One of the ways we justify our personal beliefs is to degrade what others think by making fun if them. If you want to prove you are correct in what you believe then try doing it without degrading, making fun of, or just being mean and rude to the ideas and beliefs of others. I have talked to many who do not believe in God over the years and in the end they have never proven to me there is no God they just degrade into a rant about how stupid you are because you believe and have a open mind witch they do not have. I have said it many times I can prove to anyone that God is real you just have to have a open mind about what I am going to teach you. One of the things they tell me is that they do have a open mind but they do not want to take my challenge. Why are you afraid to find out you might be wrong? According to Scientific Theory we are not at the center of the Universe and at the center of the Universe at the same time, also we live in a Hyperdimensional world and universe. If we do then could God just live in a different dimension and the only what for us to get there is by Death? We are so feeble minded that we forget how little we really know about the Universe and what is really out there? P.S. 104,650 is about the number of children sexualy abused by clergy in the Catholic Church over 50 years in the United States of America. 29,000 children sexualy abused at school by teachers and school employees per year according to a study done as a part of the no child left behind act. And I see none of you all up in arms about kids going to school. I find this picture to be in poor taste.

I am the original creator of the idea and image, although I did source the condom photo from an unrelated source (for those wondering, it is "only" spittle in the condom =D). I had originally branded it with my blog's URL but some rapscallion decided to remove it. I have seen this de-branded image floating around a few areas of the internet now and I do find it annoying, more so because I genuinely like people having a way to trace the origins of content found on the internet (a plight as so highlighted in the bottom of this very post).

The good in weakening irrational beliefs is that people might stop obeying their religious leaders. Then fewer doctors will be murdered, women will be able to get contraceptives, fewer women will die of pregnancy-related causes, fewer children and older people will starve to death because there are too many mouths to feed, fewer people will die of AIDS (because they won't believe the Pope when he tells them that condoms spread disease), fewer women and children will be declared witches by preachers and tortured to death, fewer women will be executed for adultery, fewer children and women will be abused because men are the boss God says so, fewer Iraqi teenagers will be hanged for being gay, and so on. In other words, there will be less evil in the world. That makes it worthwhile pointing out that God is a myth, Jesus is an imaginary friend, and praying is every bit as comforting and effective as telling your troubles to your teddy bear.
