Lest we forget: Michael Hastings, murdered June 18, 2013

The Wail of Doom

Like most revolutionary changes in the history of philosophy (the Enlightenment, Heliocentrism), it came like a thief in the night, and when we woke, there it was on the bed next to us, yawning and stretching, and inviting us to nuzzle the soft down of its belly:   Belief in Christianity was dead.  Deadest in those parts of the world--Ireland, Germany, South America and the Iberian penninsula--where it had been most virulently undead.  89% of Spaniards, 88% of Germans (the greatest percentage in the world), according to a poll taken last week, think homosexuality is perfectly all right, and wouldn't mind if their kids were gay; and that, of course, is the most important statistic.  But it is no less significant that the number of atheists in these countries has doubled in the last decade, while church attendance has dropped to the single digits.

But why has this wonderful thing happened?  There don't seem to be any fully articulate, objective answers--and nothing which plainly shows the connection between its (i.e., the demise of Christianity's) two primary and salient philosophical tenets:  (1) the perfect rightness, social usefulness and absolute normality of male homosexuality; and (2) the utter absurdity, fatuity and nonsensical cruelty of Abrahamic religions.  Bullshit and political correctness aside, women, Lesbians--and Gay Marriage--are a peripheral issue.  Just as computers, the Internet, video games, television comedy are, for all intents and purposes, exclusively male preoccupations, so it begins to appear that the normal, default social and sexual orientation of at least 85% of men is homosexual, same as whales.
