Fresh Meat on Why Humanity Stands at the Edge of the Cliff

Submitted by Radreview on April 8, 2006 - 9:00pm.

More simplistic Bush-bashing and atheist-leaning blogs tonight have pushed me into this following rant, so just shut up for a second and read.

No, President Bush is not a bad president. He is a nonexistent president, and there is a difference. He lets Cheney and Rove run everything and that's what makes him "dangerously incompetent" as a leader.

The current immigration legislative disaster is case in point. There is no way out at this juncture. California business owners and farm operators are going to lose no matter how that cow is gutted. That topic has gone horribly neglected, like a starving baby in a hidden crib, while Bush continues to play war in Iraq.

Skipping over to atheism, it is incomprehensible how any rational human being can say that atheism itself is not a "belief system." Yes, it is a belief system! Atheists believe that there is no God. That is a religion; granted, a diametrically different religion that what Christians, Muslims or Jews believe, but a religion nonetheless.

Remember how the long-running sitcom "Seinfeld" was labeled "the show about nothing?" Well, atheism is "the religion about nothing."

Now I could ramble on about both these topics but I will leave that up to the other commentators who are juicing up that line of thought far better than I can.

The one unifying principle here is that we humans on Earth are all standing on the edge of a cliff, and one more little push will take us into an abyss from which we might never climb out.

1. I agree that Bush could be something like an accidental president but he is NOT evil. There is the lunatic of Iran and the madman of North Korea who are BAD LEADERS.
2. I agree Atheism is a religion. If you are on a STRONG BELIEF to deny the existence of God that means you have the "faith" that there is no God. Thus you're right !
3. Sometimes the fact that you HAVE to deny God's existence means that He MUST exist. --- ummm.... you write great!

Wow! You make sense ...

... How about these examples: There can be no good without evil; no friends without enemies; no fun without misery; no happiness without sadness ... the list can go on. And, there can be no atheism without God. I'm putting you on my buddy list.

blast the head off that North Korean president who is a lunatic who thinks he is "a god". Now, that's supposed to be an atheistic state but he claims to be "a god".
There's the loony president of Iram who denies the holocaust and "plays" with nukes as if it were a video game. Reminds me of Nero. These people are evil, BAD, should be assasinated (ooopps!) But Bush is NOT in that league. I hoped Terry would have won but he didn't ! Bush is the president, some peopl would have to simply deal with that and TRY not blaming ALL the ills of the world on him. He's "just" there and is contrained to make decisions -- heven some admittedly "bad" ones. He ain't perfect! Will add u to my buddy list too -- was in yer blogcharn btw :)

agreed

the way i see it, bush is merely there to take attention away from what the government is doing. a helplessly incompetent "smokescreen" of a man, he offers all the people who think he is the problem a great chance to offer up their opinions while still feeling morally just, socially hip, and completely accepted. president bush is not the problem like they say, he is a symptom, a symptom of the disease of which you speak. you're absolutly right about the abyss, it's there, it's deep, and it's out for blood. our only problem, to keep with this, is that we've let the people who are usually riding in the back get on top of the wagon and yell out directions to the people who usually steer. and the ones who fix the brakes? they've washed their hands of us long ago. you're right about athiests too, you're dead on. when your "non-religion" has no origin except in the need to denounce all others, you're a religion. i've always thought that a true athiest would believe in all gods. the acceptance of one negates the other, right? so the acceptance of all would negate all of them. i mean, you can accept and not believe. i accept there is a christian religion, but i don't personally believe in it. i accept there is buddhism, i don't believe in it. it's foolish to loudly proclaim your religion as the right one, it's even more foolish to proclaim other people's religions don't exist, and you personally don't believe in them. sorry about the rant, but people like i've just mentioned really rev my engine.

p.s. sorry to change it from standing on the cliff to hurtling towards it, you say tomato, i say tomaato.
