Racism



The term “Racism” in its various forms, has been an overused term over the bulk of the last 10 years. It seems that if you are white and don’t agree with the outgoing President Obama’s policies, you are considered as being racist. 

Never mind the fact that everyone is entitled to have an opinion and maybe – just maybe – I dislike him for other reasons than skin tone. Like how Mr. Hope and Change, Presidential Candidate Obama, who promised to give the American people something different, turns into President Obama, who has given us more of the same shit his predecessor has given us and more.

Yet his supporters turn a blind eye to that and are quick on the draw with the race card, Now we’re not going to get into what Obama has and has not accomplished in his eight years but his legacy will go down in history as being the most racially intoxicated President America has seen in the 21st century. 

There are certain white/black social constructs that have been born with every human being. Let’s face it, America is a nation that was conceived by slave owners that created a foundation of beliefs that all men were created equal and has a history of genocide and gross mistreatment of blacks (African Americans or whatever they want to be called these days) 

I get it. It was horrible but the operative word there is was

I never personally owned slave of any color and I’m sure that the black folks alive today were never slaves, picking cotton for their massah’s, so get over it already. 

How do you plan to progress and move forward if your focus is on the past? 


Racism is more subtle than bigotry. 

It seems in today’s politically correct, overly sensitive, desensitized society of crybabies and whiners, it is perfectly acceptable to walk around screaming black lives matter while society attempts to shame people for being white. Hate is everywhere because of a random accident of birth that no one of us had control over. 

However that same society, that feels that it’s easier to categorize everyone into certain groups – the society that plays that race card like some sort of immunity idol to make excuses for bad decisions and poor life choices… has become the racists they abhor. They are a parody of what they despise and are the most hateful and dangerous in a so called civilized.

I am all for equal rights. It shouldn’t matter what your skin color is or whether or not you have a penis or whatever the label you sport, tags you as. But equal means equal. You have the same rights and freedoms as I do and everyone else. You are free to marry. You are free to walk around anywhere you like, provided it is where the government allows...

And you are also able to be the target of ridicule and jokes, just like the rest of us. You can’t cherry pick what parts of equality you want. It’s all or nothing. I have seen black students want the college campuses to now include “safe zones” essentially bringing back segregation. Be careful what you ask for. The first black president (as his supporters love to point out) will go down in history as the president that set race relations in America back fifty years.

Good job. 

You can agree with me or not, you can call me a racist, I don’t care. That card has been dropped so many times that it has lost all of its power. I have just as much right to have an opinion as anyone and you can’t take it away because you don’t agree. You can show how unstable you are mentally by threatening to kill me but all that would do is prove my point and land your ass in jail. Remember, we live in a (semi) civilized society and there are laws and consequences when you elect to step outside the realm of sanity because your feelings get hurt.

Why Abort It When You Can Wait A Few Years and Fuck It?

Here's an article I wrote back in 2010 as Fed Up American.

Enjoy!


Why Abort It When You Can Wait A Few Years and Fuck It
A history of lies, cover ups, hypocrisy and sexual misconduct in the Catholic Church
By Fed Up American


They march into their dens willingly every week as they obediently give up their financial offerings - and their children. For more than thirty years the victims of sexual abuse have been coming forth and are being ignored by not only the church but also by law enforcement.

Church hierarchy all the way to the Vatican have compared the church with the secular world, arguing that media coverage of the issue has been excessive given that abuse occurs in other institutions. The difference being that “other institutions” found guilty of sexual abuse have been dealt with in the criminal courts. For some reason, the Catholics think of themselves as above the law. Case after case of child molestation by priests has been covered up – literally for centuries.

As Pope Benedict begs for forgiveness, he offers an empty promise of “better screening” of church volunteers and low level workers but again avoids actually punishing any pedophile priest.

Why is it that we are allowing this?

When does the abuser get to decide their fate?
The 2004 John Jay Report was based on a study of 10,667 allegations against 4,392 priests accused of engaging in sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002. The number 4,392 represents four percent of the 109,694 priests in active ministry during that time. Approximately:
  • 56 percent had one reported allegation against them; 27 percent had two or three allegations against them; nearly 14 percent had four to nine allegations against them; 3 percent (149 priests) had 10 or more allegations against them. These 149 priests were responsible for almost 3,000 victims, or 27 percent of the allegations.
  • The allegations were substantiated for 1,872 priests and unsubstantiated for 824 priests. They were thought to be credible for 1,671 priests and not credible for 345 priests. 298 priests and deacons who had been completely exonerated are not included in the study.
  • 50 percent were 35 years of age or younger at the time of the first instance of alleged abuse.
  • Almost 70 percent were ordained before 1970.
  • Fewer than 7 percent were reported to have themselves been victims of physical, sexual or emotional abuse as children. Although 19 percent had alcohol or substance abuse problems, only 9 percent were reported to have been using drugs or alcohol during the instances of abuse.
There were approximately 10,667 reported minor victims of clergy sexual abuse during this period:
  • Around 81 percent of these victims were male.
  • 22.6% were age 10 or younger, 51% were between the ages of 11 and 14, and 27% were between the ages to 15 to 17 years.
  • A substantial number (almost 2000) of very young children were victimized by priests during this time period.
  • 9,281 victim surveys had information about an investigation. In 6,696 (72%) cases, an investigation of the allegation was carried out. Of these, 4,570 (80%) were substantiated; 1,028 (18%) were unsubstantiated; 83 (1.5%) were found to be false. In 56 cases, priests were reported to deny the allegations.
  • More than 10 percent of these allegations were characterized as not substantiated. (This does not mean that the allegation was false; it means only that the diocese or order could not determine whether the alleged abuse actually took place.)
  • For approximately 20 percent of the allegations, the priest was deceased or inactive at the time of the receipt of the allegation and typically no investigation was conducted in these circumstances.
  • In 38.4% of allegations, the abuse is alleged to have occurred within a single year, in 21.8% the alleged abuse lasted more than a year but less than 2 years, in 28% between 2 and 4 years, in 10.2% between 5 and 9 years and, in under 1%, 10 or more years.
Many of the reported acts of sexual abuse involved fondling or unspecified abuse. There were also a large number of allegations of more grave abuse, including acts of oral sex and intercourse. Detailed information on the nature of the abuse was not reported for 26.6% of the reported allegations. 27.3% of the allegations involved the cleric performing oral sex on the victim. 25.1% of the allegations involved penile penetration or attempted penetration.

It's easy to think that amid the all of the allegations of sexual abuse currently scarring the Catholic Church, the cover-ups that have followed have been locally driven. But as the current Pope Benedict scandal suggests, the church cover-ups appear to implicate its highest ranks including Ratzinger himself.

Revelations that the Vatican halted the investigation of a Wisconsin priest accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys where 67 deaf men and women accused two dozen priests of raping and molesting children for years.

  
Church documents, official testimony, and victim interviews gathered over the past year paint an extraordinary picture of secrecy and deception in the Boston Archdiocese; a culture in which top church officials coddled abusive priests and permitted them to molest again, while stonewalling or paying off the victims of that abuse.

And this goes on and on every day. When are people going to stop supporting these crimes?

Woman Hush

Our sermon today comes from our buddy Timmy
1 Timothy 2:12
“But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.”
 The old "Go forth and maketh me a sammitch" word of God. This is one of my favorites.

SHUT THE FUCK UP WOMAN! I AM MAN AND THERE IS A DAMN GOOD REASON YOU MAKING 75 cents FOR EVERY DOLLAR I MAKE!

And you have the nerve to ask yourself why women have been and still are treated like shit compared to their male counterparts.

Don’t worry Im not going to go all Feminazi on you but with this kind of bullshit being drummed into our heads like this, there is no fucking wonder. To get their morals from a fucking book that accepts murder, rape and slavery and that its perfectly fine to treat women as second class citizens.

Its perfectly fine to try to wipe out other crazy people simply because they dont believe the same
crazy shit as I do. Yeah...PERFECTLY FINE. Oh and lets not for get incest. I can overlook the talking snakes, rib women and zombie messiahs but looking at the big picture...looking at religion and Christianity...in its entirety...or what it is...???

Perfectly Fine. Nothing to see here. Move along and worship me. Just ignore everything but give me my cut. You cant get into my special place if you dont give me your money.
Such utter fucking nonsense. I swear, I have no idea how ANYONE can set foot in a place that is all about such garbage.

Christians judge people all the time and I dont even think they realize it being trapped in their own little fantasies. Their curses to have us "burn in hell" in and of itself is the single most judgmental thing that can bet uttered and there isnt a day that passes without a good Christian soldier saying that to me.

Imposing their beliefs on others and (what I fucking cant stand) the ringing of doorbells is judgmental in the regards that they think I give a shit about their fantasies and I always let them know in no uncertain terms that I AM REVEREND ZESTY! The one and only original Atheist minister.

They tell me they will pray for me. I tell them thats fan-fucking-tastic, I'll think for them.


You see, the message I preach from my pulpit is quite opposite from what you hear when you walk into any church regardless of denomination. Traditionally, churches teach slavery. My church, Provenance Ministries teaches self reliance. To be the absolute best you can be. To live life to its fullest and lift up your fellow primate to levels of prosperity. We dont pass around the collection plate, we request needs.

Judge Not Ye Fuckers, Lest Ye Be Judged

LOL! This title reminded me "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is coming up quickly - September 19th - so mark your calendars. It falls on a Saturday this year.

Our sermon today comes from the book of Matthew
Matthew 7:5 
"You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Another bit of irony from the book of jokes called The Holy Bible. If not anything else this book IS entertaining. I especially enjoy the way humor is interwoven with murder, rape, slavery and other recreational activities.

Have you ever read the fucking thing? I realize most people have not, ESPECIALLY Christians, they get caught up on just certain phrases and passages that fit in best with their lifestyle and ignore the rest.

So let's take a look at some examples of non-judging Christians, shall we? Hmmmmmm....???

Couple of things that come to mind without even doing any research are Christians saying "you will burn in hell". Fuck I hear THAT one all the time because of something I have said or done the offended their overly sensitive, thin skinned, tight assed feelings.

Or what about those fun loving folks from The Westboro Baptist Church? They seem like a tolerant bunch of Christs followers.

But then a Christian will respond to these two examples given with "Oh well they're not REALLY
Christians" AGAIN showing their common Christian love and TOTALLY IGNORING what supposed Christ has said in The Bible. (You can tell when Christ was speaking because the author wrote those parts with a red tipped quill hundreds or years after Jesus uttered them)

But that's all just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Christians not following their faith unless it suits them. We've known for a long time: Christians will distort the Bible to say whatever they want it to say. They project their personal beliefs onto the Bible, not draw those beliefs from it. They’re happy to take passages out of context when it suits their needs and ignore them when it doesn't. This is a common practice used by politicians, clergy and the common everyday peasant.


It seems like Christianity’s mostly about being judgmental, narrow-minded, and having an infuriatingly condescending attitude toward anyone who isn’t a Christian.


So yeah all you Christian hypocrites can all just go fist fuck yourselves!!

Get out of my life, stop telling me how to live my life and most of all STOP RINGING MY FUCKING DOORBELL! You are a waste of space on this earth and I've had enough of your judgmental asshole cunt shit fuck attitudes!

And you all tell me that you will pray for me. Thanks. That's great since I have to think for you. Not really an even trade but if it keeps your silly delusions away from me, I'll take it.


Judgmental Hypocritical. Superiority complex. Schizophrenic. Just plain out of their mind nuts.

You can pity them. You can mock them. Personally I find them entertaining. I DO however will fight them tooth and nail when they try to shove their beliefs at me like some perv chasing a child with his flacid penis hanging out of his pants. So be warned...I am no child. I am someone that actually has read your Bible. From cover to cover. It's quite enlightening. It's the reason I became an Atheist.

I Hate Christians...Here's Why

Not a day goes by where I’m not asked by a Christian, “What happened to you to make you hate God so much? Why are you so angry at Christians?” 

So let me just answer this question once and for all, and the next time anyone asks, I can just forward them to this blog entry.

In order to make it so the mind of a Christian can easily understand, I will have to explain it in the form of a story. I wish I could explain this in a better way, but because the minds of Christians have been conditioned from birth to understand things that are put in story form, it’s the most efficient way to explain this to you.


So here goes:


Once upon a time, there was a vast country called Americhrist. Now, it just so happened, that every single person in the entire country of Americhrist was born retarded. It was from no fault of their own as they are born into retardation. Every single man, woman, and child all completely, mentally retarded.

Welcome to Americhrist

They couldn’t help being retards any more than  someone who was born left handed could help it.

Retardation was just normal.

Then, suddenly, one day in the land of Americhrist,  about 15% of all the babies began to be born non-retarded.  15% were born with what you and I would call a “normal” level of intelligence .
Now imagine the 15% of babies who were born non-retarded growing up in a society where 85% of the people are mentally retarded. The non-retarded people, obviously, are smart enough to realize that the other 85% of the people around them are totally mentally retarded.

And, while you’re imagining, imagine what a world which is run by the 85% retards would look like. It would be polluted and violent and have arbitrary laws that are, in a word, retarded. It would be full of grown-ups who believe in fairy tales, and who are willing to kill anyone who disagrees that these fairy tales are true.

Now, imagine that the 15% non-retarded people found a cure for mental retardation. They could finally improve the future of all of humanity greatly by curing the mental retardation of the other 85%.

Only thing is, the 85% retarded people enjoy being retarded. They enjoy it very much. Ignorance is total bliss, and it doesn’t matter that they cage more of their fellow man in prison than any other country on earth; they don’t care that they are involved in wars that kill hundreds of thousands of strangers; and they don’t even care that they are killing their host planet.

Being retarded is really fun and easy. Thinking is hard, and the retarded majority of Americhrist will fight tooth and nail to keep from being cured.

Now, imagine you were in that 15% who were not retarded. Wouldn’t you be angry? Wouldn’t you scream and cuss at the stupid retards?


Wouldn’t you yell, “You fools, can’t you see how primitive you are? Can’t you see how violent and stupid you are? Can’t you see what you are doing to your host planet? What is wrong with you?”

But the retarded people won’t listen. They cannot grasp these concepts. They just want you to shut your stupid mouth so they can keep on playing in their fantasy world.

This is why I’m angry and frustrated. I know it’s not your fault. You can’t help that you are retarded, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating for those of us who are not.

Americhrist is not just a make believe place.
