On the lie that is conservative "Godliness." (American Revelation VII: Part Nine.)

When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco

This bullshit again?

I repeat; This bullshit, again?

I'm sorry, I spent most of my life as a Christian and I've been seeing this "The Left HATES God!!!" Bullshit my whole life, all too often, the more foamy the statement, the more it was expected to be taken seriously.

And the more flaming obvious bullshit it was, every single fucking time they ran the experiment.

Hatred, actual hatred requires some knowledge of what is hated. For an example, I'm an Agnostic. I don't know for sure if God exists, and it would be pretty stupid to hate something that doesn't exist, or that one is unsure of the reality of. It would be more accurate for these people to say they believe the Left has contempt for God, which perhaps some people do, but I don't find that to be true of most people.

And if anybody shows contempt for God by their actions, their conduct, it's the Right. These are people who've spent the last six years looking for any excuse possible to bow down and worship *Checks Notes* Donald Trump.

This from the people so overwhelmed with a case of the brain-worms, so overcome with fear, so pants-shitting scared at the loss of whatever social authority they imagined that they once had, that they openly want to start a civil war, burn down America and build themselves a little Conservative North Korea out of rubble chunks, spent shell casings and the tears of grossly underpaid workers, a place where only Rich White Men have anything, and the rest get nothing but jackboots, where there's a man with a gun on every corner and he can do to whatever he pleases to whoever he wants as long as they fall below a certain spectra on the scale of Political Reliability, and this they will call freedom, as they daily trash-talk whatever other American successor-states actually give a shit about freedom or rights or trying to do right by their people.

Because that, of course, is Communism, which must be bad even though they can't define it.

First, it's not about religion, or even religiosity, but the appearance thereof, in order to fool the feeble-minded. (And, quite frankly, the longer this goes on the more these fucking people act like it's an insult to their collective impotent shrunken manhood that they even have to do that.)

Second, it's about the projection of an appearance of authority, and for the same reason.

These fucking fools don't want America, with its diversity, its multitude of cultures and religions, or its secular Constitution. They want a State they can bow down and worship as a God whenever the band begins to play at the Emperor's command, else they be thrown into the fiery furnace.

And never mind what the actual Bible says about how that worked out, or why. These fucking people don't seek after a transcendent God out of desire for the forgiveness of sins or to partake of an Eternal afterlife. No, they fucking don't.

They don't give a shit about any of that and I'm here to tell you it's all a lie.

They want a simpering old white man dressed more ostentatiously than a goddamn Pride float, carried about on a litter by burly Eunuchs and accompanied by a retinue of functionaries and guards with a harem of scantily-clad women and poufy catamites, because that's what they think leadership looks like. All the better if said old white man is some demented incompetent doofus who can't even talk right, and whose sole guidepost is which direction his erect penis is pointing, who is openly or secretly controlled by said retinue of functionaries and guards, so long as all this bullshit projects some kind of aura of unaccountable power so that they can accrue it to themselves.

Never mind that every single time we as a species run this fucking experiment, usually sooner rather than later it results in power being given to some boy-raping sadist that has the intelligence of a garden vegetable who gets trotted out every day for the mob by the army of Eunuch-thieves who really run the Palace, which his actual authority ends at the walls of it...but all this is to be used to justify the pillage and rape of the nation by corporations and corrupt warlords and foreign armies and every other goddamned thing you can imagine

These idiots don't want a President who is duly elected by We The People for any reason, good or bad. They want, in their own words that slip out in unguarded moments, a philosopher-monarch to fight their culture wars for them and "punish" their enemies.

Or at least, they want to imagine they have that. All the better if it's imaginary in fact, because then it stands no chance of ever regulating their own behavior or telling them what do do.

Rules, as they say, are for the little people.

And it's funny how their vision of America looks more like China in the first couple decades of the 20th century than it does like America in the 21st century. They want the collapsed empire, all the better to fashion their own little fiefdoms out of it.

They want this because, all too often, these people are in their own minds damaged little scared children who've suffered psychological damage from their own shitty philosophies, which doesn't excuse their behavior in the least because they themselves openly want to use all this crap as a justification for hurting even more people, because the cruelty is the motherfucking point. And they'll tell whatever lies they have to in order to get there.

Because civilization is too hard, and because simply maintaining what we all already have in accordance with the laws and traditions we already possess does not empower or enrich them (and only them) enough.

Because it's easier for them to hide under the bed during a thunderstorm living in fear of "Angry God make sky go boom" and to concoct complicated grandiose rationalizations for spreading their fear and hate than it is for them to understand relatively simple things like the idea that people need to get along and be paid adequately and even the scientific basis of things like electricity and thunder storms (or solar panels and wind turbines) because all the bullshit ideologies they've been propagandized into believing (mostly for the financial benefit of the very few) are more important.

Hell, a couple weeks and a real honest to god functional paycheck into our wages having gone up at my job, we still have people bitching about the fact that the company we all work for decided to give us more money...because some fucking people judge themselves by the fact that they were making seven cents an hour more than the next person was, and if that's not the dumbest shit imaginable, I don't know what the fuck is.

But in that tiny bit of relative status, these fucking fools found their god. If the world has taken away that god then it must "Hate" god because Communism or something something Gazpacho. 

Never mind the realities of capitalism in a free society where you can't just clap people in irons and force them to work for you. Never mind that we're reaching the point where too much money is concentrated at the top and not liquid within a capitalist system, so that it's becoming difficult to keep that system actually functioning. Never mind that wages got so low it that it effectively didn't matter if people worked or not, or that COVID-19 upset this whole rotten apple-cart and we'll be years, if not decades, sorting out the mess and getting back on our feet just as it is.

These fucking people want to go right back to exploiting the American worker like nothing happened, while doling out racism and religion as the Opioids of the masses like they're fucking drug dealers, and then they want to pawn that bullshit off on God whenever anybody calls them out on it.

And one need look no further to see how empty their "Judeo-Christian values" are than to see that these fucking people are hostile to any actual Jewish people who are observant of their culture or religion.

Religion is nothing more to these motherfuckers than cosplay that they use to fool the masses, and any attempts at ecumenism on their part are more of the same. The only faith these people will stand up and claim at the end of the day is the bad faith of their shitty politics.

And again, they call this "Righteousness."

If you want to say I hate that kind of stuff, well I'll be the first to tell you I'm guilty as charged.

And you can fucking deal with it, be mad, I don't care. This is America and I can do that. Period.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream.  The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same.  And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free. ~Ronald Reagan
