The Roman Catholic Inquisition under monk Dominic at the order of Pope Innocent III lasted from 1233 until the 1900s. It is still operating under a euphemistic term for "Holy" Office of censorship. 1n 1814 Napoleon banned French religionist thugs punishing unbelievers and stealing their property for the church, as it also did to confiscate gold from First Native Americans. But a few years later the Inquisition was active again.
Dear Ones,
The Roman Catholic Church imprisoned so many people who would not confirm to church dogmas that there was not enough room to incarcerate them. So the church and state working in cahoots with one another burned over 2000 innocent people alive! Anyone not aware of world history has no clue about the danger of rapid religion. The present Tea Party is reverting back to medieval mindsets and poses new threats of breaking constitutional rule of an iron wall between church and state. Once the camel gets its nose into the tent, it's in like Flynn.
Besides the bloody Crusades and the cross-bearing Inquisition the absolutist, proselytizing church for nine centuries actively forced terrorism on innocent people. This punishment included stretching to death heretics, what meant unbelievers, as well as burning them alive at the stake. Even Michael Servetus died this way, a scientist and scholar who improved pulmonary medical advances. This subhuman evil was committed at the order of John Calvin, a Protestant protestor against the radical extremist Catholic Church
When Catholic Spain got into the business of ruthless brutality the king and queen threw out all Jews from their nation. At this time when they sent Christopher Columbus around the world for a new trade route, the Inquisition became even more sinister by exterminating Hebrew people as they also banned them from Spain. At that time the rallying cry of Christians was, "Jews killed our God."
Religion is independent of reason, thinking and common sense.
"A divorce between church and state should be absolute."–President James Garfield

THE PROPHETS OF OLD TRUMPED NO COMMAND TO GO TO WAR
The most egregious world problem resulted from the dilemma of color-coding humanity, now left with a checkered history of ruthless, brutal wars ever since Caucasians believed they were the "chosen people of God." In turn nation's historically themselves believed each one was chosen by their personal deity because they originally didn't know each other existed, before there were maps.
Dear Ones,
In 1950 The 20th Century Encyclopedia included this definition of Caucasian that takes in "the so-called" white race originally believed to have lived in Europe, southwestern Asia and northern Africa, before there was knowledge about the Americas and other lands.
"Caucasian is a term introduced into ethnology by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in the late 1770s. His classification of mankind was applied to one of the five great races into which all the different nations of the world are divided. Blumenbach believed Caucasian was the original race from which the others were derived. This charlatan gave his caste system the epithet of Caucasian perfection–mountaineer inhabitants [Russians]. His classification was later divided into Aryan or Indo-European and Semitic languages, the latter also involving three related religions based on the Hebrew Bible.
Blumenbach was also the German inventor of these bogus races (originally species by Carlos Linnaeus), the former who separated man into rival sport colors–black, red, white and yellow–the Father of Race who influenced Hitler and Nazi Germany to scheme the monstrous inhumane Holocaust during WWII.
We have abolished the redskins and the yellow skins, but we have a big problem shaking off "blacks and whites"–especially since the adjective black mostly means the negative–why Caucasians obsess to keep them at the bottom of the competitive color pyramid that also is influenced by religion.
"The time has come to knock off this religion business in American politics. There's no end to the mischief that can occur."–Senator Lowell Weicker

I MOURN THE DEMISE OF BASSEL SHAHADE FIMAKER KILLED BY A SNIPER & ALL PEOPLE BRINGING AIDE TO SYRIA
Without dwelling on mad, evil machinations of political power, it's so sad that army and local snipers kill thousands of protesting citizens and innocent children under one regime.
Dear Ones,
It's the same old same old–three related law religions killing one another at the command of their deities whom they only imagine. When the Roman Empire worshiped mythological gods and goddesses the people never fought over their universal lords.
But ever since worship was broken down to one god, each nation or groups of people put their own choice up on a throne as the absolute one. And we all know how absolutism corrupts absolutely.
The New Testament was written and influenced by Hebrew Paul of Tarsus (now Turkey). His Middle Eastern God became the only one in his eyes. The Great Commission was written in his time that commanded everyone to proselytize at the threat of death–as they suffered stretch machines, burned alive at the stake or beheaded as Roman emperors displayed the dripping, bloody heads on stakes along the Apian Way for all to see and obey.
However, we forget our own religious history and look aghast as others mimic the Pauline Inquisition and its brutal criminal court that didn't know the meaning of justice.
"As you know, the Inquisition is an admirable and wholly Christian invention to make the pope and the monks more powerful and turn a whole kingdom into hypocrites."–Voltaire, the world's greatest historian satirist in his times."
I re-read this quotation after watching on TV the House of Representatives speaker pray to his god to honor him in heaven. So where's the separation of church and state?

NO GOD DIVIDED HUMANITY INTO RIVAL COLORS–THIS WAS MAN'S FOLLY
I have a goal. To abolish the affliction of divisive color-coding that ends up in religious racial snarling wars of violence and terrorism. You say that can't be done. That's what they said about slavery in America.
Dear Ones,
The father of race, German, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, used Carlos Linnaeus' classification of species and turned them into physical profiling through colors in the late 1770s.
Ever since then religious racial wars have became manifold, with more conquest for power, greed and control than ever before as varied sectarian religions and their dogmas are as many as there are people with their own convictions.
This separation of human beings influenced Hitler and Nazi Germany in attempting to be the master race. He invented a hierarchy of a caste system that Caucasians and Indo-Europeans ran with and ended up in the horrible, Holocaust–a genocidal serial crime against humanity as toxic military munitions and non-depleted uranium weapons are outlawed by International Law, but not enforced.
No wonder why world wars are endless as they smolder and fire up annually.
"Half the wars of Europe, half he internal troubles that have vexed European States . . . have arisin theological differences or from the rival claims of church and state."–The American Commonwealth, 1888
Now add the additional terrorism of Muslim and Jewish wars of more recent eras with all the slaughter.

IN DENOUNCING MUSLIM MEN WANTING WOMEN SHROUDED DON'T FORGET THE CHIRSTIAN CONCEPT OF DRESSING NUNS, HEAD TO TOE, IN BLACK
It's so easy to criticize other religions when one's own persuasion is similar as to intent regarding extremist behavior against women in a paternalistic world. It was biblical Paul of Tarsus from Asia Minor (now Turkey) who said that women must cover their hair or have it shaven, as some authors write against "strangled, twisted hair" to keep the devil out.
Dear Ones,
The three Semitic related religions of the Middle East that base their faith on the Hebrew Bible have for centuries held women in low esteem, even though their mothers are the ones who went through labor to give them birth.
During the US Civil War, no women were permitted to join the military. Over four hundred women disguised themselves as men and marched along with their husbands into combat. However, female spies were in abundance.
Even in recent years, compared to ancient times, my aunt had to sign a contract that any money she eared as a teacher and later a principal, must be turned over to her husband or brother. In addition, she could not get married as long as she held that position.
So as we condemn others for unequal rights between the genders, we must remember our own histories as women have always lived in a world dominated by men. My grandmother couldn't vote and my mother just made it under the line to cast her ballot.

THE WORLD PRAYS FOR PEACE BUT COMMITS TERRORISM OF WAR–PRESIDENT OBAMA'S GOAL IS TO WEAN US OFF DEEPLY INGRAINED VIOLENCE
Instead of seriously asking for peace from an unseen force, lips have quivered for war for untold thousands of years. Team work is desperately needed for international harmony through diplomacy. Deliberate communication is safer than using violence to fight violence that fuels an endless religious circle of fire and revenge. International law and order is supposed to control man's thirst for bloodshed, but it fails to enforce its own laws.
Dear Ones,
Right now we can't see the forest fires for the burning trees. What the capricious military defends best is its force of power through genetically child-deforming toxic chemicals and radioactive missiles. Because these weapons are now all genocidal they have been outlawed through International Law and its Criminal Court. But who really cares?
When any nation stores atomic bombs they threaten to use them, the biggest folly of man. And when man threatens to annihilate nations they have the capacity to do it–even though it's the worse crime against Earth and its people and would be condemned as war criminals.
Japan has learned the harshest military decision against them–actually a last minute plan to test US monstrous expensive weapons on humanity. Not only were genocidal bombs dropped on millions of people and animals, but their nuclear energy system was destroyed by a tsunamie as earthquakes, too, occur often from explosive wars that also increase drastic weather.
The rest of the world has never experienced these deplorable, excruciating experiences as US goading Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor, thus threatening the lives of seamen, with 2,575 killed to justify the United States entering into WWII December 7, 1941–a day of infamy for America and later for Japan. The night before Japan bombed Hawaii President F.D. Roosevelt and his top advisers waited in Washington for the attack they expected from their drastic actions against Japan.
We now know the chief of the armed forces calculated, manipulated and threatened Japan to attack, an eight-step plan that would plunge the United States into war against Japan and Hitler's forces, what the president masterminded with numerous documents later destroyed. The excuse was that Japan was wanting more control of their own economy and trade, as the US and China forced an embargo against Japan's need for oil that was quintessential for their survival. In recent months Japan declared their nation completely nuclear free as they enter into an era of creative alternative energy.
We human beings don't have to learn from wretched experiences, but unfortunately when one disaster strikes over and over again, we become wiser and better people. Instead of taking revenge with more bombs and weapons in counter attacks, the Japanese government and its people decided to improve technology, progress and have a happier life style.

MAN'S FIRST RELIGION, FEAR AND SUPPERSTITION, STILL PERSISTS IN BLOODY SACRIFICES OF YOUTHS TO APPEASE WARRIOR GODS
Man has always been robotic, still comfortable with rituals drinking human blood and even today symbolically eating bodies of man-made gods, too. Savage sacrifice involved first man ripping out enemy heart's still beating for what primitives imagined as strength and courage as rural fields ooze with blood.
Dear Ones,
The movie American Sniper graphically depicts war as it is, the real truth about endless savage revenge fomenting in vicious terrorism and violence. Originally the slaughter of humans and animals was committed on battlefield alters, but now the carnage takes place on streets where people shop and do business as children play. Urban battles are violation against international Law that the world military ignores. This rule should be enforced through law and order. But leaders in charge turn a blind eye.
Fundamentalist man, short for human, still is entangled in his umbilical cord. The last US president felt he had to be born again to erase the original sin–natural procreation between the two genders, a bogus offense made up by archaic men. In his god's name he committed illegal invasion, attack and occupation of secular Iraq than also involved Afghanistan–with millions of lives lost through genocide of modern toxic child-deforming, genetic wars, also contaminating the environment–all international war crimes.
Most fundamental leaders ignore the advice of Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who warned that the industrial military complex will take over the world. We have regressed way beyond this point of corruption as depicted graphically under Clint Eastwood's direction in American Sniper. The only ones having monetary gains are corporate munition and weaponry companies, as the rest of the world suffers and are slaves in the name of wealth–what this movie portrayed violently.
Some authoritarians have gained what they believe is the untimate goal but have losst their souls to green, power and control.
"Religious conflict can be the bloodiest and cruelest conflicts that turn people into fanatics."–Justice William J. Brennan
