Was talking to my friend - or at least thought was my friend - the other day & he coolly informs me that unless i am a christian, me and my loved ones are going to hell and then he smiles and says - I am praying for you - as if he was doing me a favor! This guy with an advanced degree and experienced person - at least above 40 - thinks i will be thanking him when all i can think of giving him a swift kick you-know-where
How to explain this? How is it that educated, intelligenct adults are so quick and ready to throw the rest of humanity - women, children, babies, grandmothers - under the bus so callously, so easily? At least when a whore or a drug dealer loses her or his morals, they do it because of cold,hard cash - what do these guys get? Just a nice easy breezy promise of the easy life in heaven! How is it that intelligent educated persons cannot see thru these easy promises - any fool can promise the moon - a proselytizing religion making an easy promise of heaven just by joining a religion? wow! shocker! Of course they are going to make that promise - they want you to join the religion - these are carrot & stick religions - the carrot of heaven and the stick of hell used liberally - Heaven is the longest running and biggest Ponzi Scheme ever
As i have posted before, Heaven is a metaphor for childhood - a time when we had no cares, happy, played all day and were protected and sheltered. Does not even one person of these millions of believers ever wonder that Heaven sounds a bit too good to be true? You get the good life just because you joined a religion - works don't matter - if works don't matter then life doesn't matter? So then what is this Grand plan they keep talking about? Sit on our collective butts in heaven and take it easy? That is the grand plan?
And offering the easy life is all it takes for you to lose all your humanity, principles and ethics? You lose sight of the fact that these are people, human beings with loved ones, hopes and desires? There are freedom fighters here, people who have given their lives for their country, gave their lives while saving others - all that means nothing to your God? Just religion? No, this is not God saying but a religion shamelessly using God, using threats & unbelievably millions of highly educated can't see thru that!
It becomes a state under Hitler - the Nazis didn't care whether the jew was young or old, man or child, whether the person was a piller of the community, a person who helped the state become better - being a jew was a crime and you must now be sent to Gas chambers. The same sick ideas are being played here by so-called intelligent, educated people and to their own freinds! wow!
All one can do is step back and stare open-mouthed at the power of religion - that it can brainwash at will good, honest people and has done throughout the centuries - for you ever heard a christian or muslim express the thought that setting people apart by religion was wrong? Inhuman?
