Why the story of Jesus sucks...

I was talking to someone the other day about the story / mythology of Jesus, when it occurred to me that what the majority of people take away from the story is that “Jesus died for the sins of the population..”.

This is probably the worst story ever told, it tells people that there is meaning in death, when there is not. There is meaning in life, not death. The faithful that flew the planes into our buildings surely believed there was meaning in death, and reward in it.

I’m sure some people would ask about the soldiers who died for our country. In history we do not learn about the soldiers who died for our country, but the soldiers that fought for our country and our freedom. It is a soldiers life that should be celebrated, not their death. A soldier, policeman, fire fighter, ambulance workers have probably the most meaningful life.

Back to Jesus, some people not only believe this story, but believe that Jesus was also God and the holy spirit. The whole story falls apart here, he knocks up an earth girl, gives birth to himself, he sends his son to die, who was actually himself, to open up gates he could have just walked over and opened up himself in the first place without having to go through all this. Apparently God just wanted to torture his child, or himself.. which makes him a sadist, or a child abuser. It’s all very confusing.

Being a fan of comic books, I do like some parts of the story of Jesus. The parts where he displays his mutant / magic / super powers. Like walking on water, or healing the sick. They should write more about that, or write about his teen years. (which someone forgot to write about) I’m sure a lot of young teens would love to hear about who Jesus dated in his teen years. The bible is WAY over due for an editing and to bring the story up to modern times. ( we really don’t need to know how to treat our slaves, I think they can take that part out now.)

When ever my son asks about Jesus, I explain that he’s just another mythological figure, like Odin or Thor. For morals, I’d be better off handing him a copy of Superman.

Gay Marriage.

So Los Angeles passes the proposition making it illegal for same gender couples to get married. What the fuck? I still have trouble that this is modern America with so many backwater bible assholes pushing their fearful bigotry upon good rational people of America. Give gay people the right to marry, make them equal. Anyone who wants to protect the sanctity of marriage is an absolute moron. Marriage is a social institution dating way back before the bible.

Trying to force other terms such as "unions" is an outright shame and NOT equal. It's just as good as saying "blacks can ride the bus, but they just have to sit in the back."

Saying the majority have spoken and that's the way it should be is lame. The majority of people are ignorant, at one point the majority people in the world believed slavery was okay. Just because the masses agree, does not make it right.

There's a lot of talk stating that same sex couples are harmful to society. Well, as far I can tell, the divorce rate is higher among hetero couples, and I do believe that majority of prisoners that occupy are from a straight parent/s.

So it boils down to plain discrimination. Good job bigoted hateful assholes of Los Angeles, you out number the sensible.
