About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for.
We're not dreamers, we're not the only ones.
Folks are joining us, and the world may ...
EXCELLENT!!
It isn't hard to do. . .

Imagine no religion -
It isn't hard to do.
Stalin was an atheist,
Mao and Pol Pot too.
Perform a Holodomor,
Murder six million men,
Take a Great Leap Forward,
Kill millions more again.
Imagine the Killing Fields,
a true boneyard of peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm a true sane one,
For who thinks North Korea
is just a realm of fun?

Imagine no religion,
There wouldn't be a Jew,
they'd vanish like the Vandals
and like the Etruscans, too.
They'd have assimilated
By the seventh century
And Hitler'd have his greatest wish:
A world that's Judenfrei.
Oh, oh, oh,
You may say I'm a screamer,
But I'm done with my verse;
Would a world without religion
Be better? Or just much worse?
[My brain is not a good place to be.]
Thomas, Nan, Professor, Shaw: Thanks. You got it.
Turner: Don't be ridiculous. The fact that some evil happens outside of religion doesn't change the fact that religion is evil. In any case, Communism is so much like a religion that it almost qualifies as one, so it's hardly surprising that it produces similarly murderous effects.
