The Negatives of Religion

Religions have many negative policies. It indoctrinates children and discourages questioning. This twisted belief system destroys the lives of some of the people. The religious, and many of the individuals need to be prosecuted and/or persecuted  for their offenses, and by those who survive the stupid teachings. Those that survive and recover may well be motivated to attack the faith based bullshit with reason and logic, real evidence, and abandon the religious people to their own hells.

Atheism is simply the realization that there is no god, and all such concepts are just bullshit, for the lack of a better term. Judging is important in this world of too much information. People of the gods are just abandoned, and that is where prudence starts; the ability to separate logic from faith. There is always some bad in the good, and some good in the bad. Prudence, the ability to judge what is right and good, and logic is all we really have as tools. Within our power is assent or rejection, or setting aside what we do not know or cannot prove. Teaching what cannot be proven is child abuse at best and likely fraud.

Religions value faith and put down or reject logic. This is bad, because logic is the only thing that has potential to get us through this mess the world is in. In a short time, it will be someone else's problem, as we all just die anyway. Faith is the definition of insanity; just doing the same thing over and over and expecting difference results. Sounds good, is it true?

Ethics are worth keeping; religion is not. But ethics can be totally based of logic, starting with the only thing that has major value is our life; all sorts of concepts can then be built into a hierarchy of values based on that logical foundation. The individual is the primary building blocks, then perhaps family, community, society, region, country, world. If family is wrong, they can be abandoned, as we go out to develop our own family or community of like minded.

Reality and logic can remove and replace all the faith based groups in the world, one individual at a time. Worse than faith is just not looking. The rate of Co2 rise is putting much urgency on this undertaking, as life expediency will start to decline rapidly. 2060 will have a Co2 level of 550 ppm, and few born today will be able to breath and  live unassisted just as many born into a atmosphere of 300ppm Co2 can live at 410 today. What do you think the real reason for all the CPAP machines is?
