“Two billion people believing the same lie doesn’t make it any less of a lie.”
- Xenocrates
One of the key dangers of religion is the fact that it operates based on lack of proof. This means that anyone can reinvent religious dogma and people will still buy it, because it doesn’t need proof for credibility. So imagine a church congregation packed with believers who’ve just sung a heart warming hymn. It is now that time in the service for the sermon to be ministered. The preacher steps up to the podium and proceeds to elucidate the congregation about things in the Bible they probably already know about. However, today, he decides to take a few liberties with the text, spinning his own version of the “truth” to the audience. Nobody in the congregation knows any better, since they assume that the pastor must know what he’s talking about. Everybody just nods “amen” until the altar call and the service wraps. They close their Bibles, go home, and forget at least half of what was said earlier that day. It is those who don’t forget and dare to question the pastor’s logic who are often considered outcasts and heretics. How dare you think differently? They are told: “Don’t question it! Just have faith! God moves in mysterious ways…blah, blah, blah“… Stop me if this is sounding all too familiar.
If you can identify with anything in the above paragraph, then this post is for you. Read on, wayfaring stranger.
Why is it that when it comes to friendships with men, that women can’t understand that there is and always will be sexual intent in a man’s relations with her? It’s not even something that we premeditatively desire. It’s just there – like a prick in the back of our minds, slowly driving us mad. Even if the relationship is purely professional and they never see each other again until the next seminar or meeting, EVERY man thinks about every woman he sees that is not directly related to him as a sexual object before he sees her as anything else – even if that woman is his boss. Men are hardwired to sexually objectify women. We do it every single time we see an even moderately attractive woman. The process is so automatic and happens so fast, that most men aren’t even consciously aware of it when it happens. If you’re a man reading this, think of every woman in your office that is even remotely attractive. I’m sure there’s at least one. Now imagine if you weren’t married or otherwise engaged. Do you realise where you thoughts went just for a second there? Yeah. You know what I’m talking about.
Knowledge is dangerous. The more you know, the less mystery there is, and thus, the less interesting everything appears to be. The same is true for people. Maybe that’s why I attach such a premium to the discerning factors that I think are imperative to who I consider worthwhile making friends with. See, the problem is that I always need something unique to keep my interest. Entertaining the typical run of the mill denizens of this backwater planet is usually reserved for social occasions when you’re supposed to socialize and make light conversation. That’s something I’m totally incapable of doing, since most people are masking how uninteresting they really are. I have the attention span of a house fly and most people fail to capture it. Quite frankly, average people BORE me. 
Do you realise that everybody’s got some motivation for being who they let you think they are? In fact, most of the people you’ve met aren’t really who they say they are. Sure, their names are correct 90% of the time, but the character they show you is just a facade. The very identity that we’ve come to know for most people is a manufactured avatar of the real person. Human beings haven’t really evolved as people. They’ve just developed more inventive masks to hide the true animals inside. As a result, almost everything that most people do is geared towards some level of misdirection. It is designed to hide that which sits beneath – the real animal they are often too ashamed for others to see. If that true person were to come out for everyone to see, the mask will bring that large majority of us to shame. Unfortunately for these people, I like many others, have learned how to see right through these masks. In this post, I’m going to show you what each mask is designed to hide.
This goes out to all the women out there chasing after bad boys:
You ever wonder why you go to church and see so many unattractive, single people? Have you ever wondered where all the hot womem / men are? Better yet, why is it that so many churches are populated by mostly women? Where are the rest of the men? Do you ever wonder why some of the most ignorant or superstitious people are also found in religious circles? Why are religious people (irrespective of their religion of choice) so inclined to extremist behaviour? Are you one of those people that these questions have occurred to but you’ve conveniently ignored? There’s a very good reason for all of this, and it takes it’s root from a fundamental ‘flaw’ in human nature:
Every religious pundit has their own justification for not comitting sin. The justifications will sometimes agree, but most of the times it is a war of who’s more righteous than the other. What amuses me is that most of the times, the idiots fail to realise that sin is as much a part of human nature as sex. You’re not human if you don’t sin and sinning is inextricably inevitable. It’s like they expect people to become super men and women by subscribing to some religious philosophy. No matter how much I believe I can fly, jumping off a cliff will still cause me to paint the rocks below me all different shades of red.
