According to history, there is no doubt that when religious politicians have preached that their religion is the only one that "God" recommends, it is an outright lie! Think. When one religion has been pushing its own rival, conflicting message on a bully pulpit ever since the beginning of law religions–three related ones–wars has increased with ferocity–a circle of fire!
Dear Ones,
In cyber time when we all know the world–the only one we are conscious of–is inhabited by people by multifolds having different faiths and views, it's only logical that the Great Commission caused an endless upheaval of serial crimes called wars. And in order to keep this programmed race going, more and more devastation to kill one another is constantly being invented–from slingshots and stones to radioactive missiles and child-deforming genocide–all to proselytize by force or daily conditioning.
What will it take to open our eyes and see war mongers for what they really are. We complain and rant and rave over radical religions, when our own religions have all experienced cut-throat evils of every kind, starting with the Inquisition that was meant to torture infidels–people who want to believe what their minds tell them instead of being forced into converting to one persuasion.
The first religious cross bearers in America are the KuKluxKlan, a "white" clan imagining they are supreme –who carry out their terrorism of archaic burning. So-called heathens have suffered from these atrocities since their religion. in cahoots with government, didn't believe in spilling blood. So the head honchos began to hang and torture to get their way. The other two branches of the same ancient religion, are copycats–all praying for the destruction of one another–as we pray to win wars. Obviously, it's not really peace we want.
As a result Earth is being exploded with constant conflagration, what is also warming our environment, the air and the seas with nuclear waste and outdated nuclear submarines dumped into them–even six H-bombs, with one being dropped accidentally in Spain. On the border of Somalia men have turned into pirates to protect their land and its people from this waste, transparent lethal action against other nations.
Law religions have been the bane of the world, because their bully leaders preach that their faiths are the only good ones, as Earth keeps moving throughout space. We need to fantasize ourselves as astronauts looking into a vaporous atmosphere at the third boulder from the sun, the only inhabited planet we know.
Within that infinity of the endless cosmos we cannot help but realize we are not alone. And all other beings out there have no idea about the great array of religions that Earthlings use to continue to fight among themselves. They must look at Earth in wonder over continuous chemical explosions and wild fires going on to destroy the inhabitants and all forms of life. It's not the sheep who follow, but their bully leaders who are responsible–as they wear robes of hypocritical innocence fogged by incense.
We need to open our minds and see a new view of ourselves. Perhaps in this new year there will be more circumspection. As Alexander Pope wrote, "Hope springs eternal."
