Religion and religious nutcases will always be one of the major hindrances to the advancement of the human race.
Sure, I could understand the need for religion five to ten thousand years ago when the human brain was able to observe so many “miracles” in the world but couldn’t understand these “miracles”.
Having an imaginary friend to explain away these miracles would have keep our species from going insane.
Sadly, the human race finds itself at a cross roads. A cross roads where modern technology helps charlatans spread the bullshit mythology of the past as if it holds some value in the present.
Religious bullshit is being used to strip away the rights of women in America.
Religious bullshit is being used to sweep in a new era of white supremacy in America.
Religious bullshit is being used to deny the rights of the GLBTQ in America.
Religious bullshit is being used by the religious minority to force the “teachings” of their imaginary friends upon the majority.
And Canada is not immune to this religious nonsense.
The American religious right and the American evangelicals funnel dark money and grey money into Canada in an effort to upend our political systems in an effort to hang on to their bigotry under the guise of religious freedom.
And it’s that interference which led the the Liberal Party of Canada, specifically Ajax MP, Mark Holland, the Minister of Health, backing away from the requirement to provide Medical Assistance in Dying for those suffering from mental health issues.
It’s quite alarming to see t Justin Trudeau, Mark Holland, Hedy Fry, and the rest of the Liberal Party of Canada bend a knee and grovel at the feet of the religiously unhinged in this country.
If you’re religious, and if you believe in the imaginary friend in the sky, and you don’t like the idea of M.A.i.D., don’t get M.A.i.D.. Pretty simple concept.
Does this alter my time of death?
No.
I’m still aiming for late 2024 early 2025.
This just means that now I have to treat this as a D.I.Y. project, or that I have to go to a jurisdiction in the world that allows M.A.i.D. for mental illness.
