So I ranted on facebook, and will get no audience.

[A HERETIC I AM]

I thought I might try copying it here, and get maybe another couple dozen eyes.\

With regard to this photo;


At first I wrote "He already can! What a nitwit"

Then I went on a small rant

To wit;

Why is it that I never see a Christian photo like this with a Muslim child holding a Koran in a classroom that says "Share if you think this Muslim kid should stay the hell home?" Because you KNOW that's what they are thinking. I find it astounding the recent rise in the use of the word "indoctrination" with reference to the teaching of science, for fucks sake, but no admission at ALL that telling your kid at age 3 or 4 that he is damned to eternal torment if he doesn't profess love for a 2000 year old mythical holy carpenter from the Levant isn't the same damned thing. This country is doomed economically if we can not get past this bullshit. 1/4 of Americans believe the Sun revolves around the Earth? I mean what the ever loving fuck has happened? There was a time, as has been duly noted by better men and women than me, that we VALUED knowledge and science and advancement in this country. When, how and why did we turn into a country of motherfucking inbred imbeciles?

I hereby pose the question.

1. "When, how and why did we turn into a country of motherfucking inbred imbeciles?"

If this is the question...

How? by sheer lack of interest in being better than we are and letting other people and "things" think and decide for us. When entertainment became the message, I think that is where we turned the corner.

2. "Share if you think, this child should be allowed to bring his Koran to school."

Religous freedom! Down with the oppressors!

Well said my dear. Always good to see you.

4. I will say it again.

All the "fuck" and "motherfuck" does nothing but piss off many of the people you are trying to get through to. If you are trying to get through to anyone. I can't say that I don't go off the deep end with rants as well, but I do attempt to tone it down when my audience is the Xians who post this kind of photo.

But besides that, you are right in everything that you said.

(As of this time, you have 153 views, so you did get the eyes on this.)

5. Well, the audience that would have seen it on FB was not a Christian one....

Rather an Atheist "group" I joined.

But just like DU, if the thread gets few response, it sinks.

While I appreciate your intent, and I understand the point you are making regarding language, I don't worry about such things, primarily because when I type something like that it is usually just a pressure relief valve popping off.

So I don't give a damn if someone is slightly scalded by the steam.

6. Well, that makes it a different story.

When I comment on FB, it is to friends, who can have all sorts of people reading it.
