Faith is not a virtue, it's a fucking cancer

if you think for one second that those jihadists who blew up the towers did so because they were evil incarnate, fraught with sinister blood, thoughts, intentions, then let me be the lucky one to tell ya that you are so full of shit. wake up! those crazy fucks didn't do that shit because they were evil, they did it because they believed their beliefs were/are true. they did then and their contemporaries do now. they understand their 'holy book' literally and therefore all non-muslims -- especially those who get in their way -- must die... for the glory of allah or whatevs...

they are just being good muslims.

and they only feel that way because they were brought up that way, from an early age, to believe in the plethora of bullshit and never question it.

now if i came up to you and said, "hey there, mister/ma'am, i got some inside information on the creator of this universe and he's a part dragon part clown thingy who can see and hear and touch and feel everything you do and all ya gotta do to be in his favor is give me a donation or, gee, if you're not doin' anything why don't you strap this dynamite on your back and walk into a courthouse"... don't you think you'd question this crazy ass motherfucker?

but people don't question religion, no matter how fucking nutso crazy it is (and i assure you, it is). we aren't allowed to question religion and that is a fucking tragedy.

"faith is a virtue" is the phrase kids are taught so they don't try to, y'know, think for themselves... ever. no other thing, place, idea has people so ready to support unquestioningly than religion... and it's the one thing that oughtta be questioned more than anything else. because even though it starts out as just a kid believing in some far-fetched fairytales... before long that kid is blowin' up buildings and murdering babies for the glory of god.

question... EVERYTHING
