Rick Warren

>interesting speech eh?

What the fuck was up with Rick Warren and his nice long prayer? Shit pissed me off. Ugh, I can't even believe they gave him that time on the podium. At the presidential inauguration of all places too. His politics are hateful and inconsiderate of anything other than whatever church faction he pledged himself to. How incredibly stupid and ignorant.

Now, I'm not saying that I don't believe that anyone should be able to speak their mind, cause I'm all about free expression and anti-censorship and whatnot. Really though, I think something needs to be done about big ethical foundations found in religion and whatnot. We need to somehow decide once and for all what is acceptable and what isn't when dealing with all these religious nuts.

Obviously, as any semi-rational child will figure, their whole idea and concept of god is completely false. The religious leaders of the world have been slowly changing their positions and backing up for hundreds of years now. Why is it that a few hundred years ago the Bible was taken as fact, while today much of it is either open for interpretation or considered highly symbolic? Wake the fuck up and realize that none of that shit is true. How can the flawless word of God just magically be reinterpreted and have it's meanings and histories changed based on the current state of human cultural development? Just like some ass backwards textbook of mysticism, it keeps undergoing revisions and new editions, only instead of actually presenting any sort of factual, hard evidence from the time of scripture or even any sort of miracles from today, the meanings just get reassigned to keep people doing whatever it is the church wants.

In all seriousness, we need to have a final, end all decision on the validity of the religions of the world. These billions of foolish people all believe in their one god who will save them while simultaneously thinking, and possibly preaching, how every other of the religions out there are false. Something is seriously wrong with that. It defies all logic.

Yes, I'm a complete atheist. Agnosticism is even worse than being religious because either you believe in a god or not, easy as that. However, I only use these terms in the sense of religious beliefs. That's because even with science as the finest tool for deciphering what's out there in the universe, we still don't have any idea about the cause of everything, or what will happen when it ends. Obviously something happened, and the word "god" is so loaded with so many different meanings at once that it's foolish to use it to describe whatever it was that started whatever our reality is. Besides that, were relatively new on the evolutionary chain as humans. Maybe in 25,000 years some new evolutionary trend will be fully implemented and we'll see everything in a whole new, clearer light.
