God is still dead. 

The slayings both inside and beyond the offices of Charlie Hebdo have already inclined into our fears about being kept ‘safe’. Being kept away from everything nasty outside the country and slowly cutting all ties by being protected by the state. It’s the only way forward, apparently. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a CCTV camera being shoved up your arse. Forever.

We’re being sold immigration control as an aid to counter terrorism by keeping all those 'scrounging non-whites' from coming into the UK. However, immigration control just means surrendering more of your own rights on an hourly basis. The only thing 12 journalists dead at a Paris magazine means to any western government is that they will now have more agency to claim your freedom in the name of ‘National Security.' In fact, the only people benefiting from terrorism are the governments. There is no need for white paper legislation anymore (remember democracy) because as soon as a bomb explodes somewhere in the world every western government has a raft of surveillance legislation standing by to be rushed through for our protection. As happened with Cameron on the very day of the Paris shootings. How quickly did they get THAT legislation ready?

Immigration/GCHQ/NSA/Government - whatever you want to call it needs these infractions to reinforce our ‘safety’ knowing that we only really respond primarily with human compassion and 'prayer'.  Here’s where we come unstuck. Every government and every agent of those governments knows too well that ‘god is dead’ because they’ve already replaced him with technology. And machines and computers don’t lie, get emotional or make mistakes. 

But it’s not actually the terrorists that are to blame. It’s every religion that does not take responsibility for the groundless monotheistic cultural terrorism that they ALL perpetrate.

But it’s not actually the terrorists that are to blame. It’s every religion that does not take responsibility for the groundless, monotheistic, cultural terrorism they all perpetrate. And this naïveté keeps everyone amused while the real power of god surveilles and controls us with our own permission.

Since I believe strongly in the free press and since there really is no god, all argument is therefore moot and these killings – any killings – are just murder. (Don’t worry, we’ll soon be back to pedophilia and some Kardashian in a few weeks)

Since god is dead, what will now scare the crap out of us into conforming without some omniscient old geezer with a beard watching our every move? Someone from whom we can never escape? History tells us that the only fear we can own will always be something we cannot see. It’s almost like celestial surveillance is being replaced by real surveillance! Heathen forbid! A god that doesn’t care who you are because, while you’ve been out bombing and shooting and oppressing every freedom, sexual or otherwise, under the aegis of your chosen god, GCHQ and the NSA have already sacked the poor bugger.

If it were possible to prove the existence of any god then believe me we would have done so. Science and Darwin proved that in that in the 19th century. And 21^st century technology confirmed that there were to be no more gods. OK there’s a few remnants of rags that we can prove scientifically came from the 14^th century equivalent of T.K. Max and the image of Christ on a slice of Wonderbread made us think that maybe god does exist because someone’s just sold him on eBay.

Just imagine if they had the technology back in the day so they could document virgin births, mortal prophets moving mountains and turning water into wine? Ay ay ay...

Systems of force and ‘new moralities’ (OK, that’s the last time I will mention the Murdoch funded pedophilia debacle) have been introduced into every society when it faces a threat to the status quo- the most recent god being money and the devil being recession. But since I have as much idea of what morality is as I do god, it’s all become a bit fuzzy. All we are ever left with are systems and codings prescribed by a bunch of mortals whether they be 14^th century witch finders murdering random women or Nazi’s in cute matching uniforms or Jihadists dressed head to toe in Islington black or mounted Christians carrying flaming crosses. If religion is always god, then annihilation is its sworn emperor.

It appears that the only thing god never gave anyone was reason. Religion is apparently a choice - you chose to be in or out. But every, and I mean EVERY religion has had a bearing on me at some point in my life. So therefore religion isn’t actually a choice. It has, and always will be, an imposition on the defenseless - usually newborns – and now on the victims of terrorism.

I can’t single out any religion because they’re all baseless support groups: the tribalistic ways of mankind to nurture and group-feed in a containable manner.

But hang on, this collectivism was supposed to keep us safe from attacks from other tribes.

The only thing the Charlie Hebdo magazine has done is depict people of different religions on its covers. These are pictures of people. These are not gods. So what’s the problem? We’re only seeing people. When a religion permits human or even celestial visual representations of its gods and prophets, why then should an image on a magazine cover offend? Just pretend it isn't who you think it is. There, easy. All these pictures and symbols are sketchy I think you'll agree. Why not rise above it and let your religion guide you to better places because, apparently, nothing will ultimately matter in the afterlife. If your religion is about forgiveness, then forgive.

It’s actually about respect. So if it’s faggots that you don’t like, then just forgive us and move on as your religion dictates. And if any religion condemns me for whatever I am, then they should have the faith of me going straight to hell when I die and just let me keep dancing on the slutbox of life while I’m still here. Your conversation with what you think god is, is no business of mine. And I really don’t care. And I can’t promise that I will never take rainbow flags and handbag music into your places of worship either. So, just keep talking and praying if you must, but please - all of you - do so in a respectful silence to everyone else.
