By clicking the the ‘Rick Santorum‘ tag under this post, you’ll find various additional pieces and infographics that suggest the aforementioned monster is running hot to capture the title of “Worst Human Being on Earth.”
Those posts were created when Rick Santorum was nothing more than a creepy also-ran in the psycho sitcom that is the Republican presidential campaign. Now that he’s exploiting the religious terror of complete idiots and running on a campaign of fear and hatred, he’s morphed into something a bit more devious than comic foil.
That smug charlatan is a fucking supervillain.
LOL. “God works in mysterious ways” is how they justify it.
It is far easier for the mind to latch on to the hope that there is some greater power that controls our destiny and has a plan for us in an eternal afterlife than it is to accept that we are ephemeral creatures on this earth who have a brief opportunity to exist. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people not because of some grand plan, but sometimes because of the forces of sheer chance and probability.In my mind, the idea that I am here at all, experiencing the life I am is reason enough to be happy. I am going to die at some point, but that is something I neither fear nor lament. It is just the way of things. I need no promise of a paradise if I am good or a hell if I am bad to guide my life. The evolutionarily selected feelings of empathy and compassion created by the neurons in my brain are enough to guide me as to what is right or wrong, regardless of some divine consequence.
