I only wish i could live to see the day when stone age beliefs will be overcome by science and religion especially in this country(USA). This country was founded on the principle of the separation of church and state, in which our founders has clearly stated in our constitution, and if anyone was to care to read the writings in the letters and journals of at least half the ones who had laid down their life to fight for our independence (because if they had not won the war, they would have been hanged by England for Treason) this country would still be an English colony But somehow the word god, btw grammar police God is a name, not an entity. It is on our money, court house rituals, pledge of allegiance to our country, schools, over 350,000 tax exempt churches, and so many other things that I just can't recall them all. Every politician that gets on a stage to debate each other for an election tries to out Jesus one another. So where is the separation? Every other civilized western country in the world has clearly proven they don't give a shit, so what is this countries problem? What is the frabric that holds this country together with the idea of a god? I understand no one wants to die and live forever but it is every where one looks, there is always something or someone in the last stages of its life. I personally have been pronounced dead once in my life due to an electrical arc blast, 85% percent of my body was burnt , and I must say that has to be one of, if not the most painful way to die. It was on a job site and it did not knock me out. I stood around for approximatly 20 minutes before an ambulance arrived. While waiting in agonizing pain I could see the bones in my hands and forearms that the blast had burnt away in what seemed like eternity, but realistically was 15 or so seconds. I didn't go into shock until being loaded in the ambulance and the E.M.T. was cutting off my boots, belt, and what few seams of clothing that was left and wasn't melted into the rest of my body. In less than two weeks I was dead of an infection. With being ressusitated and the right antibiotics I survived, by science. No bright lights, or anything but darkness. Just like being asleep or before being born. 3 months later when I was brought out of my drug induced comma, more pain and agony was again was upon me for 3 months of rehabilitation. If hell exist, it is here on earth, not after you are dead. I am sharing my personal experience about death because I have been dead and nothing else exist. I can say death is not to be feared because you do not know you are dead. These preachers, preist or whatever that can stand before a crowed room and tell you what is going to happen when you die is amazing how they can lie with a straight face, like a used car salesman. Such sacks of shit. I have been there and done that. They have not, the only thing they know, and refuses to read any other material sometimes amazes me withe willfull ignorance and arrogance they have. Anyway that is my death experience, time to move on. Every one wants to say USA is no.1, but I ask in what? Nothing I have found, it used to be obesity but we lost that to Mexico! The 50's and 60's are gone, and we lost decent music in the late 80's and early 90's. People still crow that USA is no1, but to those I say, pick up a book and read one now and then. We have a constitutional right to go take back our country to rid it of the cancerous right wing nut jobs and idealogical leftist, by force if necessary. 3 or 4 years ago our military has said they will not interfere in any action taken upon Wash. D.C I don't know how bad things has to get before anyone does anything, perhaps the conditions of China, Russia, North Korea, or just pick a country in the middle east.. The people who actually run the show are very content with keeping us fat, lazy, and compliant with 10,000 t.v. channels and are constantly coming up with more ways to keep us zoned out in a dazed and confused state of mind so know one can see the real wizard behind the curtain. Its being going on far too long, time to burn that curtain and wizard with it if needed. Civilizations has came and went many times over the past thousands of years, but at least they lasted a thousand years minimum. The rate of decline is so rapid we are going to belong to China within another 100, if you figure in our national debt, they already do, and one of these shortly numbered days they are going to want to collect. Basically tthe summary of writing is how religion has held back the advacement of the human race at least a thousand years, caused over 90% of all wars since recorded history and how the powers to be still allow it to influence the lives of not only this country, but every human on this planet in one way or another. Of course goverment is one hand that washes the hand of religion. Both need to be dismantled and destroyed so that we the people can come together as one collectivally to fix this planet and contunue to progress before the final death nail has been driven into the coffin of the human race.
