Religious superiority I noticed that many years of christian school I was approached with the church because it was a part of the school. In fact the school did what the church wanted, essentially the church and the school went hand in hand. I came out west and since it has been ingrained in me (almost close to my every movement was judeo-christian save for the questioning absolute religious truth) I went to church out west in Arizona. Now you may say, this asshole is a christian from the start, yet I refute your direct statement. If I may retort. I go to church in order to see where the establishment is going with much of life. I find that there is a lot to learn, yet I am taught the same 3 messages: 1) progress is earned and not developed, people who make progress have earned the right all their life so a) church leaders and b) the old gentry (ie establishment) are the ones that make progress; every person in the church is progressless, stupid (ignorant), and generally worthless. 2) the world is supposed to be destroyed and so we are all supposed to hate the world, its inhabitants and every bit of progress (you see how circular this is starting to get *I like it that way*) 3) The establishment is the only subset of people that are to be respected, loved and feared. (HAHA) The establishment is out to get us. We are all pawns to the establishment and there is no progress because they have all thought they have seen everything and therefore there is no more progress. They believe that they are so old they have tried EVERYTHING, and therefore there is nothing else on earth that can possibly be tried and that there are no people on earth that can make anything new or learn anything that is different. People that are making progress are all to be poked, annoyed, told that if they are so great then how come they can't control the establishment, all their ideas have to do with sex and they are going to take sex away too; as if I care. The establishment is out to destroy the people that are making life easy on us and are out to make us all a part of their 3 problematic messages. I am an agnostic for life, and there is nothing that the establishment can do to me in order to turn around anything that I learn. There is nothing that the establishment can do to take away my desire to learn or my willingness to comply to school. The establishment is not going to bring God into engineering, the establishment is also not going to be able to start anything unwholesome in placing God in Engineering so they can start up their 3 messages again. The establishment will not use our machines against us, the establishment will not ruin progress through making elementary logic all that we study and most certianly will not be able to use the whole stack of solutions in order to compile a blood bath. I am sick and tired of being a pawn to the establishment. I am never going to church alone again. I am sure that when I am with friends, it is possible to watch the establishment move in order not to be destroyed by malignant narcicistic old people (ie establishment).
