Headgear

I was just thinking. How in the hell is someone going to tell me that some fucker who lived over 2000 years ago died for my sins. I am talking about this character called Jesus Christ. How fucking ridiculous does that sound. First of all sins is a subjective judgment on things you do. So there are problems from the get go. Then to purport that I owe something to this person. Holy shit those people are crazy. Ehh it doesn't bother me really. The world is still in transition from mysticism to science. The two are not parallel field as some like to think. Science is the progression from mysticism. I am hoping mysticism will finally be passed by in another 50 years maybe 100. I think right now we stand at a 50/50 mix of the two with things trending towards science. That is why the pope is still around but is an insignificant person on the world stage except to Christians.

I don't like religious headgear. It is like wearing a sports uniform and going out to compete on the pitch. It is an overt statement of allegiance to a group coupled with a subcoinscious bias and maybe more precisely a desire to destroy or quelch anyone that opposes you. Religious dress worn as everyday attire is an agressive statement no matter how innocous it may seem. Why does one wear religious dress instead of the common fashion of the time. Of course in previous time it may have been the common fashion but not anymore. The various esoteric reasons for wearing religious dress hold as much weight as the reason jeans seem to never go out of style. I don't know why some choose to wear that stuff and are mad when people have strong reactions to it. It is agressive to wear such clothing so don't be surprised when you get an agressive response. I do like the sikh turban though I find that quite stylish.

With that said I think it mainly applies to young people. With older generations I'll give them the benifits of the doubt. But to see young people roped into such nonsense and defend it vehemetly is sad. It is not even worth argueing over.
