Grow the hell up

[innocent_lex]

I'm sick and tired of religious people - those who claim over and over and over to have ownership of morality and what's right, who claim that they're all about peace - threatening each other with violence over the smallest and most pointless bollocks. I'm coming down firmly on the side of utter disgust. I'm beginning to approve of Dara O'Briain's approach: stick 'em all in a sack and beat them with a stick.

And here I'm going to come out and say it, because it's my reality: nobody's invisible friend is any better than anyone else's invisible friend. The fact that people are claiming their invisible friends urge them to behave this way is no excuse at all. It's pathetic, it's horrifying, it's infantile and if this is what we've brought ourselves to as a species, then we're all fucking useless.

Grow up. Seriously. The amount of killing and maiming and torture and abuse that goes on in the name of 'truth' is fucking disgusting.

Wait, you have cards for that? Was that by mail-order? You can get anything via the internet these days. Or so I hear. *ahem*

I've been avoiding the news today, because it's loaded with 'statements' from every stoopid leader with an opinion, interspersed with scenes of rioting and threats of violence. It's just more and more disappointing. Apparently a lot of people aren't happy unless they know they have power over other people's lives. Is that nature or nurture? Are we doomed as a species to be such arseholes?

BTW: The Dara O'Briain thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RstwLzikmvA (I just added it to the post).

Also? Nice arse. Really. It's good to have a show to watch where the two leads are such a joy to watch. And their acting's not bad, either. *ba boom!*

Numinous, eh? New word of the day, and very appropriate re discussion of shows and backsides. Still couldn't beat callipygian.

Numinous is a good word. And my Small actually has a callypgian arse, as does her father. And yes, they are very cute.

Oh! I'd only seen Dara on the 'Three men and a boat' thingies, but I followed your links and he's an absolute hoot. Thank you for that.
