NO RELIGION - 15%

According to the American Religious Identification Survey, almost ALL religious denominations of been decreasing over the past 18 years. Just released today, the ARIS states that 15% of American now do not identify themselves with any religion. This is up from 8% back in 1990.

What brilliant news! I come from a country where people are not segregated, shunned or murdered for their religious or lack of religious beliefs. That’s right, I can walk down the street with a ‘Jesus Is a Cunt’ t-shirt and no one will try to burn me alive.

It appears America (made in China) is becoming internally liberated to another degree. Then again, only time will tell.

And save yourself time by not sending me harassing, embarrassing, and ignorant messages. Because, even if I was wrong (which is highly unlikely) I would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven. Why? Because, everyone I know will be there, including YOU.

Beheading Suspect - Not Criminally Responsible?

Beheading Suspect - Not criminally responsible?

Since this is big news where I currently am (unfortunately) residing. I thought I would make a quick, educated comment.“A two-day Winnipeg trial in a case of killing and beheading on a Greyhound bus ended Wednesday with both sides seeking the same verdict — not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder.” CBC.ca According to the report, psychiatrists for the Crown and the defence both agree that Vince Li was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the murder and most likely weeks before, making him unaware of his actions. Li believed he was being told by God to kill McLean who was a ‘force of evil’.

Let me explain, justice is “A state of affairs in which conduct or action is both fair and right, given the circumstances.” – Duhaime Legal Dictionary. Therefore, in this case under these extreme circumstances, the Crown and defence lawyers are asking for Li to be found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. These kinds of verdicts (Judge will make his decision tomorrow morning) are not handed out like candy. It is not in the best interest of anyone to do so. After proper evaluation, it was found the Li did indeed meet the proper criteria to be found not criminally responsible. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and at the time of the murder was enduring severe auditory hallucinations.

Of course, there are a bunch of imbeciles in an uproar shouting “justice hasn’t been served!” (Cite above paragraph if you believe it hasn’t). The crime was heinous and despicable in every sense of the word, yes, but what some people are after is revenge, not justice. Unfortunately for them, we don’t live in a totalitarian state. If found not guilty tomorrow by reason of mental disorder, Li will not enter back into society. Instead of being sent to a prison, he will be placed into a provincial psychiatric facility. The victim’s family has been rightfully lobbying for changes in the Criminal Code that would prevent a person from re-entering society who has been found not guilty by reason of mental disorder. If anyone understands mental illness to this severity, they will see the Criminal Code NEEDS a severe change.

Will Li ever re-enter society? The answer is most likely yes at some point down the line. Those who live in Manitoba have seen the holes in the legal system. This would be one of many changes that are needed to be made. He is still guilty (in a sense) but not criminally. For the first time in…many, many years a trail in Winnipeg may have actually come to a sensible end (but, we’ll see). Li needs to be not in a prison, but a mental institution for life. If this ends appropriately, perhaps the Winnipeg police force and the provincial government will start to smarten up and deal with the city’s problems full on (though, this did take place outside of Winnipeg) They [Winnipeg] have lots of them, is murder capital of Canada really something to be proud of? I didn’t think so, do your fucking jobs. That’s what our tax money goes to. Thankfully for my sanity, I’m leaving this hellhole.

I do not appreciate or support...

...this new age of digital trickery.

Just because you know how to use Photoshop doesn't make your pictures worth a word.

Just because you can trick simpletons on camera with strings doesn't make you a magician.

Just because a money-slut producer can make your screechy voice sound half decent doesn't make you a musician.

What is going on here? Get back to the basics..

These wretched tools will destroy all that is meaningful.

Gross Display of Ignorance & Hate

I accidently came across a website today. I took an extensive look through it..needless to say it was filled with ignorance and hate.
These are the lowlifes that I'm forever going to be fighting against.
Think FREELY.

Born Again

This is BORN AGAIN (atheist)

An Atheists Christmas

Why is it that whenever a popular, yet, completely irrational and without the shadow of a doubt dangerous religion comes under simple questioning the religious right loses their minds? Is it perhaps their fear of the unknown which created the system in the first place? Are the thinkers digging at old wounds? Or is it something more simple, like a bunch of drooling sheep packed into a corner of a dark room trying to find the nearest exit. I can tell you this, the exit cannot be found with a criss-cross of wood. One would have more luck if it were on fire.

This is far from unusual and hardly schocking unless you live in a place were different religions & belief systems are tolerated because in North America, non-mainstream religions are frowned upon. This is not arguable, this is fact. A disturbing one to say the least.

In many areas of Western Europe the Athiesm/Agnostic rate is around 50%. In America it is less than %10. Does this not suggest something? It is up to you to decide if you want to be free.

Take a moment out of your day to watch this...

It is pretty sad to see that in the 21st Century people still seem to still think it is okay to take away the civil rights of other people in a modern democratic society. Your god tells you to promote hate? To push America back some more? So I guess you're thinking, "lets just fuck up some more peoples lives..just a little bit more" You right winged simpletons have gone far enough.

MySpace suicide & the definition of irony

http://www. cnn. com/2008/CRIME/11/20/internet. hoax. ap/index. html?iref=newssearch
Does this disturb anyone else, or is it just me. What ever happend to 'no one can make you do anything' which is true unless you're weak minded or have a loaded pistol pointed at your head. So some middle aged house whore played a trick on a 13 year old girl who ended up killing herself. This shit goes on EVERYDAY in real life and sometimes fools end up jamming a gun down their throat. No one can be blamed for a suicide but the person who pulled the goddamn trigger.

And according to FoxNews (we all know how trust worthy they are) a bible thumper was...thumped with her own bible! Now if that doesn't lighten up your day I don't know what will. She was beaten down in the Castro district in SanFrancisco by gay activists..what was she doing you might be thinking to yourselves? Well she was shoving her beliefs down other peoples throats. If one is going to go into a gay community and provoke the entire community...why is anyone shocked at the hilarious outcome? Hows this for news, "Dumb Bitch Gets What She Deserves" People shall marry who they please.

The Nuns of Romania


For hundreds of years, unfortunate ones have been murdered in the name of God. In 2005 a nun in eastern Romania was crucified by her priest after he believed she came under the possession of the Devil. After being deprived of food and water for 4 days, Sister Irina was gagged and chained to a cross where eventually her body could take no more and she faded away. She was indeed possessed, but not by the 'Devil' but by her own mind. Sister Irina had schizophrenia.
The complete lack of emotion and regret from the fellow nuns and priests shows exactly how destructive, powerful & control this type of blind faith is.

Salo - The Reflection of You







I saw a film last night..the adaptation of Marquis du Sade's 120 Days of Sodom molded into fascist Italy in 1944.The importance of the original novel being written in 1785 is great. It was and still is a true reflection of humanity. Politics, religion, sex and social dynamics. Is that why the film cannot be bought off of a shelf? Nor can it be played in theaters, and is that really why it is banned in some parts of the world? Do we not like to see ourselves as we really and truely are? That appears to be the case.




In THE AGE OF BLAME we sometimes forget what we are. Those of you who point are not original, you are not poets, you are not you. Teen angst now comes in a box from Wal-Mart at Christmas. Many true and real ideas have become laced with improper antics and ignorance that they in turn destroy themselves. It is a shame and they will be forgotten.




There is a lot more to this story but I can assure you I am not the one who sits and dreams, dreams are forgotten.
