Disgust

So, all those people in Japan died because it was God's will? But when 8 people die in our country from severe weather then it has nothing to do with religion!? I believe I just had this conversation a couple weeks ago. These things do NOT happen because of God. They happen because Mother Nature is in charge and possibly because we try to change her, and fuck things up. I am very irritated right now. I do feel for those people and their families, but I am tired of double standards.

I think it is something far more insidious than hypocrisy. I think they are such fanatic fools that they believe that their "right" god makes it ok to behave in such fashion.

Hypocrisy would imply that they know they are mistaken; that would possibly be too much optimism on their mental faculties.

Indeed, but you know, our education system is just fine... no need to improve or educate better. Keep the people stupid and Christian and the republicans will continue on...

So they think. Even beaten dogs can eventually turn and bite....no rabies required.

Well, then, there may be hope..

Not for a long, long time. Because first, there will be the anarchy, chaos and suffering that Russian exemplifies.

And maybe worse here. More of us are armed and stupid.

*sigh* yes, that is true, and it is frightening. The thing is, every great empire in history has fallen. It was only a matter of time, right? Stock up on food and water.
