The old fashioned Atheist religion

I have been at a loss for ideas, Everything going on politically is too depressing to write about, I am not really in the right mind to look at another tale in the big book of fairytales so I figured this blog is just going to be a hodge podge and a mash of different things I have noticed. I am going to respond to some of the stupidity that I have read here and in other places. Let's start with that old fashioned Atheist religion.

Once again some smart alec asked me which sect of the Atheist religion I belong to. Yes I am talking about you doofus. Get over it. Bald is a hair colour, not collecting stamps is a hobby, not playing rugby is a sport and Atheism a religion. We have a book with 10 commandments and all you know. We meet every Sunday and sing hymns, pray ad listen to a long boring sermon about talking snakes and donkeys. Wait a minute I may be confused, Atheism has no Gods, no sects, no groups of people beheading others that believe differently because the one true God has deemed it proper.

I am an avid non stamp collector, I spend no time at all playing rugby and the last time I heard a full sermon we were planting a friend. My hair colour though is not bald. Just for those of you that have not seen my previous articles on what Atheism is and is not. Copy and paste this in your browser and read it if you think Science is Atheism. news24.com/MyNews24/Atheism-is-not-Science-20140602

Next a young man wrote an open letter to the opposition complaining about their behaviour in Parliament. When I was a young man some time ago I too was idealistic and believed in the gentleman's hand shake, proper behaviour and that people were basically nice. Sadly only some people honor their commitments, don't try and change the rules and obfuscate reality. I grew up in a time when blacks were seen but not heard and then only if they had a dompas. Gentlemanly behaviour did not change the world then and it won't now.

There was a referendum and the behaviour that was seen broke apart families, friends and caused more than one bloody nose in a pub. I was on the winning side, but we won't talk about regrets right now. The Nats were confounded bullies that played by their own rules. If the world had not moved the goal posts, and the people had behaved like Gentleman that very same young man would probably now be pushing a wheel barrow in somebodies garden. But sure let us sit down and behave like Gentlemen while the ANC does not, Let the ANC use that hard fought for constitution as a method of removing excrement from their well rounded buttock cracks. I think not.

Then there is a young man aiming for a cushy post in the ANC that told us that tweeting would not remove the President. I know he is right because the President has no shame. He has no integrity and no moral standing. He will never be shamed into making the right decision. You need a conscience for that.

This morning in the shower I was contemplating polygamy and it came to me that the reason the whites are so jealous and condescending of blokes with more than one wife is because they approach the understanding of polygamy from the wrong perspective. Culturally White husbands provide for their wives and that is rather expensive with just one wife, two would be disastrous to the wallet. Zulus do it differently, The man who owns the women, remember he bought them with cattle or in modern times with a bucket full of cash. That man sits in the kraal drinking beer while his slave works in the fields and feeds him. The more wives you buy, the more they plant, the more beer you get. Polygamy is the answer to all your woes, Get a few wives, get them all out there working and you can sit home and drink beer while they bring in the bacon. This friends is the answer. Ten wives all earning giving you half makes you very comfortable, the 4x4 is not out of reach and there's bound to be one that does not have a headache. All you need is an extra mudhut for her to sleep in.

The subject of the day seems to be offence and ridicule, My thruppence, Stupid ideas deserve offence and ridicule. If you take your ideas that seriously that when someone disagrees with them you want to curl up in a little ball and cry, you need help, besides if God is so powerful, why does she need you to defend her?

I am thinking about writing an article telling Christians how to beat the Atheists in debate, but realised that the only way to win is to be that pigeon strutting about the chess board.
