Now what? If there is
Now what?
If there is one thing that will fuck up the establishment of a stable and effective government in neo-Iraq, it's religion. Whether it's the Assyrian Democratic Movement, the Amal Islamic Organization, the Assyrian Patriotic Party, the Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party, Chaldean Federation of America, The Constitutional Monarchy Movement, the Iraqi Communist Party, the Islamic Dawa Party, the Islamic Dawa Party(again), the Iraqi National Accord, the Iraqi National Coalition, the Iraqi National Congress, the Iraqi National Front, the Iraqi National Front (again), the Iraqi National Party, the Iraqi Turkman Front, the Kurdish Democratic Party, the Kurdistan Islamic Union, the Kurdistan Toiler's Party, the Movement Sacred National Defense, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, The Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, The Socialist Party of Kurdistan, The Faili Kurds, the Turkoman People's Party, or the Worker Communist Party of Iraq... religion is going to fuck this up. Someone's Wheaties are going to get pissed in and it will all come crumbling down. Progress will digress and the next thing you know, there will be some Saddam-ish rise to power and subsequent oppression. There are some that would argue that if the world had no religion, there would be world peace. I think that's a little farfetched, but there is some truth in concept. Personally I believe that we started out doing the right thing for the wrong reasons and now we're probably going to do the wrong things for the right reasons. Sometimes we need to stay out of OPP and drink a beer on the porch. God forbid a bunch of senseless killin', but this hundreds of billions of dollars of debt shit is going to drive my taxes through the roof. Am I being selfish? I think not.

right on, brother
YEAH! What I hate the most is how the concepts of faith and spirituality are used interchangeably with that nasty ‘R’ word.
If I was God, I’d spit on us. Most of us just don’t get it.
All you have to do is look at the animal kingdom to know that erasing religion would do little to change war, only what we fought for (not that we were fighting over religion this time).
Anyway, in both chimp and dolphin societies you see political coalitions that form as a result of a common interest and then disband due to individual interests once the common interest is achieved. It’s usually related to food, territory and vagina, three things worth way more to fight over than religion.
Somebody mentioned something to me once about the “Church of the Deadboy”, or something like that...their motto: “stab, fuck, eat”...something like that...that’s what life pretty much boils down to. Everything else was created to fill space and kill the boredom between these three primal urges.
