Religion: A Melting Pot for Hate

Hello All,
   Recently there are two stories of religion-based hate crimes, Franklin Grahmn said deplorable things about transgender individuals, psychology is a complex subject that not all understand and though Mr. Graham has an associate degree in science, though I could find no information showing he has advanced psychological training. He posted a comment on Facebook advocating for NC HB2 or the "bathroom bill" from the North Carolina House of Representatives, his comment says and I quote directly, " Bruce Springsteen, a long-time gay rights activist, has canceled his North Carolina concert. He says the NC law #HB2 to prevent men from being able to use women's restrooms and locker rooms is going "backwards instead of forwards." Well, to be honest, we need to go back! Back to God. Back to respecting and honoring His commands. Back to common sense. Mr. Springsteen, a nation embracing sin and bowing at the feet of godless secularism and political correctness is not progress.

I’m thankful North Carolina has a governor, Pat McCrory, and a lieutenant governor, Dan Forest, and legislators who put the safety of our women and children first! HB2 protects the safety and privacy of women and children and preserves the human rights of millions of faith-based citizens of this state."


  
  


He says the bill sends us backwards, and that "we need to go back! Back to God" and that "I’m thankful North Carolina has a governor, Pat McCrory, and a lieutenant governor, Dan Forest, and legislators who put the safety of our women and children first! HB2 protects the safety and privacy of women and children and preserves the human rights of millions of faith-based citizens of this state." While his concerns are valid, solutions are possible, separate facilities perhaps, for transgender individuals. His reasoning, however, is exceptionally lacking in logical validity, as there is a BASIC civics concept known as Majority Rule, Minority Rights. It says that no matter how large the majority and no matter how large their power, those who are not among them still possess rights. Just because 77% of North Carolina is Christian, 3% non-christian faiths, and only 0.0002 percent is atheist and 0.0003 percent is agnostic per a Pew Research survey doesn't mean that Christians can do whatever they darn well please, they must still consider others, so the fact that the majority of North Carolina is Christian doesn't excuse infractions on the majority of the  minority, a similar situation is the case in terms of transgender individuals, take your pitiful and vile excuse for literature known as the bible out to the dump. The fact that Facebook only banned him and didn't instead delete his account is a pitiful display of their ability to create a civil environment through fear of repercussion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The second example of a religiously motivated hate crime is the vandalism a synagogue, while also being a racially motivated hate crime at the same time. Lisa Burns of Cary, North Carolina vandalized the property of her neighbors who happened to also not be of the same skin color as herself with an FU, so there's the racially motivated part, the best part is that she did the same to a synagogue and then broke its windows with bricks, her final act being caught on the doorbell camera. So, guess Jesus ain't preaching love, because it's inferred she's Christian, unfortunately, the maximum penalty she'd be given is a total of 480 days in prison, if I could I'd give her longer.                                                                                                                                                                In conclusion, religion, specifically, the Christian one doesn't seem to be spreading love. Enjoy the New Year!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Yours In Reality,                                                                                                                                                             Darwin Dawkins                                                                                           Classical Liberal                                                                                                                 Independent                                                                                                                                 agnostic atheist                                                                                                                             LGBT+ ally                                                                                                                               Running enthusiast                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Quote of the Post: "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people." - House

5 Questions Atheists Cannot Answer (Answered)

Hello All,    Sorry I haven't posted in a while, between running and schoolwork I've been busier than normal, so here's a new post. So, SJ Thompson, a religious apologist, specifically Christian, has posted 5 questions for atheists, this post is from May of last year, but I just found it today perusing the black hole of doom, gloom, and depression that is the internet.  So her first question is, " So, why do even individualists know that we ought to help the weak, feed the poor, and be honest, humble, just, cooperative, empathetic, forgiving and loving? Why is it that all societies, regardless of their practices, know what we   ought   to do? Where did we get this moral compass?" My answer is a quote from the Greater Good Magazine run by UC Berkley, " We are so used to empathy that we take it for granted, yet it is essential to human society as we know it. Our morality depends on it: How could anyone be expected to follow the golden rule without the ...

President Trump Shouldn't be In the White House

Hello All,  Would you agree that President Trump is a misogynistic, scientifically illiterate moron who should be nowhere near our nuclear weapons or the White House? He denies climate change despite the overwhelming evidence, and if you look at what the Republican Party is, it's a shell of what it once was under Lincoln. Republicans think that all the other countries are out to get us. Instead,we should just make friends and find our niche in a global economy. Trump has canceled research verifying greenhouse gas cuts. If America wants to remain a superpower without throwing its weight around to get what it wants, then it needs to move away from fossil fuels, every job in the fossil fuel industry could be outsourced to another industry, workers who maintain oil and natural gas pipelines can go into the plumbing industry, or on maintaining the coolant systems on nuclear reactors. Chemists could work on developing bioplastics, managers can be outsourced to a...

Why Impeaching Trump Is a Bad Idea

Hello All,    I'm here to write why I think it would be ill-advised to impeach Trump in the present state of the government, (as of October 25, 2018). The first, and largest problem being that if Trump is impeached, which is unlikely, even after the midterms, as this assumes a Democrat win in the House and Senate, the latter of which will be a harder race for Democrats, is Mike Pence, as a bible-thumper, arch-conservative, it's almost better to wait it out until 2020, because even Republicans are starting to dislike Trump's brand of conservatism, and Pence is further right than Trump on Gay Marriage, Abortion ( on which Trump has no consistent position I can find) and on women's rights, because of Presidential Line of Succession, Pence would take office and become the 46th POTUS, resulting in a far more conservative America that might cause a mass exodus to countries like Canada, The U.K, and the Netherlands. The Second issue is that as there may be a new Speaker of th...
