Brilliant! And true! And I think it applies to one's own children, not just other children – parents don't own their children, they are guardians and caretakers – not dictators or brutish prison guards.
Too many people think they have the right to impose their beliefs onto their children, rather than assisting them to become whoever it is that they will one day become – or realise who they were all along.
I want you be as practically correct as you are ideologically. There's a lot of parents that don't see anything wrong with indoctrinating their children.
Just like a drunk abusive parent indoctrinating their children into the habit.
A lot of parents are mistaken, then.
The most important thing is to be emotionally mature, so as to provide a solid foundation for their children – insecure parents pass on their insecurities to their children.
Ideally, only emotionally mature people would ever have children, or raise children.
I'm never having kids, as I don't pass muster. I don't even have a pet cat, though I adore cats.
And...keep yours out of my vagina, too! (I think about this a lot while working at Planned Parenthood. How many of these hypocrites would come running into the procedure room, yelling "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" and smugly rip the speculum out of a patient. You KNOW they would, if they could.)
Every time I catch them in there greed I call the religious people men penis religion. I was scared to say it in my younger years. But I am tired, please stop the men penis religion. Why do there wives don't work and all of them get cushy government jobs to support there good wives, sugar babies, tons of children. Infact the workers are paying for it. They are always promoted to corporate. Big corporation refuses to pay the worker but have lot of money for corporate travel,. Same with catholic charities.
I read the title if this and immefuately thought: How dare you insult my penis, then read the small print and roared with laughter.
I think religion is more like a vagina:
I'm not sure if that makes religion more like a vagina or a Taiwanese hooker but you get the idea.
@Brascan The fact is the comparison would work with a hooker of any nationality but I'm partial to Asians so...
must be a really boring hooker if you fall asleep, why would you pay her?
Even when I wanted to give it a try it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Other ways it’s like a penis:
Invite one into your life and you’ll get screwed.
Getting rid of it after inviting it in may cause excessive drama.
A lot of people who have one tend to be overly eager to share it.
They all have nuts hangin around.
Well said!
Lol - but it is not fine to have a religion, nor to be proud of it - it is shameful and destructive - it is the triumph of wish over realism - it is deliberately chosen insanity - it is cheap - dirty - it is the abandonment of morality - religious people have done the worst things in history - because they could believe god was on their side - that they were justified - religion is evil - when a person deliberately chooses insanity, look out - they will do anything - have no feeling - but feel good doing the worst things - the greatest human sin is finite, not infinite - so to punish humans sins with infinite punishment is infinitely cruel, loveless, evil, unjust - and christians are so hardhearted that they have never noticed or minded this in 2000 yrs - how bad is that? - be an antitheist - besides, it is mad to punish humans for their sins when they didn't make themselves - whatever made them is to blame, not humans - but humans in their innocence have accepted this blame
