The Antichristian Phenomenon

Debate all you like about whether or not your religion is the right one, Christians. But it has no place in politics or in any intelligent society.

The fact of the matter is that, and even Christians will admit this, that Christianity and in fact all religions rely on a specific lack of evidence and accept it as fact. Say what you will about any scientific theory, the fact remains that science and intelligent thought demands at least some evidence before accepting a theory as fact. Religions are the only “scientific theories” to have ever been accepted as fact by a large group without any evidence. These “theories” are the only ones to have ever been accepted as somehow explaining why you should live your life a certain way, and they are the only “theories” to have ever demanded anything simply by being accepted.

It’s been said many times before by those more eloquent than I that believing something without proof is insanity. And it is.

From birth, Christians, Muslims and other religious folk are trained to believe without proof. This is a fact that we all know. How then, in an environment where citizens are expected to make intelligent, world-changing decisions while they vote, can we accept religion as a factor? How can we accept the fact that the vast majority of our voters are willing to believe things without any proof, when we don’t let the insane vote (I think)? Does attaching religion to an insane belief really give it credibility? If the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster became a powerful and wealthy group, would Pastafarians be allowed to dictate the politics of the nation? Christians can believe whatever they want but they need to accept the reality of the situation, that this is not a Christian country and that they rely on faith and not evidence, and evidence is what is needed.

This country is run by Christian law, or at the very least was and Christians are still trying to run it according to Biblical law. Christians cite the Bible for all of their political beliefs, and Christians make up the majority of this country, and many feel Christianity is the only religion that has a place here. It is perfectly fine in the views of these people to discriminate against non-Christians or even refuse service based on their beliefs, yet something as simple as taking a tiny rice paddy is a hate crime.

Does this ring a bell anyone?

Don’t Christians think that we have to go and kill people in the Middle East like Iran and Iraq because they are ruled by fanatic religious law? Isn’t that exactly what Christians want?
