The Mind-Fuck of Religion: Waterboarding for the Masses

With all the news lately about torture memos, enhanced interrogation techniques, high-value detainees, etc., the question of whether water-boarding has any redeeming value seems worthy of consideration - but only for a moment. In a flash the imagery returns an abrupt verdict on that score. Only an idiot would see nothing wrong with this practice.

I have to say, I draw an intriguing parallel to something I experienced as a young child growing up. Having religious dogma forced down one's throat while trying to grow up is much like having water forced down one's throat while trying to breathe. The only difference is that the religious fuckers pull off the neat trick of making you look like you're enjoying it!



With a child, religion is the weapon of water, and conformity is that which is to be extracted. The torture of religion, however, is nefariously more efficient at achieving obedient submission and jack-booted loyalty.

My sense of justice and fair play demands that I do proceed with virtual prosecutions of those who violated the 'Geneva Conventions' of proper parenting. And would someone please explain to me the authoritative basis for this kind of child rearing. Who the hell came up with the brilliant idea of raping the minds of children in this most fucked up way? We would never think of indoctrinating children politically. Why? Because we understand that informed consent is the basis for embracing ideology - be it religious, political, or otherwise.

What I would like to see is law suits springing up all over, seeking damages for the abusive practice of penetrating the orifice of the intellect with the 'penis' of perverse religious dogma. Yes, mind-fucking. It is every bit as offensive as conventional fucking when perpetrated on the young and defenseless.
