Compost for brains

Surely you were all on the edges of your seats waiting for this week’s Radio Netherlands "Amsterdam Forum" to ask the question: "is religion bad for society". Good question. If you're a Christophobe, or the heroic euro-gutmensch, the answer is always yes, and what is only nominally called a debate is over. Except when it’s politically useful to point out that a religion which had nothing to do with widespread unrest is virtuous in ending it.

They seem to be trying to set up another pathetic round of Bush-believes-in-something—and-he-went-to-war-therefore-religion-causes-war-therefore-our-original-hatred-of-it-is-correct. It looks more it a revival meeting on moonbat hill. Okay. I see. Societies that don’t have religion don’t have war?

The left has through it’s provisional wing, the media, already slagged religion nearly to death. Now they’re wheedling with the right to expose your children to its’ views, and to have any pride in it out of existence as well. Why do they continue beating on (what is effectively in Europe,) a dead horse? What reflex does it bring out in them? Surely you’ve encountered the man on the European street that winces at the very mention of a church wedding - as if it's any of their damned business to begin with.

To some, religion is a politically useful straw-man, to others it distracts the proletariat and the cadres from their new God: the state, possessor of all virtue and goodness. In this case they somewhat resemble Lenin, but given the trope detected around the edges, they are more akin to Hitler.

The Nazis actively tried to construct a quasi-religious mythology, even inventing archeological finds in their search for “Germania” and a great Aryan myth in Viking and Neolithic culture.

The thoughtful, the morally aware, the unmoldable were a threat to Hitler. Today’s leftists feel that most religion is a threat to them. To conceal this predilection, they draw too more attention than seems humble to their involvement with groups like the Quakers, and such, but I don’t think that they could be “in this world, but not of it” as the Society of Friends suggests. You can do this test for yourself: after looking up just what it is that they do, mention the words "Opus Dei", to a garden variety European leftist, and see what kind of reaction you get.

Today, we have to ask ourselves about its’ ubiquitous grandchild, one of an endless series of nattering issues that leftist require of the rest of society do something about for their happiness and amusement. Why is it that all the neo-pagan lunacy we have to pretend to accept show itself in the form of reams of burdensome paperwork, justification, and les calculs interminables? To some it’s a form of punishment for entertaining capitalism, to others it appears quite frankly to be an expression of Daddy issues.

Because it's lefty's way. Joyously legislating their idea of a better life on all of us, New Age half-wits now run our world with rules, rules, and more rules that feel great when their warm and fuzzy town councils pass them. When passing this stuff, they likely see these measures in a vacuum that ignores the last beaurocratic nightmare that they voted in the month before in their strange little cult of the stempel from window six to justify the letter from a notaire. That sure sounds like paradise.

Any argument spurred on by the left and the Stormfront types about the evils of Christianity and Judaism miss the mark - they should take a second look at the desiccated, aromatherapy buying, aging children lurking around. when they want to find an opaque yet goofy force clouding people’s minds.
