The loons are in overdrive in the United States and as a general rule the farther south one goes the loonier it gets. Rick Perry is prime example of the the cringe inducing, bile forming sectarian yahoo’s that ooze out of the woodwork and somehow gain political power. Darkmatter2525 illustrates quite nicely how the wyrm of religious zealotry is destroying the secular, rational basis of society.
Hymns suck. And I don’t just mean in moral or rational sense, though they definitely suck in those areas as well. I mean musically. They are absolutely wretched. As a fledgeling choral singer, I’m aware of some wonderfully fantastic religious based pieces that are beautiful to listen to and sing, filled with ludicrous immorality though they may be. But those pieces aren’t for the congregation. They are much to difficult and stimulating. No. The order of the day is simplicity and monotony to lull the brain to sleep, priming it for whatever indoctrinated message pasted nakedly across the song. Repetitive droning is key to drilling ugly ideas into the poor minds of parishioners. Of course, if you don’t buy into the B.S, then all you get is a hellishly dull experience that you wouldn’t call ‘music’ even at your most cynical.
If you haven’t checked out the godless comedy of Mitchell and Webb yet, I highly recommend you do so. Today’s viewing, from Series 4:Episode 3, according to David of Mitchell, presents a satirical look at not only the plodding tediousness of hymns, but also the inherent offensiveness of religion, no matter how happy a face they try to draw on it.
In our name, let us mock.
Serious sounding title eh? :)
Let’s look at a slightly more irreverent analysis by one of my favourite ytubers, Betty Bowers.
The short answer is yes, and despite what the pious say, they do just like the immoral heathen atheists do. This video by Discern4 tackles this topic with an even handedness that, by standards of this blog, puts it firmly into the mild category of religious criticism. I guess one needs to take a break from slam dunking religion every once and awhile.
It’s a simple test really, the omnipotent god of the universe who cherishes us so should use her mighty powers to have a limb regrow. Easy right?
But then again, miracles only happened 2000 years ago(ish) so we are fresh out luck.
The bible isn’t all bad. Just mostly. :) Video ends 5 minutes ish. The rest is US political meandering.
Sometimes the most basic of points are the most effective. Join Superman and Batman as they fight evil, god style!
