Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a blunt warning that Europe has entered a “pre-war era” and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, nobody in Europe will be able to feel safe....
All of us are in the pre-world War III era and we're gearing up quickly for it. In many ways it's already underway, and we're just now starting to get ready go make it even more massive and global.
Welcome to the 21st century where men have evolved into nothing more than war mongering utter pieces of filthy shit. This is what will be all our legacy, a world scorched into oblivion and not a trace of humanity anywhere left on the planet. Perhaps that's for the best, really.
I've never understood exactly what makes the male sex supposedly so superior. From what I've seen they are decidedly mediocre as a sex, very egotistical, gun loving, hate-filled, quick to anger, slow witted and quite dirty minded, with brains that make war and other filth. Extraordinarily gutter-type people.
A Filipino villager has been nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea....
What a sick idea that we should celebrate a human being nailed to a cross, yuck. Another example of how religious beliefs are grotesque in the extreme and I'd rather believe in humanity instead of some supernatural shit like this.
There was no such person as Jesus and there never has been and there never as any such thing as "god" either. Stop being ignorant blind fools, people. Leave your shackles of religious nut-jobbery behind, go out and enjoy life and have some fun. Turn this "good Friday" into a GREAT Friday.
The Brussels City Council unanimously passed a motion on Monday evening to block public procurement of products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with the MR and N-VA parties abstaining....
All of our countries should be imposing bans on ANTYHING being imported from Israel ever again, and from anything they produce being brought overseas. Israel is a cesspool of murderous hate, and we cannot and should not support hem in any way, in any form, at any time.
Religion is a losing influence, it's a losing believe system no matter what. I say it's time we wake up, grow up, and admit that God was always just a fabricated concept from primitive minds that needed to believe in something bigger to simply explain away the forces of nature.
I don't buy into the "in God we trust" concept. I don't have to place my faith in a supernatural force. I trust in humans, every piece of advancement that's come into being is because humans put their shoulders to the grindstone and made it happen.
I trust in humanity. I trust in our abilities to produce, manage, and help (even if we often screw it up). No god can solve our problems for us, numerous though they may be.
The Taliban’s announcement that it is resuming publicly stoning women to death has been enabled by the international community’s silence, human rights groups have said....
Just because no one holds you accountable for doing it, how can you justify being sick and evil enough to want to flog or stone somebody. What is going on with these middle eastern assholes?? Is it something in the water they drink or the food they eat that turns these bigoted males into such flagrantly mentally abberant pieces of utter walking dog shit??
Well, my advice is, if you're a middle-eastern woman, arm yourself any way you can and strike first. Throw the first stone, you might just crush the worthless skull of one of these misogynistic women-hating anti-human pieces of maggot infested filth, and do the world an immense favor.
No I'm not saying the West is much better, but at least here we treat women with the same dignity as men. We spit on all of them, but at least we TRY to say we treat men and women equally.
No the situation is not much better anywhere in the world.
Hmmm Jesus is probably more well behaved, but hello kitty is fluffier and wears nice bows. It's a tough one. How about Jesus H. Kitty. Combine the best of both into one super-overstuffed fluffy architype.
The bible. PHHBBLlllpptt. I'd sooner use the Anarchists Cookbook as a guide to how to lead my life. People who say they follow the guidelines of the bible are liars, because nobody could follow all the commands in the bible and still exist, it's impossible. We're not saints or angels and we were never meant to be.
We're the rough smut of beasts, as Walt Whitman put it. We're human animals and we shouldn't pretend to anything more, we need to start helping each other and realizing we're in this mess together and no fictional supernatural being is going to come to our rescue or provide us any sort of comfort.
Well it may not always produce what we call perfection, certainly there are things about our bodies that could be better. But that doesn't mean it isn't an elegant and beautiful process.
If I remember right, Darwin wasn't anti-religion and was in fact a constant church goer. So when I recently saw a bumper sticker showing Darwin's gravestone and stating "Guess Darwin found out he was WRONG," it left me utterly scratching my head.
Darwin didn't say anything about god not existing or that evolution meant that god didn't exist. For him, I'm sure, evolution was the process god himself designed to propogate life forms and diversity on earth. I don't think religion and evolution have to be in competition with each other.
Well Darwin never said we came from monkeys, but that homo sapiens are related to a relative that branched off from monkeys. And I don't get why people are "insulted" to believe we may be related to monkeys and primates or other animals.
Humans are animals. We're on the same spectrum, we're as much a part of the animal kingdom as monkeys, giraffes, and lions and zebras. And that, to me, is pretty damn beautiful. We're not some special Saintly concoction of unicorn farts and sunshine - we're animals and we're related to other animals. What's so difficult to accept about that????
“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.
Settler leader should be stoned and beheaded for licking Nazi buttholes and savoring the taste. Israel has become worse than Nazi germany at its most utterly grotesque.
People in the U.S. are leaving and switching faith traditions in large numbers. The idea of “religious churning” is very common in America, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI)....
Latter Day Saint's my asshole. People, human beings, are not meant to be "saints" I can't even think of a more vile concept than people being that conceited about themselves.
My great great grandfather, Parley P. Pratt, has a canyon named after him and yet I disavow him as nothing but a quack and a cultist. We gave his personal diaries to the University of Utah back in 1991 just to spite BYU.
The mormon church is a slavish trump-loving cult and nothing more, and it deserves to perish in infamy from the earth like all the dimwits who are members of its sick belief system.
Don't lump me in with them. I'm a boomer and I hate religion and always have, and I am very glad to see attendance dropping as people wake up to the true horrors of such filth.
I think that's mostly the case, I know most of the quorums of religious institutions (like here in utah with mormons) are doddering old men in their 80s - I think the're more from the generation that came before boomers. I know a lot of boomers, and not many of them have any religious leanings.
Just as long as it happens is all I care about. It's a process, like anything else it just takes successive generations of breeding the ignorance out of our genes. I think there will always be some kind of religious insitutions around, people seem to need to believe in things that are fantastic and supernatural.
They couldn't even escape the pull of it in "Dune," there was plenty of religion even in a place where it seems to have no great purpose. People are just that way - they are willing to put their belief in crazy stuff.
Why does every photo of trump make him appear to be harfing up a hairball. What an ugly countenance!
This blasphemous misgogynist freak hawking bibles is like Jeffrey Dahmer going around giving parents tips on childcare. And the aim is the same in both cases - raise your kids to be overstuffed bigot freaks so we can kill them and dine on them and make our names off their dead bloated corpses.
I'm sorry for her and for you and your ignorance in believing that humans need to go around proselyting to each other about a fictional horrid deity who cares less about human life than causing men to murder each other in the name of religious nut-jobbery.
I hope your family member never succeeds in this horrible exercise of human vanity and terror. Missionaries are equivalent to walking dog excrement and that's exactly how I perceive them. I hope this person gets very ill and never gets to complete their so-called mission - a mission of perversion if ever there was one.
After a morning lesson on multiplying fractions, about half of the students in a fifth-grade class at Etna Road Elementary School packed up their work and headed to the campus library....
That's extremely sad and worse than almost any form of child abuse I've ever read about. Forcing these dumb gullible kids to believe in christ-y nonsense which not only will never help them deal with real life, but will poison their minds against other people and polarize their viewpoints into arthritic rigidity and disgusting bigotry. It's sick.
I've always considered Ohio a worthless bastion of assholery but I never thought they would stoop to such horrible brainwashing of youngsters. Any parent worth being called a parent would and should pull their kids out of that school and that horrible abusive situation as fast as humanly possible.
I'd much rather have my kid sing songs about Satan and give fealty to Satan than ever think that there is any truth to christ, or god, or any of the other insane institutions of christian nut-jobbery.
I only wish they could be raptured so we could be rid of these ignorant fools once and for all. Can you imagine having to be "raptured" along with them, and having to spend eternity with such self-righteous self serving egotistical assholes? I can't think of anything more like hell and less like heaven.
Left behind? Thank you I'll gladly stay here and enjoy the peace and quiet of an earth cleansed of ignorance and stupidity and dark-age beliefs in supernatural dieities.
