FWD Bullshit, Etc.
27 April 2005 by BobAn interesting story about the FWD and intervention (because we all know that if the Big Guy gave a fuck about us enough to actually intervene, we’d all just be robots and puppets in the end — so, better to hang back and let us do whatever):
Police: Boy, 5, Beaten to Death
An autopsy is planned today in Indianapolis for a 5-year-old Jennings County boy who authorities say was beaten to death at his home. [...] Taggart said Samuel suffered massive head injuries, a broken elbow and severe bruising all over his body. [...] “We take any death very seriously and very personal. But when it involves a child and a homicide, it cuts at your gut,” Taggart said today.
Cuts at your gut? Oh, I’m sure there’s no doubt about that (to put it mildly). “But,” comes the reply, “even though God can control us, He simply chooses not to for some higher purpose” (which, one assumes, is beyond our limited understanding, since we, as humans — even though we clearly value freedom — never viewed freedom as an absolute value, considering the obvious fact that we actually have laws for stuff like this). But this higher purpose, even though we have no idea what it is, is still praiseworthy. Praise God!

Well obviously we shouldn’t be privy to God’s reasons or our dicks would explode. A 5 year old getting beaten to death is accordence with God’s plan. How dare you question His wisdom!

Read your Bible, children are abused and even killed throughout the old testament!

Religion is a Story Tell, a Scapegoat. A Human Collective that will not Independently think or gain knowledge for themselves. A Group that Believes they are something Superior, Something Significant. A Faction who Lie and Deceive themselves and others for the hallucination of Wealth, Prosperity and Immortality. (That’s what Religion is today), But it is that Collective Ignorance that will Destroy Humanity long before they learn what it is to be truly Religious, “The Search for Truth – Science”.
