It is not enough to be an atheist.
Hell, I'm an atheist and I hardly even notice.

You can't argue with religion.
Why?

Because no one cares.

The thing that most stupid fucking atheists can't get through their stupid fucking heads is that no one gives a damn.
No one cares about god.
No one cares about education.
People claim to care.
People have opinions and they argue them
They devote millions of dollars to religion, to educational reform, to environmental reform.
But they don't actually care.

No, they care about their lives.

This is why it gets so fucked up, you see.

Deep down, in the pit of every single person, is a burning self-interest.
A burning self-concern which makes him or her care most intimately about him or herself and things thereto related.

People who claim to care about the environment just care about themselves.
Now, I'm not making that same stupid fucking argument that "everyone who gives to charity does it because it makes them feel good."
Feeling good has nothing to do with it.

My point here is that people aren't gods.
People feel like gods.
People feel like they have every choice in the world
Like every second that goes by, they can just pick it all up, move it somewhere else, and start over.
Like they can start something new.

But no, people are very very particular.
Each person has devoted his or her time to studying one thing
Or a small set of things.
(well, not every person, e.g. not yours truly and not a small group of people yours truly respects)

They can't just switch.
How could they?
There's no bootstrap!

If you care about X, you can't just suddenly start caring about Y
Especially if you care about X enough!

"Now wait!" you'll say.
You said no one cares.

Well, ok, you caught me, the word has two meanings.

No one Cares (capital C).

This is my definition of Caring (capital C):
If you are willing bow your head humbly and say "I don't know, I really never knew, I want to learn more and do the best that I can." Then you Care (capital C).

I have heard only a few people say such a thing, and I respect those people more than anyone else in the world.

Here are some proofs that people don't Care about what they claim to (please forgive me if I forget to capitalize the "C" in Care)

---

Religious people don't care about god.
Proof:

If I cared about god, the first thing I would do
The most obvious thing, is decide to devote my life to His name.
Why? Because he's all fucking powerful!
Who the fuck cares about anything else?
There is a being of infinite power.

Some people believe that he has the power to send you to heaven or hell for eternity.
If such people sin
Ever
They are morons.
-or-
They don't _actually_ believe/Care.
If I believed that some being had such a power over me, then i would be a real dumbfuck if I ever did anything even remotely close to sinning. I would move into the forest, bow my head, and pray humbly every fucking day hoping for my soul to be saved.

No, religious people (or at least, every single one I have ever met) Care about:
1.) Culture
2.) Values associated with religion
3.) Other people who are religious
4.) Spiritual experience (much different from religion)
5.) Status quo
the list goes on and on

Atheist people don't Care about being atheists.
Proof:

Why the fuck would you care? It's atheism. It's like, I don't care about not believing in space ghouls. Well, I kind of do care since it would be pretty righteous with a capital R if such a thing existed, but that's beside the point.

---

(OK that wasn't fair, this is more important):

Atheists like Richard Dawkins, etc. do not Care about the truth:

They care about Atheism as a cause. They care about making people atheist. They care about very specific things related to their interests, but not about spreading understanding, etc.

Rhetoric over Reason.

I hate how much I hear atheists make retarded arguments. I'm like: "Come on, you already won one battle! Why are you arguing for socialism? You fucking tard, it's the same thing! Value cult! Value cult!"

---

Environmentalists do not care about the Environment:

As with everything else, if you really cared about the environment then you would devote more time to it, and you would try to think very constructively about what sorts of arguments are valid, what sorts of arguments are invalid, and what sorts of things we have to do to figure out things in the middle. Knowledge is not just going to fall into your lap about what to do, you have to think about it you pigfucks!

I am tired of hearing people tell me to turn off the lights, go vegan, stop driving in my car, etc.

None of this has anything to do with saving the environment (as I have argued before and will argue again, but I'm getting tired of these proofs).

---

This brings me to my big old point:

People who care care about SYSTEMS.

SYSTEMS are the important thing.

Blaming a dictator, blaming the american population, blaming a first grade class, it's all the fucking same.
You can criticize until you're blue in the face
You can change local properties until the cows shit milk
Any sufficiently large (read: 2) group of people will just keep on smiling and doing what they're doing
You will NEVER change anything because you are not CHANGING THE SYSTEM.

CHANGE THE SYSTEM TO SHOW YOU CARE.

The reason that people in the United States suck a big fucking dick right now is that our
SYSTEMS SUCK
The government sucks, education sucks, environmental standards suck, foreign policy sucks.

None of these are PEOPLE
stop blaming PEOPLE
blame the SYSTEM
kill the SYSTEM
down with the SYSTEM
long live the SYSTEM
SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM

Now stop talking all of your GARBAGE NONSENSE PSEUDO-PHILOSOPHY BULLSHIT AND GO OUT AND CHANGE THE SYSTEM.

Like I will do.
Or move into the woods and have goats.

I am posting this because it is a point in itself. Please read the other half first. Hell, does anyone even read all of this bullshit I write? Am I becoming a crazy old man: http://www.timecube.com/???

How are atheists/religious people/environmentalists related to systems?

Atheists and rational thinkers (if they really believe in reason) should attempt to make permanent progress w/r/t their beliefs. They should question everything and attempt to form a coherent theory based on rational principles and relation to their core beliefs and values. This is why a devoted mathematician is an idiot. He has not related his actions (mathematical research) to his core beliefs (?). Now, if he's a freak, maybe his core belief is mathematics. Maybe such people Care. That is outside the scope of this argument. I am addressing the mass, not the freaks.

Religious people should attempt to form a theory of religion. They should try to format it and make it nice and clean and easy to buy into. Jesus christ, if you have the answer then share it! Don't just sit there with your thumb up your ass saying "I don't know why you should believe, just believe!" If you do that, you seem silly and obviously don't Care.

Environmentalists should attempt to enact large-scale political change and to form a coherent theory of envrionmentalism.

Theory building is SYSTEM building.
No one can argue with a truly coherent THEORY. (if it is good enough)

---

Now, someone like Richard Dawkins would claim that he has a good theory.
WRONG.
Richard Dawkins's problem is that he has a theory alright, it's just the wrong fucking one.
He should be constructing a theory about why people believe in religion.
He should be trying to understand the point from every possible perspective to form a great balwark of brilliance which will shed its light everywhere.

For instance, here are some mistakes that he and his ilk make regularly because they are morons:

1.) They do not understand the value of arguing from other people's perspectives
2.) They undervalue spiritual experience - they claim that it doesn't exist, or basically do, which loses them a bunch of ears
3.) They do not understand that what they're saying sounds like dogma to a lot of people who don't believe it
4.) They do not understand human psychology
5.) They do not understand why religious people can survive in such massive numbers and why this doesn't make sense
6.) They do not understand the Cult of Cultural Values and why religion isn't REALLY the problem they're after. The problem they are after is SYSTEMATIC.

***7.) They do not understand the system, the human system, that we are all part of, how it works, how to change it, or anything about it.

They have some nice arguments and some nice t-shirts.
They have a correct conclusion (as any religious person would agree - we should not believe things that we do not believe, duh).
They just don't have the guns or the brainpower to back it up.

Which brings me to my ultimate conclusion:

Everyone in the world, except for me, is a moron (hehe)
Oh, come on, I'm kidding! Probably just like 99.9999% are morons.
(which means a great many of you are morons)
(but if you understood my arguments, then maybe you'll stop being morons!)
