No Religion is the New Religion

Governments are actually useless. If they were so effective, humankind would have progressed far by now.  Money has stifled genius, creativity, innovation & progress. Religion has done worse.  Only fools fail to see it.

Were it not for the objective & observational intelligence of men & women over the centuries, religion would have loved to keep everyone still in the Dark Ages where those in religious power are in total control.

Expecting the older generation to die out together with their antiquated beliefs, is expecting nothing because they have insidiously ensured they contaminated their offspring with their beliefs & practices. Therefore, it will go on. Generation after generation.

A country can be almost 100% literate with internet connection & the latest gizmos, & still be stuck in a circle of uneducated religious practices that are damaging to their own health.

Incense and joss papers are cheaply made in China, Taiwan, Malaysia. The paint that is used & the materials that go into making the paper, contain substances that are possibly carcinogenic. When these things are burnt, the chemicals are released. Take a breath & feel religious.

We have, on the one hand, a country that shuts down electricity for a certain amount of time during "Earth Day" & prides itself on being environmentally conscious.  And on the other hand, the same country allows the burning of such materials that release toxins into the air.

Individuals who value their lives & their clean air, have a right to protest.  But such protests typically done in good citizen fashion have no weight in an environment where the authorities are not on anyone's side except their own.

If you're tired of being a good citizen as I am, there are of course many things or at least a few, that you can do.

Creatively & tastefully done, graffiti can look very nice across the fascade of a mosque or church. Adding color to very drab religious crap, is the best thing a human being can do.

There are no spiritual repercussions. The idea of spiritual or heavenly consequence is man-made, fabricated to make people pretend to be good. In fact, pretending to be good only makes people worse. Fact is, religious people watch more porn than non-religious persons.

As for Joss paper bins, I have seen an older Chinese man throw his trash into it.  I've seen umbrellas sticking out of them as well. So, obviously, I'm not the only one who gives "no respect" to such things.

Hypothetically speaking, if a person is burning something at a bin, just pour water from the top down. Ice cold water or syrup water.  The goal is to drench everything but nobody is to get hurt because then it'll be a nuisance.

Then there's of course the very nice option of knocking down all bins with your foot or something worse.  Brings to mind American boys whacking off mailboxes with a bat while zipping down a lane in a car.

If the above methods sound all too mild & isn't enough for your satisfaction,  you can do more that you can get away with.
