Blind Faith Psychosis

Psychosis and Money

What is it then that makes them pray,
that makes them creep, crawl, all day,
that makes them read some silly script,
their pride, confidence, slyly stripped ?

What is it then that transfers their minds,
to heavens, angels, spiritual kinds,
to attend Cathedrals in little groups,
then dress in robes as elitist troops ?

What is it then that makes them build,
on fertile land where food was tilled,
huge Mosques; Cathedrals too,
just to sing, confess anew?

Does it help in anyway,
to wile away the hours of day,
dressed in best on their knees,
praying to anything, making pleas?

Is it selfishness that makes them think,
we all need them to cower, shrink,
on our behalf at their request,
so that our souls be sublimely blessed?

The whiff of selfishness stirs the air,
I think it’s just themselves they care,
the work is easy, less to think,
from competition they wilt, shrink.

This God they advocate with fuss,
when ask for proof they won’t discuss,
O proof, O proof; what for you need ?
the devils home you’ll go with speed.

My lucid mind begins to stir,
I’m in the hands of a blackmailer,
I only ask; for what your sales?
they came back as hard as nails.

So business then shall prevail,
In Woolworth’s by an honest sale,
the Church an inquisition I think,
proof of God surely brinks.

There once was a man from Vatican city.
For the children he had neither love nor pity.
He went to London with a silly hat, roundly called a silly prat,
and so I wrote this ditty.

There was a young lady from Crewe
Who said, as the Bishop withdrew
"The Vicar was quicker
and slicker and thicker
And nine inches longer than you"

Ghost Buster

There was a young Jew named JC
Who sadly was nailed to a tree
What he preached was just fine
But was he divine
Or a nut with a taste for smilies:D:):rolleyes::(:P:D

It all happens because there is money in it, all we ever had to do was behave ourselves. The vast majority of us were doing it anyway.
Its all jobs for the boys. This Pope has got away with his filth again.
He has no intention of handing his filth over.

For christ sake say something.

What use is heaven to modern man
what use is after life
dont lets meet, clash again,
we're nothing but trouble, strife?

Why should God care up there,
he showed no form down here,
to settle our own frustrations,
we run to guns, beer?

Hey goddy boy try again,
you made a mess with us,
I packed in praying long ago,
Was such a stupid fuss.

Just show your face, make a bunce,
lets see a happening true,
dont be shy, show your place,
give us all a clue.

There once was an pope from Marktl Am Inn
Who said little boys were occasions of sin
He condemned "a la carte"
Was a nazi at heart
Oh no, I've invoked Godwin

I'm surprised nobody has quoted this gem from the pen of Christopher Hitchens:

The Bishop of Central Japan
Used to rodger himself with a fan
And when taxed with these acts
He replied “It contracts,
And expands rather more than a man”

Why are atheists obsessed with the church?
They seem to think God left them in the lurch.
Belief or not,
they're a funny lot,
its like they're on some adventurous search

to find a truth thats under their noses.
Its been passed down since the time of Moses.
The bible is packed,
with historical fact,
which they choose to ignore to suit their rosy

notion that life is only material, wood, denim.
Catholics, unfairly, get the worst of their venom.
Why do they abuse
believers who choose,
and accuse them of greed, corruption, bedlam!

Nothing, indeed, could be further from the truth.
God was here, as Jesus, and in his youth
he spread the message of love for all.
He said "start a network, spread the word of God",
but as thanks his clothes were sold as loot

as he was murdered. But his message prevailed.
Love, human rights, forgiveness, and mercy entailed
the bulk of what he had to say.
Even non-believers cant turn away
from these modern morals this ancient man regaled.

An entire country cant be Christian, only the individuals in it can be. And if you call yourself Christian, and then you shoot somebody, well by definition you're not being a Christian!!!

This is what I cant understand about atheism. Fair enough that you dont buy the invisible-man-in-the-sky bit, but surely you hold yourself to the same morals and ethics that Christianity established? You know, dont kill, dont steal etc.? They are afterall, just plain common sense and decency, with a bit of kindness thrown in for good measure. You say Christianity doesnt always make nice caring people, well it may not succeed 100% of the time, but that is what the whole point of Christianity is, to make nice caring people!!!! So those of us who are trying to be nice and caring, stop bashing us! If YOU dont believe, you dont believe, but leave us alone!

Thats another thing that amazes me about atheism; you talk more about religion than most religious people do! Why are you not talking about science, or fair city last night, or the Irish bond auction today? This is the forum for you guys to talk about your views without religious input. But all it ever seems to be is religious / anti-religious talk? WTF like?

Ickle Magoo

Do you think all people do is post in A&A? It's a tiny fraction of peoples lives and usually a small percentage of their overall posting - and being the A&A forum it is generally about lacking a god and responses to theists regarding that, what the forum is for is really for the posters, mods and admins to determine. And why shouldn't folks discuss religion? If it has the pull to theists to keep reading and posting and keeping tabs on what "the atheists" are up to, why is it a different rule for the atheists?

Religion is something that can potentially impact on our daily lives often due to an outdated system a lot of people here are campaigning to change....and this is a discussion forum, discussion is what we do - you'll find on the football forum that Man U fans discuss chelsea and that FF often discuss policies in terms of their opposition - how & why should A&A be any different?

Thousands of Irish Catholics are in the British and U.S armed forces 'volunteering' to kill anywhere 'warmongering' governments send them to kill

You're not comparing like with like. Man U talking about Chelsea and vise versa have a commonality, soccer. You wont find anyone on the soccer forum discussing Middle-Eastern politics, for example. Its a ME politics free forum. This forum should be about A&A life, sans religion. There's a big difference between discussing A&A related stuff, and outright religion bashing.

Atheism only exists because of theism - without theism we would all be atheists. Again, I'm not sure why you think you should get to dictate what the forum is about? I think having had my child refused access to schools and been harangued by religious nuts at the door and bothered by a priest in the hospital not to mention been witness to years of scandals dripping out about people that hold themselves up as paragons of virtue and make no apologies for trying to dictate what policies and laws govern the country I live in, I earn the right to call religion whatever I like, tbh.

Edited to add: Mods, sorry for going off topic - if blind faith psychosis and limericks have an on-topic, feel free to delete, it's all rather trite anyway.

Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, in the bible does it say that Germany or Ireland are officially Christian. Those countries may make that claim, but under whose authority can they do that?

Nope. Atheism existed first. By default, we're all atheists. You then choose to be a theist. Are you also an abaseballer? Why dont you start a forum about that. Then, why not turn it into a purely baseball-bashing forum? See? I'm not trying to dictate anything, I'm just saying stop religion bashing. Bash the school that turned you away, bash the nut, bash the scandaliser, but stop bashing my entire religion. Its like racism (or whatever the equivalent religious discrimination verb is).You might aswell just change the title of the forum to the religion bashing forum. Be an A-Theist, but dont bash religious people or their religions. There's more to atheism than that - please:o
