...the promise of Christianity is that if you believe their nonsense and do as you`re told...falling on your knees and begging forgiveness of the air when you fail...you will get the incredible prize of everlasting life. This is a marvellous deal..you have to admit...it also, luckily, keeps you satisfied with the shit you must eat here on earth...because you`ll get steak in the sky.

If you believe this stuff you`re halfway to being nuts or childlike for the rest of your life..either way is fine to those who won`t settle for less than steak in THIS life and look to have even more later...if there is such a thing as later...but why take chances...right?

We`ve been bouncing back and forth for at least 500 years between believing this crap and scoffing at it...never able to just walk away and let the whole silly thing slide. Indeed this stuff will keep you immature...so it can always be pointed out that you "need" this "consoling faith"...else you`ll be afraid of the dark.

Andy, our urinated priest, told me in all seriousness that we need these little lies..these fantasmas in order to make people behave decently. That`s like saying it`s better to keep adults childlike..so they`ll be easier to "teach". Only trouble with that is that you then place weapons and power into the hands of these same "childlike" adults..and they see EVIL everywhere they don`t see a mirror image of themselves.

I hear parents tell their children to behave or else..."the police will come"...or, " the doctor will have to give you an injection". The fact that this tactic "works" at all convinces them they did the right thing..how else could they have taught their kid..right? But these parents are limited precisely because they too were treated in this fashion and never matured beyond such scare tactics.

If we start treating children like responsible human beans with all sorts of potential to understand and imagine and BEHAVE...without these sorts of scare tactics and ridiculous rewards...like choclotae sundes forever in the sky...we might develop a finer strain of human beans...we could do no worse..and now they want to introduce even more of this infantile bilge in schools and the workplace because it makes these children "feel whole" and a lot better too.

Sure...if you give in to children, they`ll feel "better"...but try to maintain a culture and civilization with children running around insisting their fantasies be respected and catered to...and you`ll get the people we have in the White House now.
