About This Site
I want people to take responsibility for their acts, and not hide behind any God.
This is the real life and not a fairytale, so please behave. You don't get another chance, neither does your neighbour. We're all in the same boat so grab an oar and start to row and maybe together we can make it beyond the horizon. To the true paradise.
- Peder Valentin Johansson, formerly of the rock band Falconer
The whole purpose behind building this site was two-fold. The first was personal, the second one not so much.
The first part is to laugh at the whole concept of simply showing up to church, or being made to show up to church by your parental units. Church is so unbearably boring. It is also a complete and utter waste of my valuable time. I had to go to church almost every weekend until I turned 16, so its not like I am a Christmas-Easter Catholic complaining about a 2 hour service that I have to go to twice a year. I faced punishments for not going, like loss of just about anything a child would like to do, be it watch TV, play on the computer, or go and play outside with friends. I also had to take part in religious education. That was far from a good time. The classes were really boring, the teachers were very monotonous. I am very bitter about this, as you can tell.
The second purpose of this site is to also laugh at the concept of organized religion. Organized religion is responsible for so many crimes committed in the name of whatever God you choose to believe in. More people kill in the name of their religious faith then do people who kill in the name of the Devil. Religion these days is used as a tool of exclusion and division rather than teaching people how to be spiritual and hold positive values. Especially with the Religious Right, religion is more about politics these days, and accomplishing moral agendas, such as banning gay marriage, promoting abstinence education, delaying the progress of science through promoting intelligent design and delaying possibly life-saving cures by hindering stem-cell research.
It looks like all that "Pew Time", as my dad put it, was sort of worth it in the end. At least I created this site out of it.
This site is not about worshipping the devil, as some might think. This site is to promote discussion and free thinking.
