Dick Freehand on Facts. Data. Evidence.

The world is insane. Far too much unnecessary stupidity, leading to far too much destruction. And when I say “the world,” it is obvious that˙ I mean people, Anything else that might be included in “the world” is not so stupid or bad. I mean, the occasional hungry predator animal chows down on some lesser victim marginalized by the herd, but really that’s the exception to the generally peaceful rule-not unlike the native Americans before Columbus the Evil came and mauled them in the name of Christendom. So because of this world I live in-that is, other people-my life is a constant courageous search for truth.

Facts. Data. Evidence. That is why I trust only in science to inform me. There is nothing I believe that cannot be proven scientifically. Columbus of course was a scientific ignoramus. How could it have been otherwise? I mean, back in 1492, they did not know about evolution, or even washing your hands before you cut into someone for their own medical health. That’s what the sex-binary Christian conservatives want to take us back to, with all their capitalism and fascism and electing felons who lead their idiot followers to insurrection just because they lost the most fair election in history. Those are facts, all documented if you take the time to look them up. That’s what I do. I look things up. My beliefs have the backing of Facts. Data. Evidence. No “faith” needed.

If there was ever some new evidence that seemed contradictory to one of my facts, then I would modify my beliefs. But the previous belief, possibly corrected by new evidence, was not a matter of “faith.” It was Truth. My truth, because it was the Truth of all intelligent, educated, modern science-minded thinkers, which is, sadly, a very small minority of the world’s population. The rest are just wandering out there, enslaved to their capitalist overlords, putting their faith in their sky God that doesn’t exist, who sits up in a “heaven” no one has ever seen. Where’s the evidence? No thinking person has ever seen any. And so, with their hungry greed, their doctors cut into you with unwashed hands, then go home to their obedient wives and their two and a half kids in their home in suburbia, voting for people who are just like them but more skilled at manipulating the herd. Columbus, the Salem Witch Trials, the Crusades, Zionism, corporate greed, racism, sexism. How can they not see how it’s all connected?

Do you see? I haven’t heard any sound evidence to the contrary. Don’t interrupt me, I’m not finished yet. I’m just getting started…
