How far have we fallen? Is there a bottom to the well of stupidity that christianity is? I keep expecting one day that people will grab a clue, catch on to the devious mind-fuck of organized religion and simply say, “Enough.”
That fabled day seems to be moving into the future – outpacing our best attempts ever to reach it. Why? Because we need to believe so desperately in magic that we throw Reason right out fracking window. Critical thinking, rationality, skepticism? Defenestration for the lot of you! Jebus trumps all your asses!
Discern4’s video is light-hearted but the it does not answer the question that is begging to be answered: who responds to this bunk? Who twizzles the the holy tassels of jesus in hopes of having their debt magically cleared?
I know who.
Desperate, ignorant people. The very same ones religion has been ‘praying’ on since the beginning of our history. The practice is immoral and has no place in a civilized society (yes dear reader you get to fill in the blanks for the indeterminate referal in the the sentence – whatever you pick will work, trust me).

Notes To Ponder
Your reasoning is precisely why the holy can never be swayed. I see it much like the bell curve plotting IQ – we can’t do a damn thing about those lacking the capacity to grasp religion for what it is.

I know, after finding out that stones, especially white ones(even painted white ones) are capable of such astounding feats who *wouldn’t* want one. :>

It just seems desperately unfair toward the offspring of those who fail to shake the indoctrination. They never have the choice to embrace the delusion, it is a mandated cup of poison that is served with every meal, every interaction, every day.
I see parallels in the way people adopt political views and ideologies as well.
