The thing about fundamentalist ideology is that if you are willing to put your ideology above the authentic evidence before your very own eyes, you get something back from that ideology – the feeling that you live in a world that somehow makes sense, even if that sense isn’t based on reality.

The pull of a convincing story about how the world IS trumps the understanding of how the world really IS, every single time.

Causality and the perception of time
[Does our perception of when an event occurs depend on whether we caused it? A recent study suggests that when we perceive our actions to cause an event, it seems to occur earlier than if we did not cause it.]

Conscious intention and motor cognition
[The subjective experience of conscious intention is a key component of our mental life. Philosophers studying ‘conscious free will’ have discussed whether conscious intentions could cause actions, but modern neuroscience rejects this idea of mind–body causation. Instead, recent findings suggest that the conscious experience of intending to act arises from preparation for action in frontal and parietal brain areas. Intentional actions also involve a strong sense of agency, a sense of controlling events in the external world. Both intention and agency result from the brain processes for predictive motor control, not merely from retrospective inference.]

From the beautiful coats of calico cats and the sleek curves of dolphins……to the zany patterns of zebras, animals live their lives with natural fashion.

Naked humans, on the other hand, are bland and unfashionable.

So people copy animals and wear outer coverings filled with vibrant colors, textures and patterns.

We drive, live in, or use objects that are highly stylized and colorful.

We constantly seek out newly designed patterns and colors to boost our fashion-less egos.

The ‘Creator’ must not want us to be fashionable or we would be born with fashion.

Since it’s sinful to do anything our ‘Creator’ does prefer us to do, fashion is sinful.

WE must come to realize that the growth of the fashion industry is wrecking the social fabric and moral infrastructure of our modern world, leading us down a path of condemnation and destruction.

I’m clueless to why the government doesn’t have an anti-fashion agency or a WAR ON FASHION, for I really cherish washing my hands free of that green paper filth some call tax dollars.

Fashion is an evil thing and everyone should stop being fashionable, cause the bible tells you so.

Now go get naked!
