Responding to a Racist Letter on Facebook - Trump Fan

Looking down the Twitter lines that I subscribe to I rarely find anyone who an adamant Trumpster.  Now on Facebook they are all over the place.  You cannot swing a dead rational human without hitting on in the oversize frothing ego.  Let us take for example a letter I discovered on Facebook.  This was all one paragraph and had little to no punctuation.  That had to be added in to give this some direction and operational function.

Link to the letter ->  Open Racist Letter

One thing that that comes screaming to forefront when reading the diatribe is that there is a tremendous amount of disinformation and flat out conspiracy theory materials interlaced with strongly emotional ‘personal testimony’.  Some of this testimony tends to ‘come from a friend’ which lends to this being second hand or non-dependable testimony.   One item that must be made very clear is that this person barely has a high school level education and lives in Biss Idaho.

First component is to advertise the ACA (Obmacare) has treated this family unfairly.  It his is equitable across the board.  Not one person who is dealing with insurance can escape outrageous increases in deductibles.  Something needs to be clearly outlined is the ACA is NOT a liberal plan.  It was a plan originally rolled out the Heritage Foundation idea.  So this cannot be tossed back at Obama and the Democrats.  Please look in the mirror.  This was created by the GOP, Republicans and their minons.

Next this author addresses multiple times ‘Illegal Aliens’ as being there to take from her what is rightfully hers.  I am uncertain how this can even be possible if the person is illegal how can they get covered medical care?  I believe that she means undocumented migrants/refugees.  Illegal or undocumented mean they cannot gain access to the benefits of a system to which they cannot connect. It takes some pretty profound leaps of conspiracy theory events to grant them access.    All of the persons that she is referring to are migrant workers who have Mexican heritage and this is the only frame of reference.    The first response to this statement is; prove it.  Please produce some evidence to support your claim otherwise you are basically talking out your ass.

She starts to spiral out of control in her conspiracy modes as this letter progresses with every Right-Wing radio talking point and conspiracy theory about Black Lives Matter and that the victims are deserving of being “killed at the hands of an honest cop” then tossing Obama as being the person responsible with zero evidence that he can in any way be culpable.

It becomes very evident that she is a heavy drinker of the Kool-Aid and is Too Far Gone down the rabbit hole to realize that most of what she is describing is full on conspiracy theorist supporter and may be one of those people who believes that chemtrails are being used to limit population growth.

As soon as she starts talking about the second amendment and the defense of Trump at the expense of any and all the other rights that we currently have she has gone full Ammosexual and when adding in the Benghazi event and Infowars.com supporter she is completely lost to humanity and is a full-fledged racist xenophobe.   She openly admits that Obama is Muslim and a member of the Black Panthers.  She has valid complaints.  However she is working very hard to shove the responsibility onto someone who is NOT responsible.  She does an exemplary job slinging blame and hostile intentions at Obama.  I have read the letter 4 times and have yet to find any policy substance that Trump will provide to support her and her family.

All of this can be refuted quickly and easily if she does ONE thing.  Prove it.

God's Plan - Pathetic Excuse

I recently had an exchange with set of twitter users that indicated that all the death and suffering currently being imposed by religious extremists in the Middle East is all part of a plan imposed/implemented by god.  They openly admitted that they are comfortable with this plan.  This plan contains everyone who is murdered or tortured by the Islamic fundamentalists.  All of this is based on some perverse love of Bronze Age ideology

One of these persons used the martyrdom term and prayer to cover for their rationalization of the horrors committed in the name of a god.  They will pray for those persons beheaded or slain in a bathroom because they did not meet the standard of the persons using god’s law to cleanse the earth of kafirs.  It is atrocious to think that prayer or doing nothing but thinking about god’s plan, will actually help anyone or anything change for the betterment of humanity.

What becomes evident quickly is that there are victims/cowards identified and barbarians/murderers and those who believe in any god will comfortably slip between roles because they are championing gods great plan.    Congratulations you have equated the phrase, it was part of gods plan to  - Allah akbar.  

The use of the term, gods plan, is an excuse to murder, torture, or marginalize humanity or is a way to watch from a safe distance and do nothing.

For those who do not speak up or act up to change the outcome of your own future hiding behind a plan from an imaginary sky daddy are actually worse than those who commit the atrocities.  You had the ability to act and you failed.   You are cowardly little shits and deserve the guilt you feel.    Unfortunately it is likely you feel no guilt for these people, their families, or the persons who watched these horrific events. 

Until you realize that guilt, sadness, fear, and anger are signals that something must change you are destine for a horrific outcome.

I am an atheist and do not support nor understand your twisted sense of reality.  I support humanity hoping that it will shed the need for a religious construct to feel better about the way we treat each other.  Facts are facts humans are animals, religion does not elevate us from that fact.  Some of these animals are so profoundly damaged by religious zealotry that that they cannot see belonging to a religion does not keep you safe it imperils your existence.

Religion poisons everything and will eventually destroy humanity.  I will work diligently to conversationally neuter any person or entity that supports this pathological perspective.  

I Am Not My Atheism

Many persons take their religion so profoundly personal that when an atheist expresses something perceived as hateful or disrespectful the observation is that the attack is an individual one.  Nothing should be considered personal from a disrespectful attack on religion (any religion). 

Please keep in mind that if a practitioner of said religion is so enmeshed in the dogma, tradition, and belief structure they have difficulty separating where the religion ends and person begins there are internal issues of identity. 

I am not my atheism.  My atheism does not dictate my actions for me.  My current assessment of reality is that there is not enough, nor there is any credible evidence to support my belief in the existence of any god.  This does not discount my respect for any person that expresses an interest or belief structure that is invested in the existence of a god or gods.    My actions are never taken to directly insult nor infer insult to a person unless their actions have manifested a direct attack on me personally.

I have respect for the great majority of users on the internet.  Very few have gone out of their way to personally attack me or my lack of beliefs.  That is greatly appreciated.  I have also had a great deal of constructive conversations with persons who have had differing perceptions and beliefs.

Stated clearly and succinctly I have no respect for religion, all religions are in the same dubious pool.   My life experiences with three different sects of Christianity have given me nothing but a lifetime of broken promises, false hopes, and wasted prayers.   I do not hold any one person, or group of persons, responsible for this circumstance.   The blame lies squarely on the oversight and implementation of dogma, tradition, and edicts lay down by the authority of the religion. This is typically in a written form and known as holy scripture.

In my life (any and all) religion is function-less and devoid of any meaning.  It operates like a business to collect funds and then hides all its misconduct behind the idea that it must be respected because of its legal status as a religion.  It leaves a horrible feeling of mistrust in all of my dealings.

There are many in the community who work diligently to attack me and my secular friends for our lack of any belief.  There have been many who have stood upon their pulpit of love and acceptance to fabricate stories about persons who do not fit the religious standards casting us into hell and ‘rebuking’ us in the name of Jesus.    This two-faced and cowardly approach to dialog does not inspire confidence fostering a relationship between the secular (atheist) and the religious persons.  These double standards and unfair expectations of respect based on title and religion are irrelevant.  A religious practitioner should never expect anything more than respect from one human to another and no additional privilege or respect based on religious affiliation.

Atheists free from the threats locally will turn the internet to seek out persons of the same perception persuasion.  Doing this locally causes extreme reactions from religions for reasons that are veiled in ritual and dogma.  We are human and have feelings also.  We deeply love our families and have positive and lasting relationships with many people.  And we react strongly when we feel that we have been treated unfairly or in a fashion that is demeaning to us as human beings.

I advocate for atheism.  I operate under the principle that I have but one life to live and I have to make it count.  The only thing that will remain after my death is what actions I took, and I will be remembered for the legacy I leave.

I hold no resentments against anyone who does not feel the same way I do about religion.  The dialog is free of emotion and considered nondestructive until the attack is directed at a human being. 

Islam Hides behind Racism to Protect Cowardice

There appears to be a negative and hostile reaction when atheists/agnostics/humanists become disrespectful or speak in undesirable terms regarding Islam.  The respondents to these comments typically cry foul and indicate that the individual is being racist. 

This is a clear indicator that the person playing the racism card has either been indoctrinated into Islamic perspectives or is grossly under educated and socially retarded. 

Islam is: a monotheistic religion based from the Qu’ran on the teachings of Mohamed’s interpretation of how life should be conducted and the religion spread.  Race is: a systemic way of classifying humans based on many different physical and social features.  Racism is: the equating that one race of humans is of greater value than others based on perception.  

Using the racism card to deflect attention from the religion’s actions or to elicit negative responses to those who are detecting that the religious affiliates are acting in an exceptionally inappropriate fashion is cowardice.

For the sake of argument could we invoke the same argument of race to all religions: Wiccan, Sikh, Mormon, Christian, Jehovah’s Witnesses’, Buddhists, Taoists, and  Pastafarians.  Then what of those who express NO religion?   Does that equate to no race?  

What is being projected by Islam is an illusion of victim-hood, maintaining claims of racism because the perception their religious beliefs are being disrespected.  I have read the Qu’ran, and the Bible both are rife with racial, gender, and religious inequalities in such a profound fashion that both texts call for the death of those who do not ascribe to the teachings of their prophets.  

This spinelessness is not just applied by Islam.  Many if not all religious sects use this tool to manipulate the populous into believing they are the victims of some horrible onslaught from other (races, religions, or social groups).    The proud portrayal victim-hood leads many leaders of these sects to advocate for abhorrent actions by their followers as a way of getting their agenda heard.  This is equitable to the use of terrorism to get religious or political attention.

Islam has a very bloody, violent, and socially retarded history of destroying all that is not of the same faith or religious practice.  Some of the rituals of this religion are bloody violent and horrifying (Halal).   When humanity starts to progress socially, choosing to abandon the, unnecessary, perturbing and archaic religious practices or they fall out of social favor it is not racism it is social maturation.

Islam – not a victim of racism, but a highly manipulative, aggressive, and hostile religious/political sect that uses carefully calculated psychological tools to hide behind.

I am likely to get a death threat for disrespecting Islam.  All that does is solidify my disrespect for all religions, contributing to my being more vocal about their eventual extinction.
