Are all fundamentalists stupid?

Religion can give people hope and strength. Something to hold on to when everything seems to fall apart. And that's nice.

It could be the believe in a goddess of the trees, a god of the river, an animal spirit, one of the current traditional gods like Allah, Jahweh or, you know, God. But also the believe you own something that's the best ever because it has a silver apple on it, can comfort people.

Nothing wrong with that. But there ís something wrong with religious zealots: they are stupid.

Like this one:

Can you see what's wrong with this statement? Please say you do.

====================

It's okay to believe and it's okay to be stupid. 

Faith only becomes dangerous when it drives people too far and they become fundamentalists, easily steered by people who don't mean well. Not for the human race, anyway. They just want more money and power for a small group: themselves and their closest minions. 

So demagogues turned faiths and believes into religions and the flock started to kill eachother over land and camels. Camels? Yes, camels.

From the R¡ver to the S3a

Have decided to write a book in which a Higher Being promises Iceland to my offspring. So in 3.000 years from now, my offspring (and millions who claim to be), 

can legally murder Icelanders and occupy their homes. 

Sounds rather silly, right? And a bit frightening: legally killing tens of thousands of children based on a probably non-existing, 3.000 years old promise? 

But it's exactly why millions are being displaced and even murdered. 

Or is there some other reason why z¡onists want all the land that stretches from the R¡ver to the S3a? 

In the same Bible in which God promised the Promised Land to the offspring of Abraham (so yeah, He also promised the Holy Land to the Muslims), He attached a few demands.

Interesting sidenote: Abraham lived - some 1000 years apart from Ötzi the Iceman - in the Bronze Age.

The Israelites did not keep their promise to God but still demand Him to keep His part of the deal.

Why did they need the Allies after WW2 to put them on transport to the Middle East? Couldn't their all powerful God give them Isra-el?

Z¡onists 'accidentally' forget to [indoctrinate] teach their children it clearly states the land was promised to all descendants of Abraham, not just to the followers of Judaism, the J3ws. 

Luckily some escape the mind control of z¡onist rabbis. But it's a rare occurrence. 

Would you willingly give up your home if someone showed you a 3.000 years old piece of paper that stated some self invented Higher Being promised them the land you live on?

I demand the right to be stupid!

After almost a year in control, the first Dutch fasc.. pardon me... radical right government, fulfilled exactly one (1) of the dozens of promises that made 25% of the population vote them in:

Being allowed to drive at a speed of 130kph! Yeah!

Few remarks: 130kph already was the speed limit on certain roads and on certain times of day. Making the new law cost the tax payer tens of thousands of euros, months of meetings by hundreds of people who couldn't do anything useful and would probably lead to more accidents.

'Yeah, but it increased the stretches of road where I can drive 130kph!' True. By 26 kilometres. Happy now you get to pay more taxes because the new Dutch government added a stretch of 26 kilometres where you can drive 130kph?

While it will be interesting to find out what the next big change is that is caused by [stupid, selfish idiots] the [f4scist] new Dutch government, here's why it's stupid to just drive faster, not smarter. Explained by Not Just Bikes:

The Dutch 'radical right' (f4scists start crying for their mommy if you call them f4scists. Those poor snowflakes) loves their US counterpart. Because they are just as dumb and simplistic as other dumbright people. Take this absurd plan to turn the USA into Gilead, 'Project 2025'. You know, which TFG stated he didn't know anything about.

"How will you cut government spending according to this great plan of yours, a few hundred of you have thought about for years?"

"To cut government spending, we will cut government spending."

I'm sorry America, but your new leaders are ignorant, stupid, r4cist toddlers.
