Further

 Okay... let's go further.. I don't promise you to like this whole theory... or what next is happining... if you are atheist you gonna love what next is comming... but if you are believer... probably with good material... you gonna question your beliefs.

 

 

PLENY OF YOUTUBE  CHANNELS HAVE BEEN CLOSED BECAUSE

OF THE TRUTH... ATHEIST CHANNELS ALSO BEING CLOSED... HOW FAR WILL WE GO?

 

ARE WE REALLY FREE?

 

 

As last I want to take part of the argument... let's see what are the final results... because some atheist say that they don't believe in "Your God"... but probably there is a higher being... other say that there isn't.. then we spin around the spirtual bullshit.... 

Oppression and Religion

 Peter R Taylor

 

“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalise mankind; and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”

— Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

 

 

Oppression of one sort or another is endemic among humans and includes parental bossiness; bullying; street violence; and systematic, institutionalised repression of groups and individuals for reasons as varied as ethnic and racial difference; intellectual superiority or inferiority; gender; religious beliefs; atheism; sexual orientation; wealth or poverty; perceived social class. Oppression matters because it diminishes us as humans and many sufferers never recover, becoming street-kids, dropouts, depressives, suicidal, substance abusers, criminals, insane…

Everyone in our society has been forced at some time or other into operating as both oppressor and oppressed. Until we understand the deeper nature of oppression, our struggle to end it will be in vain. We will continue looking for “the enemy out there” and thus carry on the long, sad history of desperate, bewildered human beings replacing dictators with tyrants; Kings and Queens with Presidents….

Parents must think carefully about their relationship with their children. If they present the world as a dangerous place with murder and hurtful people, along with a “That’s the way it is” attitude, they can instill a sense of powerlessness in children so that when they become aware of other forms of oppression, they will accept them without fighting back. No person would ever agree to, or submit to, being oppressed unless a pattern of oppression acceptance had been installed in early childhood.

 

Oppressors have usually first been oppressed and then manipulated onto the other end of the oppression pattern.

 

This is old human knowledge. For example: child abusers have usually been abused themselves as children. One becomes a member of the English “ruling class” by being taken away from parents at an early age and sent to special boarding schools to be tortured and systematically degraded in the most inhumane ways: being kept as “slaves” by the older students, running the gauntlet, etc. Then, as older students, being manipulated onto the other end of the pattern, forced to give the same vicious treatment to the younger boys in preparation for their “ruling” role.

 

Victims of oppression frequently internalise this and eventually oppress themselves. One of the most disheartening examples of internalisation is seen in homophobia. For centuries the oppression has been so severe that nowhere in the world have gays been able to respond freely, kiss and hold hands in an open atmosphere without fear, and thus have been forced underground like dissidents in the most totalitarian of countries. Seeing few positive gay role models around, young gays are unable to freely choose their true sexual identity. And so they end up loathing homosexuality before reaching adulthood, adopting and internalising heterosexual definitions of good and bad, and are forced throughout their lives into painful, futile attempts to ‘heterosexualise’ their lives with the same crippling effect on self-image as when blacks straightened their hair to “pass” as white. To avoid internalisation (or frequently suicide) they are forced to leave family and friends for exile in big-city ghettos not unlike traditional Jewish ghettos in Europe, Catholic ghettos in Northern Ireland or black ghettos in the U.S. Far too many suffer a slow death from internalisation in futile, destructive intermarriages with heterosexuals.

 

Most permanent damage done by oppression is done by its internalised form.

 

Throughout human history, commonsense and promotion of ‘the common good’ have never been the aim of governments. Control of human life has always been exercised by the bully who could control the most powerful militias, while the control of citizens’ minds has been perfected by organised religion. Rulers needed the approval of religious leaders to function, so laws have usually been based on religious precepts. The state protected religion; religion validated the state. Hand in hand, Kings and Bishops; Sultans and Imams; Chiefs and Witchdoctors, have trampled over the rights and bodies of their subjects. This situation still exists throughout Africa; in all Muslim countries; most of the Americas; and is increasing in the U.S.A. and Australia. After fifty years of attempting to avoid sharing the spoils of power with the Orthodox Church by presenting the philosophy of Communism as a religion, Russia has conceded defeat and once again shares power with the bishops and the country is again on the path to totalitarianism.

 

Without exception, every government that shares power with religion is more or less corrupt, cruel, indifferent to human rights, and persecutes those who get in their way, disagree, or displease them. The stronger the influence of religion – it doesn’t matter which one – the more oppressive the regime. Compare devoutly Christian Cameroon and devoutly Muslim Iran… there’s little difference. On the other hand, when Spain rejected seventeen centuries of Roman Catholic dictatorship, it changed from the most repressive and oppressive country in Europe, to the most liberal! The Dark Side of Faith

 

It seems that the least oppressive societies are those of Western Europe, Canada, Scandinavia, and New Zealand. South Africa is doing its best to reverse the years of oppression in every field – with laudable success. However, Australia, by slavishly following the U.S.A. in everything: – industrial law reform: ‘homeland security’; war games; education; health reforms; refusing equal rights to same-sex-oriented people; reduction of welfare; incarcerating refugees in prison camps; Leaving David Hicks to rot; consulting religious leaders when formulating policy; enacting laws to please Christians in marginal electorates…is becoming more oppressive, and can no longer call itself either Secular, Fair, or Just.

 

Look at the recent ‘debate’ on RU486. Just about every Christian male member of parliament voted against the removal of Roman Catholic Minister for Health Abbott’s right to veto its use, believing, as their religion demands, that women are inferior and should be subject to domination by males.

 

Howard won his last election on the lie that granting equality to same-sex-oriented citizens would undermine the state – a lie promulgated [in the face of mountains of contradictory evidence] by the powerful Christian lobby. According to Cardinal Pell and his Anglican and fundamentalist bedfellows, so great was this threat to national security that it took precedence over terrorism, the economy and all else, requiring a special session of parliament be convened to change the constitution to ensure that same-sex-oriented people can never have equality in Australia, and their oppression will continue – along with the hate crimes, murders, bashings, and suicides that are always the result of State-sponsored oppression. When the State oppresses, disaffected bullyboys to do their dirty work for them, crime proliferates, and a once-peaceful society crumbles.

 

How long is it since women were promised equal opportunity and equal pay? Why hasn’t it happened? Because our parliaments are stacked with Christian males.

 

And why does nothing change? Because over the last few decades taxes have been funnelled away from State Schools to religious ones, and governments allow Christians to preach their nonsensical propaganda in State Schools, brainwashing children into believing in supernatural hob-goblins and supermen, rather than learning to think! This is mental child abuse of the worst kind.

 

The philosophy of oppression has become so rooted in society that most people are not even aware of it and, as in the religious wars in Ireland, Iraq, and Afghanistan, or the murdering of U.S.A. abortion doctors, whoever kills, thinks he does God a service.

 

France recently forbad the wearing of ostentatious symbols of religion in State schools, to preserve their secularity. Australia and the U.S.A. were quick to attack this decision. Why? Because we are already under the thumb of religion; Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The recent furore over a few cartoons is a scandalous attempt to demolish our secular freedoms – to subject us to the same restrictions as they suffer. No one, anywhere in the world in any country may laugh at their beliefs! Why not? Are they so fragile? Are they beyond criticism? It is heartening that Western European governments have refused to cower before Muslim anger. But Australia and the U.S.A. tremble and tell their people to obey Muslim law. I’ll repeat that in case the significance escapes you. By agreeing not to laugh at Muslim beliefs, we agree to obey Muslim law! How long before the sight of naked flesh on beaches is deemed an offence to Allah and is banned as it was by the Christians not so many years ago? Not long, if our inglorious leaders continue their discreditable appeasement. And before anyone whispers the word “respect”, think about what you are being asked to respect! Among hundreds of other things: – forcing women to cover all parts of their body except face and hands. Insisting on the right of men to have dominion over women. Demanding the stoning to death of women adulterers and same-sex-oriented men. Telling young men they will go straight to heaven and be given the services of seventy virgins if they murder or die while fighting in the name of Allah…

 

I respect honesty, truth, compassion, kindness, justice, mercy, tolerance, egalitarianism… but I can never respect anyone who espouses indifference, cruelty, hatred, intolerance and oppression.

 

The greatest threat to our increasingly fragile secular democracies is the notion that all cultures, no matter how bizarre some of their practices may be, are worthy of respect and support. All cultures have their roots deep in religion. Most are oppressive in their insistence on following unchanging custom. All value the group
