Friends don’t let friends become Christians. Or Muslims. Or Jews. Or Hindus. These so-called “religions” are not religions. They are brainwashing cult machines. It’s time we stopped thinking of them as sweet, purring little love factories that somehow deserve “religious tolerance.” They deserve nothing of the kind. Would you ‘tolerate’ a fire that’s burning down your house with your kids in it?
Christianity (the religion into which I was born, BTW), Islam, Hinduism and Judaism are antiquated, barbaric, deadly, war machines, each of which serves no other purpose than to build up a beefy army for some dude so he can wipe out some other dude’s army. They belong in the medieval period and backwards from there. Now they’re threatening to wipe the human species off the face of the map. We need to beat them to the punch: wipe them off the map first. (How is a subject covered in other posts.)
Read yet about the “Red-Diaper Babies” or “Quiverfull”? It’s the Christian War Machine screeching up into high gear, doing what it’s done for the last 6000 years: beefing itself up by forcing women flat on their backs and pumping sperm into them. One more reason friends don’t let friends do the war-god thing: if the war gods don’t kill ya in war, they’ll kill ya with babies.
Some of these women are probably forced physically, others have been brainwashed into thinking it’s holy to "submit" twenty times a day.
Red-Diaper Babies, by the way, are red-state kids with ten or more sibs – all born because their moms were told they’d go straight to hell if they didn’t boost ‘the army of the Lord’ with a 'quiverfull' of kids.
The Quiverfull movement is full, alright – full of bull. And full of “militaristic language, which describes children as weapons of spiritual war, as arrows shot out by their parents.” Read MORE in The Nation>>>>

Scary stuff. It's edifying sometimes, especially as a witch who's suffered prejudice and bewails the passivity and complicity of so many of our sisters and brothers, to read angry, powerful pieces of writing such as yours here. Thank you. x
andy, I'm not just angry, I'm furious. So many beautiful people, past and present, have been ruined by these awful war systems masquerading as 'religions.' Not just pagans and witches and people from the indigenous religions, but the adherents themselves, too: the people who've gotten trapped in Christianity, Islam, the Jewish 'religion' and Hinduism.
I've just been watching a female Mossie (Sparrow) getting aggressive with two males.
Not something I've ever seen before-usually it's the males who go into the wing-fluffing poses.
But I get furious, too, with the harm that patriarchism has done to us as a people.
Just, like Athana, I can't even begin to imagine myself starting a blood-spilling, life-wasting war over it.
Therein lies the huge difference.
Love,

Terri, yeah, the war-god people are just totally blind about where they're at. They have lots of babies so they can win wars, and then they have to HAVE wars to kill off the excess population, so then they have to make their women breed even faster, because they've lost so many soldiers. Everything they do, really, can be explained through their psychotic focus on war.
So now we're losing soldiers in Iraq -- and we get Quiverfull all of a sudden so we can pump out more babies.
Blind. Totally blind.
Don't you just want to shake these war mongers and ask them what makes them think they have the right to drop a bomb on another human being? Something is so desperately wrong with the Yahwists - they've got such an exaggerated sense of entitlement that they think it's up to them to be the arbiter of life and death. The unmitigated arrogance of these people!
When I was still an Atheist, I was told more often than I care to remember that I was displaying huge arrogance in believing that there was no god.
This always puzzled me, as the charge invariably came from Christians or Muslims. You know, those folk who think they are privy to god's thoughts.
I have a different take on deity now, but I still have a hard time understanding what is so great about being on Yahweh/Jehova/Allah's team-especially as a woman.
Perhaps there's some pathological twist in the soul of some women which inclines them to adopt a subservient posture before a male?
Love,

morgaine, there’s something wrong with them alright -- Jehovists, Yahwists and Allahists alike. It’s called Starvation Culture, and it comes from those starving people 6000 years ago. Nothing’s ever enough for them – or us (we’re part of the same culture – unless we’ve cleansed ourselves of it some, by switching from god to Goddess).
Terri, You’ve raised two very good questions. Unfortunately I can think of a hundred reasons why people stay with YAJ. And they differ from person to person.
One big reason is that it’s all that’s out there. If you want a religion, YAJ is the only religion – to date – that the Western world says is okay to join.
Another is fear. If you were born into a YAJ religion, you are probably going to have a lifelong fear of hell – unless you get deprogrammed.
Another reason (in the US anyway): social promotion. You get rewarded if you’re a Christian. Employers like it. People like it in a political candidate. Being a Christian was still one way to jig you up into a higher social class the last time I checked a sociology book. I think my mother, who's a very strong woman, dummed herself down to my dad and his Church, because she thought his family 'better' than hers (she's changed her mind on that over the years, and now sees her own family for the fab family it is, but the Church over the years has gotten its hooks into her).
I could go on about ‘culture,’ too (learned, shared, patterned and transmitted behavior that supplies the operating instructions for us that we didn’t get at birth), but I won’t.
I do not live in fear =)
Agree with you about the sadness of wives under harmful submission =(
paxton, you may not 'live in' fear, but I would suggest you 'have' fear. It's the kind of fear we all have of tornados, though -- we so seldom feel it directly, that we forget it's there.
But the fear still controls us and our behavior. Chances are we'll rush inside if we see a tornado approaching. Your fear makes you remain under the thumb of a war god, and engage in all the harmful behaviors he dictates -- harmful to you, and harmful to the rest of us as well.
