WOW, I just think they should call it Bullshitblocker, not “God”. I don't see how having a belief in an “omnipresence” and/or the faith of something more as being directly linked to any particular deity, I do, however, see most religious text as linked to humankind's ability to use nonsensical bull shit to captivate an otherwise open mind (especially the less educated and intensely hungry) and control it with fear and ignorance. I would actually be interested in a BullshitBlocker that would stop religious doctrine from just popping up for my kids to read, yeah, even the ones that say there is no God at all. I think faith in an “omnipresence” is between me and my children and my decisions to teach them the way I wish for them to see their world and the way I wish for them to experience their eventual death or the death of those around them, especially their loved ones, imho, starts at home, true.
One other thing, I want to know who the red hand holding the hand holding the lightening bolt is, so the human”ish” white hand holding the lightening bolt is “God” or “religion” and the red hand is the one grabbing it to block it, doesn’t that in a sense create a larger (I AM THE MIGHTY GOD BLOCKER) omnipotent being, I BLOCK ALL THAT IS GOD, I AM "SUPER ANTI-GOD".
I don't mind the idea of preventing religious text from just popping up on my computer (not that this has ever really happened, EVER) but I just can’t get behind the whole “god” block as though they are saying to stop the potential for people to believe in a “god” at all. Why are we all afraid of an omnipresence, of faith. The belief that there is more to life then simply breathing everyday is not the enemy, “god” did not create war, “god” did not destroy the environment, humans who wrote and control religions doctrine and use them as a weapon of tyranny and law did, humans created the problem with god. What happened to humans being grateful for life, being grateful to something grander than what they see, why is it so wrong to believe in a omnipresence? The American Indians were some of the most spiritual peoples and they loved and lived within amazing communities and the land itself based on the concepts of their gods, what is happening to freedom of faith, children with stickers and smug faces proving they don’t have to believe in anything and that somebody will be their “GodBlocker” how frightening. So now we must be protected from “God” when it is humans who pull the trigger, who else can we find to blame our actions on, oh, I know, lets blame God and then just block em’ hey we can unfriend em’ too. Ya’ll go ahead, I rather be blissfully ignorant and loved by my God and grateful for the gift of life than to just breath until I die with the hopes that one day somebody will come along and enlighten me to what the hell they think life was all for, that just makes me vulnerable to mankind, and I have already seen the potential for what mankind can do with to much power, I’ll pass.

I'm guessing it's a joke.

If there is it seems more to me to be conversion to atheism than anything else.

p.s. I am pro choice, I believe in stem-cell research, I have no problem with gays and gay marriage, gays in the military, I have no problem with sex period, as free and personal or costly and advertised, I have no problem with freedom of religions and personal faith, I want very much secular law and I BELIEVE IN GOD, I believe in an omnipresence, I believe in a life after death or reincarnation or something that answers for me the unanswerable questions. I believe when I tell my children that Grandma is in heaven watching over them and loving them, I mean it, she really is and I want them to feel that way, I want them to feel the ever presence of her love, the ever presence of love in general and that mankind was created by a “God” who loves them and wants them to be happy and wants them to treat each other well, damn strait I believe, why the hell not? Really, why the hell not? (btw, I don’t believe in a “hell” per say brim fire and damnation and all that crap)
Do any of you know anything better, can you make life less sufferable by telling me that this is it, that we just simply live and die and that is that? I could no more look into my kids eyes and tell them, yeah, grandma died, oh well…. move on kid, so what, it happens. What does that teach them, live for today because tomorrow don’t really exist and their ain’t nothing better anyway, who really cares how you treat people cause nobodies watching and we are all just worm bait anyhow. Gross. By the way, mommy burned the dead cat carcass and oh well, it never really mattered it was just a cat, it was just another animal waiting to die on this godforsaken ball of animal excrement we call overpopulated environmental unstable, human warring earth, which by the way will end in less than 2 years, yeah, believe in that you little miscreant skin stretchers, what does is matter if I care or not, I’m just another non-important human and humans don’t believe in anything but themselves, right? Godblocker, *raspberry* I need a BullshitBlocker to block pseudo sites like that.
Wow, I love this shit. Thanks BG
, more, more…..
