Carbon Monoxide is produced by combustion of fossil fuels, gas engines, wood fires, coal power plants etc.  When you breathe it in, it bonds with the hemoglobin in your blood, which prevents it from effectively bonding with oxygen to oxygenate your cells, essentially suffocating you no matter how much air you're breathing into your lungs.

I bring this up because according to the EPA we (the United States) pump roughly 214 billion pounds of the stuff into the air every year.



Is it just a coincidence that the number one complaint doctors hear is exhaustion and tiredness?  Why shouldn't we be tired, we're being suffocated by carbon monoxide emissions.

Global warming, even if it's really happening, is a red herring against environmentalism.  The fact of the matter is even if global warming were a hoax, it still would be a good idea to poison ourselves a little less by reducing carbon emissions.

In places like LA there are now smog alerts.  Meaning they warn you on TV that it's better to recycle the air in your home than it is to go outside, because the air outside is too toxic.

Come on people!

I wrote this as a comment in someone's blog, and thought it was worth a blog:

A child cannot consent to an ideology being shoved on them at a young age for the same reason they cannot consent to sex.  Their brain is under-developed and they lack the maturity and reasoning skills to understand either. 

However while it's considered downright evil to molest a child's body, it's been a time honored tradition for thousands of years to molest their brain long before they can ever consent or understand what is being done to them.

If you don't get how this is egregious, imagine for a moment (in the original blog comment I was speaking to a christian) that someone had gotten to you when you were young and indoctrinated you into islam.  You would be convinced that there is no god but allah and mohammad is his prophet right now and you would almost certainly never stop believing that.  Because you didn't make up your mind, your mind was made up for you.  You were molested in a horrible way before you had any defense against such ideas.  Just as if someone had opened up the back of your brain and programmed it like a computer, all of your religious freedom of thought was stripped away.

Why?  Because that's how their parents did them, and their parents' parents and so on for a thousand years.

It's disgusting.  Especially when you consider that at least most religions must be lies, and most interpretations of the "true" religion would be false.  Indoctrination is the greatest force propping up falsehood (and blasphemy) in this world.

Atheists aren't angry or bitter all the time.  The reason we are seen this way is, I suspect, because usually the only time a theist finds out I'm an atheist is when they beat me over the head with their bible and piss me off.

Religion is a depressing subject to me.  So when I debate it I can be bitter, or angry, or fed up because you're not the first evangelist to tell me ANYTHING you're telling me, hell you're not even the fortieth one most of the time.

If I get fed up or speak negatively when religion comes up it's because it's a depressing subject and something I view as a poison to our society.  Not because I'm a negative person.

You get me talking about music or philosophy or cracking jokes or talking about eastern spirituality and I'm happy as a clam.


So to all the theists out there, try not to judge.
