Jesus saves the day and prevents the world from Britney Spears upskirt!

Sometimes Britney Spears likes to air out her vagina and sometimes she forgets about it. Jesus, the man that protects everyone, has to step in and save the day from seeing this horrible Britney Spears upskirt. He almost died for Britney’s sins, but he’ll survive for another fight.

I’ve heard this suggested and I thought it was a bit funny. Most people wouldn’t guess it, but I’m a conservative. Yes, there are atheist conservatives. And often I’ll run into people that come from the religious right. This is where I heard this.

They were talking about how Allah was a God that is basically about assimilation, while the “Christian God” respected individual rights.

When you compare the Middle East to the United States you would get that idea, but I don’t believe that it has anything to do with religion. I think it’s because the Western world (for the most part) is built on individual rights and separation of church and state.

The United States has a pretty clear separation of church and state. I know some people will disagree with that and you’re right, but you have to look at things for what they are. When you compare prayer in school to decapitations and mass murder, you’ll start to view prayer in school as a tiny little problem.

When you look at the core writings of all religion you’re going to find it is all about assimilation, so for that very reason I don’t think “God” respects individual rights. For the most part, people are normal and live in the real world and aren’t obsessed with following their book on faith to a “T”.

I’d like to go further into the concept of religion and individual rights because I believe inevitably that religion works to stomp out individuals and no matter how principled you are, you’ll come to believe it.

All of us have a constitution in our mind. It encompasses our morality, values, ethics, politics, our creation, our existence, etc etc etc. This constitution ends up defining how we make decisions. If someone asks you if you want to steal a car, you’ll look at your constitution and determine that it is wrong. Another person could look at their constitution and steal it.

Basically we have two types of people; those that have a straight forward philosophy with their constitution and others that have conflicted constitutions. And I believe that religion causes a conflicted constitution.

For example, conservatives are supposed to be for less government. They want to get the government out of people’s lives. But you’ll find that religion and morality start to conflict with political views. This is where you’ll see the government going into “people’s bedrooms” and trying to stop gay marriage.

Another example is a business owner that has the integrity and ethics to hire the best person for the job, but they end up in a conflict because the best person for the job is a homosexual and that conflicts with their religion and morality.

This is the reason I don’t believe God or religion respects individual rights. Inevitably there will be a conflict between the choices of individuals and the religion. It’s going to happen and because religion is much more emotional it will often be the winner during the conflict.
