This dehumanises and allows for the blame culture of avoidance …
As soon as you blame someone for their difficulties you have denied their humanity and yours !

Reposting these for posterity.
I just watched the TNG episode “Who Watches the Watchers,” and I must say, it was one of the finest pieces of science fiction I have ever seen, and one of the most important messages in all of fiction itself.
It moved me nearly to tears.
It was nice to see the promotion of knowledge, understanding, and the dispelling of superstition being lauded as the right, fair, and ONLY thing to do rather than nonsensical beliefs and fairy tales that only cause harm and hatred being “respected” for no good reason.
Excellent episode. One of my favorites.

Thought for the day …
The history of religion has been the history of predation upon the weak and the vulnerable …
Hi-jacking grief, hi-jacking disease, hi-jacking treatment, … births deaths and marriages, and all inbetween … there is always a priest about, like a spectre at the feast… there is nothing they won’t prey upon to increase their political hold over the masses … sounds just like consumerism and corporatism doesn’t it ? … who copied who ???
and that means ‘audited reasoning’ … a new concept for some ;)

I find it is an apposite time to make people aware of a disnifo war being started by the fundies … important please note the following !!… there is now an attempt to redefine paedophilia as a sexuality … this, they think will undermine LGBT rights arguments … this is of course absurd as paedophilia is not a sexuality anymore than bondage or animal abuse … but the gullible may fall for it … be alert these things are happening now on youtube .. if you know teenagers let them know so they are not swayed by clever sounding arguments … the only people who say paedophilia is a sexuality are paedophiles and their advocates … trying to rationlise their abuse … another of the arguments is that sexuality exists in children … this is a blatant lie as sexuality cannot exist pre-puberty … be aware of these attempts at disinformation !
Bibliophilia is the obsessive love of books … it does not mean a sexuality with books !
