88.5 FM Jesus Radio

It really pisses me off to listen to Jesus radio.

The radio equivalent of Saturday morning cartoons, radio meant for children - yeah I've listened to it.  It's great that they have programs designed to teach children wholesome values and morals.  It's an absolute travesty that every atheist character on the program is a complete and utter douche bag.

See, you can't go around letting children, who you want to believe in your God, associate with an atheist!  Oh the devastation!  So they actively find ways to make the non-religious people into self-serving, immoral, superficial, jerks.

It's funny.  When I was a child of 6 or 7 and in catechism I recognized the hypocrisy of the Church's situation.  We were always told that it was Satan who would deceive us, try to trick us, who WANTS OUR SOULS for his own.  Yet, to this day, the only one who has actively recruited me, the only ones who have deceived me has been the Church itself!

I decided on my own morals.  I decided what was right and what was wrong.  I was taught the Golden Rule in Montessori at age 5 (still have a clear memory of that day too).

So when the Church told me I can't make my own mind about morals.  I laughed at them, because the things I thought were right or wrong were laid out in the 10 commandments.  My ungodly immoral self made a set of morals that went above and beyond the work of God himself.  Seriously?  That's the best the creator of the entire UNIVERSE can do?

Back to the radio.  The people who produce the programs are actively deceiving children by not presenting an accurate depiction of atheists.  Sounds Satanic to me.

The people who produce the programs want children to believe in their God to "save their souls".  Sounds Satanic to me.

The people who produce the programs actively try to recruit my heathenish butt to their cause.  While no "Satanic" or "Evil" religion has ever actively tried to recruit me...

So in the program, they are deliberately deceiving children by giving a highly biased and narrow perspective of atheists.  This to me, is equivalent to brainwashing.  What person would create a children's show with the intent of deliberately depicting a certain group of people as evil, and thus deceiving their listeners, while touting moral superiority?   Sounds Satanic to me.

We know Satan is a "Great Deceiver" so how can we know for sure that "God" hasn't been bested by "Satan" and that "Satan" is driving force behind these religions?  Would a puny human really be able to detect "Satan's" deceptions?  No.

#$&^ Google.

Dear Google,

@#$^ you.

My long time youtube account is linked with one email address, it has all my subscriptions, all my favorites, all my 6 years of youtube browsing.  My Google+ is under another email, my blogger under yet another.  @#$& you for linking all of these sites.  You are either logged into ALL of them at once or not at all.

I cannot access http://www.google.com/firefox/ while logged in.  And I utterly HATE the default http://www.google.com search.  I find it annoying.

While it's nice that new users may be able to access all this content under one email, it's utterly frustrating for someone who does not want to always be logged in to absolutely everything.  I can't unlink the accounts, I can't sign out of just one.

Goggle, you are a PLAGUE on the internet.  You're spreading all over the @#$^ing place and forcing me to log in, all at once, or not at all.

BAD GOOGLE.

Racism? Maybe not.

At work, I think some of the black guys we used to work with thought I was racist. I know I can be dodgy and I know that it may seem disrespectful to not want to put on a big smile, wave and exchange pleasantries EVERY SINGLE day - especially considering that the work week seems more like one long day than a series of different days (so 99% of the time my status on Tuesday is exactly the same as it is on Monday, nothing new can happen, nothing exciting or worth mentioning has happened. This is what you get when you work 10 hour shifts.  I don't have anything new to report, so what's the point in asking?  What's the point in saying "hi" EVERY DAY?  It's nice, sure, but to me, the "Hi" I said on Monday applies for the whole week.) Forgive me for not wanting to talk about my exciting morning making my lunch.  Should I talk about the amazing dream I had last night?  No.

I can't really blame them for thinking I was racist. I'm a hard worker with a good work ethic, some of them are lazy and don't really care, or they just want to take their damn time, no matter the effect on other people. That's fine. But don't interpret my distaste for their laziness as racism. It's not. It's an individual judgment based on their individual ethos.

Now as a child, I was also subject to a lot of peer abuse. And I've listened to the radio and heard black people talk about racism in school (40 years ago). I listen to some of the things they say and I can't help but get pissed off, because I say to myself, "This guy was subject to many of the same thing I was". Maybe the kids were racist. Maybe they weren't. See we white people tend to treat each other like absolute GARBAGE. Black people, probably didn't grow up in a community like this, and so when they are subject to this abuse, they automatically think it's racism.

What it is, is a bunch of white kids who are simply finding the most obvious difference between themselves and the person they want to ostracize. Race is just the most obvious thing. If it wasn't race they probably would have been picked on in other ways - their hair style, the clothes they wore, the way they talked, etc, etc, etc.

The culture we live in is built to destroy people who deviate. Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Red, it doesn't matter. If you do something that is "unacceptable" to a certain group of people, no matter what your race, they will find a way to destroy you for it. Just because the issue is the color of your skin does not mean that this is the only reason they hate you. Hell, I bet they may not even know why they do. They are, simply put, psychopaths.
