I respect religion (to an extent) and I'm glad it's around to promote good nature in people, but the thing I always found disturbing is the blind faith people have in something with so many flaws. It's fine if you want to believe it on your own by yourself of your own volition(because that's none of my business), but when you push it onto others and offend others by asserting that the religion you believe in is FACT, that's where I draw the line. I kind of find this picture offensive, if not at least a little bit unnerving simply because its bad propaganda(like almost all propaganda is.) The idea that we evolved from simpler life forms doesn't change how we are today. If anyone is actually repulsed at the though of having evolved from a primate-like species millions of years ago than they need to get their priorities straight.
Oh also it's generally a good idea to keep your mind open to all schools of thought, not just the one you've been following the longest. I had a "discussion" with a respected peer about abortion that turned into her outright name calling me. You really can't discuss or debate anything if you refuse to believe in the possibility that the opposition is correct, or at least respect that the opposition believes what they are fighting for is correct but not a FACT. Sometimes I think people have a hard time deciphering what is opinion and what is fact...(that being said I have no interest in creating any athiest or agnostic propaganda whatsoever, because that would mean demeaning the opposition, which is usually what propaganda does, and I have nothing to gain by openly disrespecting any religion.)
Anyway, just thought I'd put my two cents in. This was not meant to be a personal attack, but merely a display of my thoughts on christianity and propaganda in general. Thank you for reading and hopefully you will have a response soon. (But you know you don't have to respond. I just felt like discussing this with someone and I stumbled across your gallery.)
I was always confused by god and such. I was yanked out of bible school becuase i said that there were certain breeds of lizards that could run on water, and i asked why god let little babies from good families die and why he let little girls get raped ( iw as 6 at the time) he would remain quiet or say "it's all apart of god's plan".
I say no. there cant be any god if he let my parents divorce when they were great people. My dad went to confessional and my mom did, too. But they split and my dad lives in shame because he is no longer catholic. All of his family died when he was little. His brother, sister, father, and his mother suffers from alltzimers. How's that for god? Me and my sister were apart of a set of triplets but our third died at three. Yeah, thanks, god.
But no more sappy things, kay? I went camping with some creationist kids, and they were freaky. I love fossils, and at my cristian preschool every two months we would go on a field trip to go fossil hunting. Trilobites were fun to catch, and i told my creationist friends at camp that they were millions of years old. (you know, over 5 forms of testing the age of fossils shows that) and they said that the earth is not that old. wth? they say they all died in the great flood. /*cough**cough* they were aquatic animals*cough**cough* I just played along. I learned that dinosaurs are still alive. psh.
I think that the bible was a book to unite people at war through a feeling that "if you're good you'll go to heaven and everything will be great" or "If you're bad God'll getcha!" Backthen it worked. Now it just makes people hold back progression.
Heck, the only reason war exists is religion.
"If you fly a plane into this building it'll make god realy happy!"
or "God doesn't care about those silly brown people, you can make money off of them!"
or even "God says you shouldn't have your own country!" as compared to "Your god is wrong! Our god is the right one and wants us to have our own country!"
psh psh psh.
I have more if you care to listen. But i bet you'l just give me some bible-bologna.
we're animals. there's proff. and if we found out earlier we wouldn't have as many problems as we do now.
The picture of the monkey and the rest of it are just puns on the phrase "you won't make a monkey out of me", yet at the same time tying it in to evolution - that believes man are nothing but animals only.
And that we are classed in the 'animalia' taxology, yet we are not completely animal (as used by the definition of 'beast' in my artists comments) - we are the only creatures made in God's image; there's a big difference in such classification itself, also.
I a agree with you on the "not animals only" part, but obviously not in the same sense.
