Cobwebs!

I hate bull-shit and lies! On a large and a small scale! Why do we

 

have to lie to kids about santa claus, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny and

 

worst of all....god! Any god! All gods! I know that there should be

 

capitals there but I just can’t do it! Does he really deserve it? Man has

 

taken the words and ideals of their own individual philosophers, who

 

knew that our own inherent animal instincts would destroy us, and they

 

have turned it to their advantages in their hunger for more and more

 

power! These men were not prophets in that any god spoke to them, but

 

they were intelligent men who could see that there was a need for basic

 

ideals to keep us from eating ourselves alive. The result of their teachings

 

were then bastardised and used as tools by others with their own devious

 

intentions. Jesus, Mohammed and Moses were very similar in that they

 

just felt and knew that what they saw around them was wrong. I think that

 

these strong feelings were wrongly interpreted by them because at that

 

time they still believed in a higher power. Each of these philosophers

 

tried to teach peace and love to the ignorant masses but after their deaths

 

the madmen ran amok and added their own points of view and assigned

 

their own meanings to what these men said, early political spin!

 

                So, by the same regard, in a hundred years will we have a John

 

Lennon sect who add their own words to Imagine where there is a heaven

 

and there is a hell and it all kicks off again? These men tried to teach

 

peace, kindness, charity to others and sexual equality but the monsters ran

 

amok. Now we are left with misinterpretations and even more wars and

 

death caused as a result. It makes me fuckin sick man! There is so much

 

bull-shit still around all of us every day and the idiot masses still scurry

 

around in competition using the guise of their own strong faiths to gain

 

individual power, wealth, and hatred to others when that was the opposite

 

of their ‘prophets’ teachings! We should know inside ourselves what is

 

right and wrong without any fuckin religion tellin us what to do! These

 

men tried their best and would be as sick as I am with what people do in

 

their names. We are more evolved now so should not need any of that

 

shite to dictate to us how to live. Religion was necessary as there weren’t

 

laws to govern at the time but now we are left with phoney governments

 

dictating laws and these fuckin zealots, so we are twice as worse off than

 

then! And it will never end, we’re fucked, it’s been so ingrained and

 

misinterpreted over these last few thousand years that they are here to

 

stay, with more and more idiots settin up stall with their fuckin versions

 

and the herds still follow. We have heroes to some young people like wee

 

Tam Cruise and Madge who are into scientology, whatever the fuck that

 

is! But they’ll hand over millions of pounds to be ‘more enlightened’.

 

Fuck off! They have their own “celebriddy cenn’er” though so that the

 

mooing shufflin mass don’t worship where they do, and I’m sure it’s a

 

great place for other hollywood fuck-wits to network and make

 

connections so that after prayers.......deals can be made! Bring back the

 

Romans!! At least they were more honest! They came, they saw and they

 

conquered! Although they did set up their own puppet governments and

 

wondered why the natives they had conquered hated them, does this

 

sound like any countries these days?

 

                People should talk to their kids on a more truthful level than we do

 

at the moment. Why can’t we just tell them the truth, maybe we would

 

have a better more rounded individual for the future. It gets you to

 

thinking, even at such a young age, ‘Well, if they have lied about that,

 

what else have they lied about? This world is not what it seems if the

 

adults lie but tell us that we should never lie! What’s goin on here?’ The

 

thing is we scurry around trying to cover up these lies, deceiving kids, for

 

what? We think that we are protectin them from the big, bad world

 

outside, but they always find out the truth and it’s never from their

 

parents. An older sibling or some other kid at school will always be only

 

too glad to delight in shattering these illusions, because they themselves

 

have had the same thing done. I would love to see the results of a

 

sociological experiment where we could contrast and compare the

 

development of two children : one who has been talked to from an early

 

age, instead of goo-gooing them, and not filling their head with the

 

bullshit of santa, the tooth-fairy, that fuckin bunny and ANY form of

 

religion. The other just brought up as ‘normal’. I think that would be

 

fascinating. Do we ever recover from these first seeds of doubt?

               

                My dad was killed in an fire when I was four months old. My

 

mum, as many would do, didn’t tell my brother about this. He was, I

 

think, five years old when told by a cousin that my dad wasn’t actually

 

working away as he had thought, but was dead! Can anyone imagine

 

that? To get such traumatic news in that way! Fuck man! There is no easy

 

way to handle stuff like that and it is the ‘normal’ way to deny to the

 

children the truth but it always comes out, and it’s usually always in

 

much the same way as that. I don’t remember how I was told, to be

 

honest, but as I never knew the man, I didn’t lose so much as I never

 

knew it was there...but I still miss and know him somehow! I know I

 

would have been different, and probably for the better! He would have

 

slapped sense into me early on and I wouldn’t probably be as

 

unemployable as I am now. My mum was always working as she didn’t

 

receive any money from the road firm he worked for as the old army

 

barracks they stayed in were not laid on by the firm, but ‘they could stay

 

there if they wanted’ ,Yep, one of those ones! He was the foreman of his

 

road crew tae! Dirty bastards! A young mum left with two kids to bring

 

up on her own and they wouldn’t give her a fuckin penny!

 

                I ended up not going to the catholic school as I would have if my

 

dad was alive, thank fuck! I went to the local primary school where we

 

weren’t taught religion but you still had to attend church services, usually

 

before a holiday so you knew it could be endured. I don’t know why but

 

my mum tried to get my brother and me to go to Sunday school, which

 

we did for a while but I remember asking the teacher there : ‘If there is a

 

god, then why is my dad dead?’, as she couldn’t come up with any

 

satisfactory answer except ‘Well, the lord works in mysterious ways!’,

 

even then I smelt bullshit! What kind of example is that to set? I know it

 

was a fucker of a question, especially from someone my age, but I think

 

she knew there is no answer to that in her fuckin book!

 

                I’m glad that I didn’t go to the catholic school cos who knows,

 

maybe I would have been brainwashed with that shite. Especially when

 

you are so impressionable and if all these adults believe it, then it must be

 

true! I cannot understand today why any form of religion is taken

 

seriously by people. Can’t they see the glarin holes in their respective

 

faiths? I mean, even to kids the bible reads like the ravins of a madman!

 

Do these people honestly still believe that there is a god? That there is

 

some omnipotent being who can see you if you are sinful enough to have

 

a wank? The cure? Circumcision! Yes, folks! God was wrong when he

 

added that nasty foreskin onto your penis and that nasty clitoris to the

 

ladies, so the church has decided to complete his work. He was probably

 

meant to do it on the Sunday but just forgot, he would be tired after all!

 

The sheer arrogance of these religions amazes me! Instead of adding an

 

eleventh commandment ‘Though shalt not wank!’, they thought that they

 

would maim their subjects forever with the excuses that it is cleaner or

 

some other shit. The whole reason behind circumcision was to try to

 

prevent their followers from masturbating, a natural human instinct! To

 

me, most religions seem to oppose human nature instead of nurturing it.

 

To suppress these instincts is so harmful to us, as proved by the amount

 

of priests who have been caught abusing altar boys. They undertook,

 

probably with pious intentions, to follow the word of god but if they, after

 

working for so many years, obviously don’t believe in god then what

 

chance has the average man?

 

                It is so ingrained though, it is hard to de-learn all the shit you were

 

taught growing up. When the pope was ill I was willing him to die, but he

 

was wheeled out, drooling to the multitude and forced to wave and give

 

his masses. I just thought, are you all so unsure of the faith of your

 

followers that you have to force this poor man into public duty? Let him

 

die with dignity, or at least leave the man in bed where he should have

 

been. As they now no longer pretend that god picks a pope, why can’t

 

they have a retirement age? I mean, they now have a parliamentary

 

officer and there is a list of vatican approved films!! Even when ‘The

 

Life of Brian’, a classic and a favourite comedy of mine, was released in

 

the seventies there was a big uproar about it, then we get the mass

 

hysteria and everyone gets all righteous because they won’t be as

 

religious as their next door neighbour if they don’t. Fuck off!

 

                When he did die they held the state funeral where they let the

 

deluded followers file past for a glimpse of the body, just a glimpse mind

 

before the security men ushered them past. I thought it interesting that he

 

was what was called a ‘compromise choice’ when elected to the papacy.

 

He was the middle ground choice of conservative and liberal faction

 

within the cardinals of the vatican. So, let me get this straight - there are

 

differences of opinions within this so-called house of god and arguments

 

about the way forward for their business, oops…religion. I mentioned this

 

to a neebor as we were having a smoke and he started to get all defensive

 

about it, he had been to an r.c. school, of course. I was baptised catholic

 

but I am intelligent enough to know that all religion is bullshit, not just

 

catholicism. I asked him how Rome ever became the centre of his

 

religion, how if jesus was from Nazareth did the name Roman come into

 

it, especially since Pilate was asked to sanction it by the Jews. ‘What is

 

truth?’ he rightly said to the jewish priests, who were tryin to shift the

 

blame onto the romans for killin jesus.

 

                Jesus actually did talk a bit of sense it’s just that everythin he said

 

has been bastardised and abused by people for their own selfish gains. On

 

the cross I think his last words were ‘My god why hast though forsaken

 

me!’ What do you think he meant? One story about a recent contact I had

 

to have with an r.c. church, my uncle died last year and I loved the man,

 

he had a catholic funeral, so the priest guy comes and went into to the

 

livin room at my uncles’ house where the body was kept, I didn’t go in to

 

see the body as that is way, way too morbid and ridiculous for me as that

 

will be your last memory of them and I loved him too much for that! So

 

this prick does his bit, then comes out and I’m smokin a fag at the front

 

door when I heard this laughter comin fae the hall, so I’m ragin and go to

 

see who the fuck would be laughin at a time like that. Of course, the bold

 

one is standin there with his cup of tea and biscuit havin a rare old time in

 

the hall! I swear I don’t know what stopped me, only the thought that I

 

didn’t want to cause a scene but I could have killed this fuck! I wish I’d

 

said somethin now, but they fuckin revel in peoples’ misery, it’s a social

 

occasion for them......a job!!

 

It is politics people, fuckin wake up! They are the first mafia, takin

 

money from their own, causing countless battles and wars and more

 

deaths throughout history than any other single organization. They are not

 

the redeemers of mankind but the destroyers. If there was a god, would he

 

really count as his most blessed people the hermit in the cave, eating

 

grains of rice and reading scripture? That is not life, but death! If these

 

fucks had their way we would still believe the world to be flat! The

 

followin is an actual quote from one of their saints, old st.augustine - “It

 

is impossible that there should be inhabitants on the other side of the

 

earth, for on the day of judgement, these men could not see the lord

 

descending through the air!” I think he died just last year as well!

 

                They are against knowledge and definitely against the

 

advancement of mankind, this is all documented stuff! The ancient

 

egyptians built the great pyramid at giza in around 2,560B.C.(see even

 

our time has been annexed by these religious fucks!) it is the oldest brick

 

buildin in the world. It covers thirteen acres and the base is so accurately

 

flat, it is to within one inch. They used rectangular grids then filled them

 

in with water and shaved off any protrusions. It took about two and a half

 

million stone blocks laid into it and 22 years to construct. A construction

 

engineer who was in it recently said that the ‘kings chamber’ was “the

 

most fascinating space he has ever been in!” How did we come

 

from the advancements of the Egyptians’ knowledge 4,500 years ago to

 

the Middle Ages when we were still in huts and scrounging around in the

 

mud in ignorance? Answer : christianity! They knew that the

 

advancement of man would show that these were false prophets. The first

 

sin was Eve eating the apple from the ‘tree of knowledge’. So we have

 

men trying to keep women down by sayin they suppress mans’ desire for

 

knowledge. Man did not progress under christianity, but regressed! (ps. If

 

we use the size of a human brain as a comparison to an animals’ supposed

 

intelligence, and we only use between 10-20% of ours, how can we

 

compare if the animal uses the full 100% of theirs?)

               

                Why are religious people like salesmen now? I had a couple at the

 

door about a month ago and looked through the spy-hole as I was just

 

goin in the shower and asked what did they want? The guy answered

 

‘Hello’ - I said who are you - he said ‘Hello’ - I hate this pish so I said

 

more angry- ‘Look who are you I’m tryin to go in the shower!’- ‘Hello

 

there, I’m from’ such and such church he says - ‘Nah, neebor I’m an

 

atheist! I’ve no interest in your gods!’ - But you could tell they are just

 

dyin to get a foot in the door, fuck off if you’re happy in your wee world

 

fine but don’t annoy people with it! Had a Hare Krishna at me in

 

Dunfermline High St. yesterday with the bald head and the stupid wee

 

pony-tail thing at the back. He’s just hasslin people as they try to go

 

about their day, so I’m in a bit of a rush to get to the Post Office before it

 

shuts and he starts pesterin me, so I’m like -‘Right, you got me, tell me

 

what are you a jehovahs or what?’ - ‘No, sir I’m a hare krishnan!’ and

 

he’s tryin to push some picture with ganu on it or whatever - so I say

 

‘Look neebor I’m an intelligent evolved human bein and I don’t believe

 

in your god or any god!’ and try to keep walkin up to the post office but

 

he thinks he’s in, I’m probably the only person to talk to the idiot all day

 

or somethin and he’s followin me up the hill yabberin away and tryin to

 

get me on side sort of thing and I lost it a bit -‘Look you get tae fuck am

 

no jokin, I don’t need your fuckin religion so fuck off right!’ He took the

 

hint but they’re just too pushy, if any of it was that good they wouldn’t

 

need to sell it, it would sell itself. Shit, also had a tourettes moment I just

 

remembered there! Goin through the high st. again, there are these young

 

yanks about wearin satchel things pesterin people about jesus or whoever

 

and he was talkin to someone and as I went rushin past I sort of shouted

 

“Dinny listen to any of it, it’s aw a lot ay shite!” and kept goin past. I

 

can’t help it at times it makes me mad. I thought later this poor guy would

 

have been terrified and thought I was the devil, that’s my next one though

 

to put on a deep voice and just say in their ear ‘I am Lucifer, I shall come

 

for you this evening my child, I am proud of you!’- wink, then keep goin.

 

It may be cruel but what can I say, I’m an active Atheist!

 

                I am against all forms of religion and it’s now funny to see them

 

scurrying to keep up with the times. Some recent examples of this has

 

been old desmond tutu, on t.v. recently on C5, the programme was

 

called ‘Big Ideas that changed the World!’ – very ironic, I thought. Here

 

he was given forty five minutes to discuss religion on a programme with

 

‘idea’ in the title and not ‘facts’, or some other term. Yep, just an idea!

 

Who thinks up ideas? Man, of course. Old desmond was reading from an

 

autocue and you could even tell where it must have said ‘smile’. Pathetic,

 

this little puppet who can barely form a coherent sentence was to tell us

 

all about the goodness of the church. He converted to christianity because

 

a white missionary tipped his cap to his mother. So desmond, it was due

 

to the politeness of one man, and that is the basis for your whole faith?

 

Ok, you got me, I’m converted! Africa was perfect for these missionaries

 

man! They knew that the white slave masters treated these poor people

 

horribly and they swooped in to recruit the masses. They call it

 

‘civilizing’ but I find it disgusting, here we have old desmond who could

 

have grown up to be a proud black man, but now he is basically another

 

drone. Instead of pride in his heritage and culture, he preys on the

 

misfortunes of the poor and the weak. Are they any better off there for it

 

today? Dessie boy came to London, with his family, so escaping poverty

 

and the troubles there, to be converted into a white missionary basically.

 

He doesn’t even speak well or put his points of view across articulately.

 

We all know within ourselves what is right and wrong by instinct alone

 

but these people swoop in at times of misery to say obvious things, then

 

get sainthood thrust upon them! The programme used modern techniques

 

like music and slowed down visual images of the present to attempt to

 

portray history. He had forty five minutes to discuss religion but spoke

 

for about ten minutes about christianity then charted the history of black

 

oppression and somehow tried to tie the church in with the civil rights

 

movement in America. Very disillusioned! The speeches of martin luther

 

king did not help progress the black civil rights movement in America.

 

His death caused the violence that pushed the movement forward, it was

 

fuck all to do with his church or god! Old deluded des also wiped the

 

slate clean for the church for about two thousand years of oppression, I

 

swear to fuck! It was amazing. He admitted that some people within the

 

church had taken the message wrong and caused pain and suffering to

 

others unnecessarily. Oh well, since you admit it des, we’ll forget it, aye,

 

nae probs mate!

 

                It’s all what I call ‘The 21st Century Church’ and it’s really funny

 

to see the lengths that they’ll go to show how ‘with it’ they are now. But

 

now, because our knowledge has increased, the church will modify their

 

views to keep up with the times and hope we forget all the pish said in the

 

past. -‘What, oh they were wrong back then to think that! We now have it

 

right, yes, it’s only taken us two millennia but everything we now do and

 

say, you can take for fact god told us it was to be this way. Yes, we have

 

a much more direct link to the big man now....email! Well, the lord works

 

in mysterious ways! No, we can’t give out his address to you directly but

 

rest assured that it is only our version of religion that has broadband so

 

come along on sunday, well it’s off-peak at the weekends, and through

 

me, the unlikely looking instrument of god, we’ll enter the chat-room of

 

the lord.’

 

                This bishop, tom wright also had a programme a wee while back

 

on C4 with rave music and computer graphics to try to snare the young.

 

One of the best examples yet that I have seen was a christian hip-hop

 

band, yes people….a christian hip-hop band! All white, of course. They

 

are called ‘The Worldwide Message Tribe’, and they travel around on the

 

‘Eden Bus’ trying to prove how hip and happenin jesus really is! One of

 

the guys in the band was being interviewed and said with a straight face

 

that he has no desire “for wealth or to get my face on t.v.!”. See that big

 

camera pointin at you neebor and the lights and the mikes, those aren’t

 

angels! So on the ‘Eden Bus’ we have all modern fittings and games,

 

dvd’s etc. for the kids in the poor schemes of Manchester to come on and

 

play while the cool, hip jesus freaks attempt their passive aggressive

 

brainwashing. One of the guys “gave up fame and fortune to go with The

 

Tribe!”, he was in the band Bizarre Inc. (Who??) The band travel to

 

schools and they have a big screen that flashes images of jesus

 

interspersed with flashing strobe lights and shapes. They sell their cd’s to

 

fund their ‘charity work’ so that they can keep their bus on the road. A

 

modern version of Cliff and the Summer Holiday gang but with more

 

sinister connotations. Also interesting to note the founders’ ideas on

 

wealth, he had given up a successful partnership with his brother in a

 

clothes firm, I think. He was talking about how spiritually fulfilled he was

 

now but that he couldn’t help but be envious of his friends’ flash new cars

 

etc. I detect a sin there I think! His brother had the better idea of helping

 

out and doing charity work whilst keeping the business going, he said this

 

as he roared off in his gleaming new porsche! They could have learned a

 

lot from the Beales, a white South African couple whose daughter was

 

killed by black rebels. They didn’t get angry or “seek an eye, for an eye!”

 

No, in the spirit of christianity they forgave their daughters’ killers and

 

put on a fashion show for the locals! I shit you not!

 

                It’s the contradictions that I find the most funny when it comes to

 

religion. For example : the jews, the christians and the muslims all

 

consider temple mount in Jerusalem as one of their respective religions’

 

most holy places. This was where, supposedly, abraham was meant to

 

sacrifice his son (there is no archaeological evidence for the existence of

 

this man although he is a start point for all three of the religions), also

 

where mohammed ascended to heaven and where the ark of the covenant,

 

that contained the ten commandments given to moses, was kept. Doesn’t

 

anyone else see the bullshit here? To me it’s plainly obvious! The ark is

 

now reputed to be held in Ethiopia, there is a temple there that is guarded

 

of course, where one poor deluded monk is meant to live inside there with

 

it and he preys twenty four hours a day. Fuck off! If it was really there

 

then the christians would have shown it long ago as it is the perfect

 

recruiting device for them. He’ll be shacked up inside there with porn,

 

three woman and a video camera! There was no satellite dish that I could

 

see outside it, but you never know eh?

               

                This merging of religions is the thing that really bothers me, moses,

 

a jew by the way, supposedly wandered the earth with two million people

 

for forty years, (even though the area was ruled by the egyptians who

 

kept meticulous records, there is no record of this exodus) he then went

 

up to the top of Mt.Sinai where he stayed for I think, forty days and

 

nights (did they not know any other number back then, or was that as far

 

as they could count?) and when he came down he had the ten

 

commandments inscribed into stone by god. Ok, does anyone else picture

 

old mo sat up there on the thirty ninth night furiously chipping away

 

on the tablets to appease the israelites, who were apparently gettin a bit

 

pissed off waitin! If there was a god, why didn’t he save him all the

 

trouble and have the tablets ready? So now at Mt.Sinai there is a jewish

 

holy place called the st.catherine monastery which was built around 1500,

 

she was reputed to have lived in the late 3rd century and was renowned,

 

accordin to an american monk, for “her honesty, beauty, wisdom and

 

wealth” - yes, very pious then! It was made into a fortress to “protect it!”

 

There was no entry except by bein hauled up on a pulley over the walls,

 

this is where old mo’ saw the burnin bush and they still cultivate

 

raspberry bushes there to this day! Old mo’ tried to free the hebrew

 

slaves from the egyptian pharaoh thought to be rameses. It was at this

 

time that the ‘plagues’ fell, river nile to blood and all that jazz! There are

 

now 4,000 steps built up the mountain called ‘the steps of repentance’,

 

probably cos you will wish you hadn’t started up the fuckers! According

 

to the deluded yank “people have been coming to it for seventeen

 

centuries”, is that all? What about the rest of the time? Fuck off! So the

 

jewish nation was born!

               

This was the start of what they call monotheism, or one god to rule

 

all. It’s funny how we look back on roman and greek gods and think

 

‘what misguided fools!’, when we haven’t exactly came very much

 

further forward! So these ten commandments with which the christians

 

look to with such fervour, were actually jewish in origin! Ask your

 

local zealot about that and watch him sweat. They hate when you

 

question them as they know there is such holes and contradictions that

 

any self-respecting person would just say ‘Fuck off! You’re lying!’ It’s

 

thought that the bible was written over the space of one thousand years
