Good day all !
I have had no response from the previous entry, and not that I am writing this blog for public viewing, one or two would be encouraging.
None the less, I continue on, typing as I think.
Religious people... for the most part.. worry me.
Not that I feel I am in danger, although that is certainly possible and definitely known to have happened to many, rather, I am worried that the longer the mis interpretations continue to invade our society, the more likely it is that we will destroy all the differences that make us the human race.
Imagine the entire planet filled with only christians, or jews, or muslims, and "god forbid"only mormons ! <, that was just a joke :) It would be nice ? Yes? No conflicts, no religious wars, no one guessing which is the "true religion or true god"! There would be no middle east problems, no 9/11's, no jihad, and of course no homosexuals!! What a wonderful world this would be! Yes? Well, to any christian that may reading this... even though you are saying, "yes praise god! It would indeed be a wonderful world!", remember that, at some point, you will bring a homosexual into the world, or an atheist, or a political decenter. Will you put them to death? Perhaps, even worse, tell them they are sinners and have them feel the "wraith of god" through guilt and public torment? My guess is that you would choose the latter. After all, "thou shalt not kill" is one of the most widely known of the ten commandments, but "thou shalt lie to make someone feel shame and guilt" I don't think is even listed !!
It is so clear to me, that ALL of the religions on this planet and the gods they describe are false, filled with more lies than truths, designed only to control the population.
I express again, my great disappointment, that no one has been able to break free of this all and develop the ability to teach people to see clearly. Instead we continually breed bigots and zealots, born of the very religions that deny these traits, but support them because of the limited minds of those within, and because of the power and money they desire.
Is it wrong to kill? Of course it is, and you don't need a god to tell you that. You only need a sound mind. Interesting though, everyone of the world's religions specifically say it is wrong to kill, yet how many murders have been committed in the name of "god"?
Please, understand that religion is not the only thing I think about during the course of a day, but it is one of the things that is at the core of our lives, our politics, our values, our morals, yes... and unfortunately our sexual tastes.
I am rambling, I'm sure.
I will end this entry with the same quote I made in the last;
Religions are the haven for the insecure, and the holy grail for the bigot!
