The Diamond Bullet: Volume 1

Hey, everyone! Look what I found. It's a picture of my favorite edition of the Holy Bible.

I'm My Own Atheist

Alright, kids! I’ve been seeing a few things on the old Facebook news-feed that have been pissing me off, lately. As much as I’d like to delete my profile and flip everyone the bird, I’m stuck. Unfortunately, being an actor does require one to maintain a certain element of two-facedness. I’m not even remotely famous enough yet to where I can get away with expressing too much bile and hatred without being black-balled from the artistic community altogether. That’s why I keep this blog. It’s separate from my FB profile entirely, and so far it seems no one reads it. This obviously serves as a kind of double-edged sword. I've no one to stroke my extremely needy ego, but I’m also safe to spew off as much hate as may tickle my fancy without fear of repercussion from any casting directors that might have their prying eyes on my Facebook status and latest tweets. So, here’s goes.

As the title of this article suggests, I am indeed an atheist. I've been one for some time. I won’t bore you with the tiny details. Just suffice to say it works for me, and I’m happy with my discovery. As most of you know an atheist essentially does not believe in the existence of a supreme being, and more often than not it follows that said person does not practice any kind of religion whatsoever. That’s not to say that I am not indeed spiritual. I have a passion for my art, and all the ritualistic practices that go with it.

Having said that, I’m not just ANY atheist.  I’m my own Atheist. By that I mean I still hold onto my principals. I’m polite, respectful, courteous, and I can coexist with my religious neighbors. To me that is what a true atheist is. That is, someone who truly realizes in the strictest sense that no religious stimuli from any source can possibly affect them. Why? Because it’s just fantasy, that’s why.

In other words, just because you are atheist doesn't mean you have to get in the faces of god fearing people and tell them they need to get a fucking life or blow it out their ass. Atheists don’t need to bellyache and whine about the Ten Commandments being displayed in a courthouse. Atheists don’t need to constantly shoot their damn mouths off about war memorials that feature Stars of David, and Crucifixes. It doesn’t affect us. No atheist with any common sense is going to waste their time starting a campaign to have large crosses removed from freeway hillsides because it “infringes upon their own civil liberties,” and makes them feel “uncomfortable.” Again, crosses don’t affect us. It's just an object. 

Constantly second-guessing other people who have developed a long standing belief-system based on upbringing, or years of personal experience is not being an atheist. That’s just being an ASSHOLE! Plain and simple. You have atheism, and then you have ASSHOLISM. Unfortunately, most celebrity atheists fall into this latter lunatic fringe of the atheist community.

Listen, if you are a school teacher that also happens to be an atheist, then you are at an advantage. Good for you. Your job should be easier. You are not allowed to talk about god at work, and that’s fine, because you would never want to anyway.

However, you do not have the right to walk up to students who are giving a prayer of thanks over their lunch in the cafeteria and say to them “Hey, quit that. This is a public school.” You can’t do that. If a student pulls out a tiny bible during reading period and begins to leaf through it you cannot say to that student, “Put that away, I don’t wanna see it.” You are not allowed to do that, either. It’s against the law, and it’s downright rude. That student is protected by the first amendment. That is freedom of religion. You may think, “Well, isn't that a double standard?” Nah, it’s not. I’ll explain why. You are being paid to be there. They are not. The law requires that they be there. No truant officers are going to come knocking on your door if you someday decide to quit being a teacher. That’s your prerogative. Students don’t have that option. They are there because the state says they have to be there. Let them have their little alone time with their little comic book that’s got a cross on the cover, and get on with your work. Once again, this does not affect you.

If you hand out a writing assignment to your students asking them to write about a “hero” in their lives, and an eight year old girl picks Jesus Christ, more power to her. It’s not your place to grade her based on her opinions and her religious beliefs. Separation of Church and State, remember? That means you can’t discuss religion with the kids AT ALL, regardless of whether it’s favorable, or NEGATIVE. If the kid writes about Jesus, then the kid writes about Jesus. That is that. Here’s what you look for as a teacher. You look for spelling errors. You check for good grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. See if the narrative flows smoothly. Then if there’s time you see if she put her name and the date in the top right hand corner of the page. If that is said and done then you are good to go. You give a decent grade and you move along to the next student. You don’t write in BIG FUCKING RED LETTERS at the top of page “Don’t talk about Jesus.” You don’t demean, humiliate, undervalue, and objectify a child like that. You just don’t do it. If any teacher reading this does not share this view then that teacher has no business being in a classroom. They have no business around children at all for that matter. That is a cold, calculating, condescending, and narrow-minded individual that would probably be much better suited to making pretzels for a living. Pretzels don’t have feelings, unless of course you feel like you are playing God when you make them. That might be different.

Anyway the point is that a true atheist should be just that. An atheist and that’s it. It should only apply to you and you alone. Leave everybody else the fuck out of it. Unless they ask you for an opinion, then by all means open your trap and fire away. That’s my system. Assholism is an entirely different thing. It’s when not only do you not believe a God exists, but you hate the concept of worshiping a God SO much that you hate everybody who does worship God. Not only are you an atheist, but you spend your every waking moment trying to turn everyone else into an atheist also. You are combative, arrogant, and egotistical. You are insulting. You are vicious to people. You make veiled threats. In behaving that way you have become your own worst enemy. You are demonstrating all of the worst qualities of the very kinds of people you are fighting against. It’s like saying “keep that religion shit out of my face. Now, you better not believe in ANY of that mumbo jumbo on MY watch or I’ll burn you at the stake. Here’s a copy of National Geographic. There’s an article in there about evolution. READ THAT INSTEAD, OR I’LL BOX YOUR EARS.” You are now the shining and glowing example of everything that is wrong with organized religion. Congratulations! Want a statue? Here’s an Academy Award. That should suffice.

Alls I’m saying is try to honor the very essence of why atheists exist. We beg, and we plead the nut-balls that pound on our doors and shove copies of Watch Tower in our hands at the bus stops each day to please keep it to themselves. Why should we sink to their standards?

What makes us any better? Just be courteous. If you’re like me, and you don’t believe there is a God, good for you, but unless you’re provoked, keep it to yourself.

Barack Obama continuously compared to Hitler on FB, Twatter, and other social networks. What is wrong with this picture?

Okay, you fucks. I've kept my silence about this for long enough. Last time I checked, Barack Obama did not kill six million Jews. There also doesn't seem to be any evidence that he wiped out 1.8 to 1.9 million non-Jews from Poland. Furthermore, I haven't been able to locate any information that proves he's murdered around 500,000 to 1.2 million Serbs. To my knowledge, there also aren't any leads supposing that he is responsible for the deaths of about 800,000 Roma & Sinti, 300,000 handicapped people, approximately 200,000 Freemasons, 100,000 communists, between 10,000 and 25,000 homosexuals, or 2,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, either. Trust me, I've looked. Sorry, my conservative pig friends, but the information just isn't there. Go ahead and look for it yourself if you don't believe me. I defy you to find facts that our current President did any of these things. If you've got something show it to me. I'll eat my words.

Yet these idiots. These knuckle dragging dip-shits. These fuckwads who have obviously not read a single book in their entire god damned lives. These kindergarten drop-outs. These freaks who got straight D minuses in all of their history classes through school if they were lucky. They continue to post these psychotic memes on FB, and Twitter issuing "warnings" about Obama. I keep seeing these insane Photoshop images with Barack having a tiny black mustache. People shouting and screaming in front of Post Offices saying things like "He's Hitler. He's Hitler. He's a Dictator. Genocide, ruthless, totalitarian regime, police state" blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, bellyache bellyache bellyache.

HEY, IF YOU'RE DOING THAT, FUCK YOU!!!

THAT SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP. IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY, OKAY?

People were saying this about Bush too. I didn't like it then, either. It's offensive, and IT'S BULLSHIT. Plain and simple! I don't want to see it on my newsfeed, and I sure as FUCK don't want it on my wall. I will immediately unfriend and BLOCK anybody that puts something like that on my Facebook page. And mark me. If I see you on the street-I WILL BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU, because you are an ignorant FUCKTARD and you are unfit to breath. Is that clear enough for you? Maybe that's being too dictator-like. I wouldn't want to come off as a Hitler, or anything like that.

The END!!!
