Religion=War?

Or one of the lies that people tell each other.

This is a rerun on an entry from 2010

 

 


Typical of the historical illiteracy (and lies) that some of the most evangelical of atheist like to say is one of their reason for being atheists.

“Religion has caused most most of the worlds wars.”

What you are looking at is a classic example of the sad stretching of facts, that we see when these evangelical atheists try to say a war was caused by religion.

 Only a total idiot would think that WW II was a religious war.

The theory works like this. Did the people who went to war have a religion? As all cultures who ever existed have or had a region. So the answer is alway yes.

Because their religion effected them in some way, the war must be due to that region. And whatever you do at all times just ignore the atheistic communists

who hold all records for the number ofpeople killed in war or murdered for their cause.

The facts are when you look at all of histories wars, asking yourself the simplest of questions. What started the war? Why was it fought?  The real answer is . . .

Only 7% of all war were fought over religion. With a little more than half of those involving one religion Islam. That’s right of the 1,763 wars chronicled in the

“Encyclopedia of Wars” . 93% of all wars were fought for secular reasons.

 

Some reasons I believe

 

http://mtngirlsouth.xanga.com/ She just did a songs I hate entry. Go look at hers because she did a better job than this one

 

There are some songs I just love to hear, but I hate them.

Hinder’s – Lips Of An Angel is the worst of the lot. I love the way it sounds, but this is a song about a lying cheating couple. They are dirt bags, the lowest of lows.

Its a love song about cheating and they have no plans on stopping.

 

I feel bad liking it.

 

Do you guys have any songs that make you feel almost guilty because you like the song?

You want to think you are too high class, but you enjoy it.

 

 

 

The word means “woman-hater,”


Sarah Palin
Michele Bachmann
Michelle Malkin
Ann Coulter

Even Hillery Clinton

Everyone of them. (Maybe Hillary is sort of out of it now, but in her day she had them saying she should be beaten half to death in order to get her to drop out of the presidential race.) I have seen all of these woman, in the last seven days, in different places, described as some sort of ugly, evil, female dog, that the world would be better off without. In other words someone please kill them. Oh yeah, never forget to insult their looks more than once. Being conservative woman of course, they must also be stupid. Hillary being liberal, just call her a bitch two different ways. We all know liberals are so smart.(sarcasm alert!)

I can’t think of a single woman involved in politics or political commentary who does not find themselves described in such terms. Yes the guys hear it as well, but nowhere near as often, and the insults are nowhere near as personal and vile. Obama gets called a socialist and a liar. And he is the number one male political target right now. He is drawing more fire than anyone else, though most of it is far from personal (liar). When you’re number one (and not telling the truth) what do you expect?

But a Sara Palin is ridiculed constantly in the most personal ways (by people with half her IQ and none of her personal accomplishments). what is she? A past Governor and failed VICE presidential nominee. Not exactly the number one political opponent who needs to be shot down. Yet so many see fit to call her daughters whores and ridicule her baby. When not busy insulting everything else about her. Few of those who are insulting her, even know anything specific about her political views. Other than she is not liberal. Being folksy, a woman, and pretty is enough for them to hate her.

I say we are seeing simple misogyny and nothing else. And oh yes, some of the worst misogynists are other woman.

On my entry about Prison rape, a comment was made about not being able to do anything about prisoners abusing each other. Because we do not have the money to do that. Our schools and even the prisons need that money. The original guy did not say this ( 2 others did) but, the position amounts to …

“prisoners will just need to keep taking it in the ass, we do not have the money to help them”.

I replied that our schools and prisons are over funded. School funding was not the topic but it is today.

School Spending: And the almost religious belief that we do not spend enough money on them.

 

The USA spends more money per student than every nation on earth, except the tiny nation of Switzerland. A nation that is very rich and its people have very small families (link)

 

 

Our teachers are underpaid

USA K-12 Teachers pay

 

With more than a few rape posts making the blogging rounds. Some comments even hint that prison rape is simply justice. It is time to rerun a 4 year old entry of mine.

60,000 inmates admit to being raped every year. And all you hear about it are jokes involving soap on a rope and some guy named Bubba.  We send a minor drug offender to spend a year in jail and he is ganged raped the entire time he is there. Later he dies of AIDS or hepatitis.

All this happens under the watchfully eye of prison staff. And what about that staff. In some institutions 27 percent of female prisoners report being sexually abused. In the majority of those cases, it is claimed it was the guards who did it.

Interesting if true, and a good explanation for the 60,000 rapes that happen right in front of them every year. All these numbers came from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics. So it is not like this is happening, and they don’t know about .

So what does this say about us? We are letting this happen and then making noises about being a civilized people.

We send young men into prison, then sexually abuse them for a few years. What sort of men are we then releasing back into society?

It’s not funny, stop laughing. It’s not justice, no just people would stand for it.

The One Year Sentence for Rape that so outraged everyone on xanga. Lets not get into the that case. But the truth is that those 2, 17 year old guys who were sentenced to one year in prison, or until 21 years old at the longest. They will be getting out. The crime they committed, I do not think anyone believes deserves a life sentence. That means they will be released someday. In everyone’s wildest dreams of vengeance, the day will come that they are on the streets again.

Is it really funny and a good idea that they would spend their time in jail being sexuality abused?

Do you think they will make you a good neighbor when they get out?

 

 

 

If I leave here tomorrow …. would you still remember me?

 

Seriously now, Xanga is all about those of us who write blogs and those of us who comment on them. We are very discussion and relationship oriented. We live for new blood here. We are not Facebook, where only your real world “friends”  are allowed to see your stuff. As if any of us have 500 real friends

We on Xanga are a community of people who want to interact with each other. But we are letting ourselves be chased into our own little walled gardens. Where we will slowly die from a lack of new blood

Unless you really are only posting private stuff, to your real world friends, take your site off of friends lock. The trolls want you to do lock your sites up,  stop running from them. When you go on friends lock, you take yourself off of the top blogs. And you lose the ability to meet new people. As go sign in lock, that also takes you off of top blogs. Xanga wants those coming to xanga for the first time to be able to read the top blog. No one can rate your site if they do not sign in anyway, so there is little reason to use sign in lock, unless you do not want someone you have blocked to read your blog. You can make it so those not signed in can not comment. That hurts nothing at all and lets you block the creeps out there, one at a time.

 

If Xanga stops being a good place for discussion and meeting new people. I will go to a bigger and better blogging site. I have had a little success on on blogger in the past. If Xanga is going to be a walled garden, I would rather go there than stay here with just a handful of people talking to each other from behind their block walls.

If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?

 

Are you going let the trolls win?

 

 

 

 

Yesterdays entry was number one until the EX dude hit it enough times to get it filtered off the front page. He lost a couple of fake sites doing that, but I think he has more than a few of them. So the entry did not do as much good as it could have. Its up to you guys it let Xanga know this is a real problem, its not my battle, this sort of thing is hurting Xanga as a company.  A lot of people are locking their sites up behind friends lock and that is not a good thing.

Thank you guys for helping each other. Just remember to go and honestly rate everyone on this list, if you have time. At least do it as you as you visit other sites.

Also if your site needs to be cleaned up http://eugenia.xanga.com/ will do that for you. Even being rated a C takes you off of the Top blogs

You guys should also send suggestions about the rating system to http://thexangateam.xanga.com/. This is not a minor problem, everyone hiding behind friends lock is not good for Xanga. The issue should be a lot more important to Xanga than to any one of us.

Please recommend and comment, tell me when this entry gets its first EX rating. That makes shutting down the sites doing it easier

No more on this subject I do not find it fun at all. Xanga will fix this mess or …. Just make sure they hear from you

Right now we have some moron on Xanga going to sites and rating them EX. Doing that shuts the site down to everyone who has not given Xanga some ID proving they are over 18, so they can view porn. In other words almost everyone is shut out of the site except the freak doing it. Not surprisingly he seems to have an ex rating on some of his fake accounts (do we view porn much little man?). It is likely it is only one warped little loser doing this. A guy who has too much time on his hands,  no real life, and a lot of fake accounts. Team Xanga seems to be too small these days to do much about it

This is what everyone needs to do

On every xanga you visit unless it is nasty and pornographic. Go to the top of their site, hit ratings, and give them an A rating on their main page. That will make it it so they can not be shut down by some freak.

You are visiting me right now I have 13 ex ratings right now. Yes whoever it is, they are trying to do it to me. Give me an A rating (not here do it on my main page) and pick 10 commentators here and  do the same thing with them.

Now I know you guys hate to do it but recommend this entry and leave a comment. DO it now!!!!

Yes this subject needs to be at the top of the front page.

We need to EX bomb proof everyone and ruin this moron’s fun

 

Sites that are shut down as of now, that I know of

 

http://lkjslain.xanga.com   She is open again but give her some help so it does not happen again

http://myxldove.xanga.com   They hit him hard so help him if you can get to his site

http://roadlesstaken.xanga.com/  His site was close to being EXed. he did not have a lot of EX’s but no one else had rated him. One more and he was toast

 

I am 29 years old. I was raised on a farm. I am a Christian, my father is an elder in his church. I teach Sunday school. I’m married to a man (a firefighter) who spent a year building a christian orphanage in Brazil. That makes him a former missionary.

If that is all you knew about me. Can you tell me something about myself.

Am I strong willed and opinionated, or meek and submissive?

Do I work? Am I successful? What sort of job should I have?

Interests? What sort of interests should I have?

In other words do you have any stereotypical ideas, about what I should be like?

And am I the way you would think I would be from this description?

__________

 

At 15 I told my father to keep his God to himself and leave me alone. Yet I really did believe in God. I was just being a willful little bitch. To both of my fathers.

Virginity? Oh that did not last long really. I was always extremely physical. But I always claimed to be in love. I lied a lot

School was easy, other than English grammar. I honestly thought that I was much smarter than almost every teacher I ever had. And I took personal offense at a lowered grade over my miss spellings.

Getting out of high school classes to go to a community college as a high school junior. That was so much better. My grades improved in the harder environment. Such a “smart girl” I was.

An athlete, an enforcer in a combative sport (Water Polo) . I was tough, physical and mean. I enjoyed being a bit scary with my broad shoulders and muscles.

A party animal yes I was. My parents lost control of me very young. But they always had hope and kept supporting me.

PLU on my own. A drunken party animal, my grades went to hell. My parents gave up on me, through me out, no money no nothing.

Became roomies with some other girls who screwed up. I was the only one selling coffee, instead of my body at Foxes. They made a lot more money than I did. It was temping. And the hours were very good. I never did do that.

Men, I moved in with . . .  well I did, enough said.

Drunken irresponsibility,  someone was killed over it. A child left without any parents.

Never stopped believing in God. But I hated him. He held me back, he told me I was not so smart as I thought I was.

 

Beware of what you think you know.

 

Would your guesses about me be different knowing these things?

 

If you only knew me when these things were happening, would you see me differently than you do knowing me now?

 

Are you the person everyone thinks you are?
