When I see lies, mistruths and often total ignorance of the laws of natural physics of this universe, which has its own inherent beauty WITHOUT supernatural mumbo jumbo, I feel compelled to help these people emerge from the dark abyss of self deluded superstitious denial. It is a case of trying to teach the deliberately ignorant, about reality. Is it preaching or evangelical or trying to shed light on ignorance? In which case all teachers should be condemned for wrecking our childhood fantasies. I live in a society where statesmen still believe in these fairy tales. Our prime minister carries a bible in his top pocket, and islamists are totally off in nah nah land, they are so aboriginal.
aboriginal [ˌæbəˈrɪdʒɪnəl]adj existing in a place from the earliest known period; indigenous; autochthonousaboriginally adv
ie. living in the past
Yet diversity is part of human nature, I guess I cant stand by when stupidity grows all around me. I have to try and help. It is now mission in life, so I have just gone back to school to get my Dip Ed, and guess where my first placement is... A catholic ladies college and I put down i didn't want a religious school , anyway we will soon see if logic prevails over superstition.
Secondly, my aunt went out with the son of a "Bretheren" family. As teens engaged to be married, my aunt told him some salacious lies during an emotional tiff, so he strangled her to death. His view that lies were punishable by death showed he had totally lost control of reality, and this was based solely on the abnormally dogmatic teachings of his religious mother. My point is I dont blame the young man who viciously murdered my aunt but I do question the right of the religious institution the espoused basically absolute non-reality nonsense, the right to bring up children. In her memory I choose to confront any who profess religion as a belief, rather than creed, to get them to assess their reality, rather than try and convert them.
Cheers
