Ouija Boards and Other Fun Stuff

In doing research for some upcoming shows, I have viewed countless video's and have read some crazy ass shit on how people feel about a toy. A fucking board game.

A board game that apparently can open portals to hell, which is rather convenient because I was looking for a new and interesting vacation spot and I LOATHE tourists. So hell seems like a fun place to me.

But I digress...

Every damn video that I viewed, every damn one of the articles that I have read, they ALL were reeking of bullshit. Demons have been summoned, dead people were contacted like the Ouija was some sort of heavenly phone system and angels cried. But these religious folks who swear that "people need to leave these things alone because they're dangerous," all have that same tearful story they share of their one horrifying lie about when they unintentionally summoned a demon.

I also came across some great material regarding snake handlers ALWAYS finding the ones where the snake bit the preacher particularly funny. In seeing this, my beliefs were confirmed about religion retards the common sense gene. You play with a dangerous, wild snake, it should not surprise you when you get bit. Us Atheist's have a word for people like you: Dumbfucks we call you.


But the scary thing about this is that having religious beliefs is the norm for the vast majority of people. Laws are created with religious beliefs in mind. People live their lives around the #1 fictional best seller of all time. Some kill either in the name of their God or believe that their God told them to.

Try as I might I cant see the attraction.

I prefer more of a reality based belief system. One based on facts...I'm funny that way. I like being able to explain things logically and intellectually. I find it unacceptable to believe in "God's will" that people starve and are miserable while others consume untold riches.

I DO try to respect the views of others and I know I should allow other to believe what the fuck they want but it get's increasingly difficult when I see planes flying into buildings and people killing their children in the name of God. (Or their interpretation of the word of God OR their mental delusions)

I dont see that as being something I can accept as a functioning human being.


So yeah these people are societal norms and I being an Atheist is looked at like there's something wrong with me. Like MY thought process is flawed. Maybe this is my I never really joined the cliques or jumped on the bandwagons, always swam against the flow, always questioning, always learning, moment.

Sorry, but I will continue to believe in NOT believing.
