Cults of Intolerance

I’ve been sitting on this one for a little while because I didn’t really know how to begin. This religion-influenced ignorance burns me the fuck up. Organized religions are nothing more than cults of hate and intolerance. All organized religions.
 
“But, Bill,” you might argue, “Religious people are good people. Don’t single out the extremists as the norm.”
“No,” I reply, “Religious people are not good people. They are hateful, intolerant people and consistently use their holy books as an excuse to spread their own ignorance, hate and intolerance. That is their norm. There are no religious people who are good, however, there are good people who are also religious. There is a big difference.”

Mr. Hooper

This episode of Sesame Street first aired Thanksgiving day, 1983. I was just shy of 12 years old. Yes, I saw it then. And I would be lying if I didn’t admit to occasionally watching Sesame Street now. There is still no better show – aimed toward any demographic – on television.

An event sort of recently happened that instantly reminded me of this lesson and this blog presents me with a forum in which I can share it with you. It's amazing all the things I've retained from this show.

I do not mean to infringe upon any copyrighted material. I will gladly remove this partial transcript if asked to do so by Sesame Workshop. Know that it is presented out of love and respect.

Please enjoy…

Speaking Softly

I love Joe Biden. His gaffes are generally the harmless type. The sort an off-color uncle or oblivious grandfather would make. Never that much of  'a big fucking deal.'

On Thursday, April 26, while speaking at New York University about President Obama’s foreign policy, he managed to once again “pull a Biden.” He told the crowd that Obama has a big stick.

In honor of Vice President Biden, here’s something I wrote a little over a year ago about Obama’s big stick.

Mitt Romney is a Threat to America

"Oh, c'mon. You're being a bit melodramatic now, aren't you?"

No. I'm probably understating the fact if anything.
