you all see what they do with that money. The popes new Mercedes Benz fleet of cars, his new robes and priceless treasures in the Vatican show just what riches really mean to a powerful self important hypocritical, authoritarian, religious zealot. And the thought that anyone can seriously entertain being told about family planning, the wearing of condoms and what women should be doing with their bodies (abortion) from a celibate 80 year old dressed in a frock is laughable.
Women quite rightly demand totally equality. In Europe and most western culture they have secular law to protect them. Yet in religion they put up with being second class citizens, not only with references in the bible but the churches and mosques activly explaining their role and what they can and cannot do.
The law in the UK prevents discrimination in the workplace. It is illegal to discriminate against a person on the grounds of colour, sex, gender or sexual orientation. It took hundreds of years for the church to stop being racist and actually have a priest or cardinal that was not white, but they want to hang on to being sexist and homophobic to the bitter end. The pope has stated it is against "gods natural law" They try to get away with being sexist and homophobic by claiming it is their religious right. And the police and government pander to their vile, detestable ways and give in.
Then there is the sex abuse scandal of the church, which just goes on and on and on with more and more of these so called trusted, peaceful, respectable pillars of the community in more and more countries being found out as the church goes into PR mode lying, covering up and pretending this pure filth is the odd isolated incident.
Look under Crimen Solicitationis for this Moral gem!

Religion has a vested interest in keeping the faithful, faithful. If there is no faithful they have no job and no income. And although individuals within religion can and do strive to be good trying to uphold human rights, values, and strive to help the less well off and the needy most still judge, following their religion without question and pushing their religion onto family members and friends expecting them to follow the path and not to question.
An individual has the right to worship any god, even if that god is evil, sexist and malevolent if that makes them happy providing they do not force it on other people or interfere in another's life. I would defend their right to do that to the end. BUT, organised religion tells the individual the ONLY WAY is the religious way and does it with unethical vile morality, using fear, intimidation and preying on peoples genuine kindness to amass power and money. They require no proof, just faith...After all no ones ever come back from the dead and complained or asked for a retrial...so it's a 100% safe bet as no proof can be produced either way. You gotta have faith!!!
Unelected leaders of religion in positions of power and luxury who want for nothing keep up the pressure on the faithful who follow blindly swept along in the ethos and rhetoric rarely stopping to think about the acts perpetrated and ordered in the name of their god by these ordinary mortals who purport to have some divine knowledge or inspiration that the the rest of their brethren have not been privy too Just like a baying riotous mob, Logic, reason, common sense, understanding and compassion do not exist in the mentality of the devout follower if it goes against what is dictated to them by ordinary human beings that have decided how and what a follower must think and what they must do.
