The horror in this world is not about the difference between good and evil. On the contrary, it is about the conflict between one evil against another evil - the two great religions of the world known as Christianity and Islam. Each have not ceased hating and killing the other for the glory of God on the one side; and, on the other side, for the glory of Allah. And to think that both these evils came from the womb of mother religion – Judaism – that gave birth to Christianity and Islam.
For my part, I am proud to be an atheist. No one has ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists because they refuse to believe, love, worship, and adore God.
Take a good look at Osama Bin Laden. He invoked God when he directed his hijacked suicide airliners into the world Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001.
Take a good look at President George W. Bush. He invoked God when he unleashed his missiles and bombers on the people of Iraq.
Take a good look at the Palestinians. They too invoked God when they strapped dynamite to their waste and boarded a crowded bus or entered a public restaurant in Israel to destroy themselves and anyone else who happened to be near.
Take a good look at the Jews in Israel. They invoked God
As they sent their tanks into the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to knock down houses that were thought to provide shelter to their enemies.
Take a good look at the Catholics and the Protestants. They invoked God as they killed each other in Ireland, the last gasp of a dying fury that spawned a thirty-year religious war and in 1588 propelled the Spanish Armada to a watery grave as it sought to win back Protestant England for the Vatican.
Take a good look at the priesthood industry. They invoked God when they violate and abuse little children who have been trusted to their care. It gets worse as the superiors of these priests – bishops, the archbishops, the cardinals – also invoked God when they acted to cover up these violent crimes and protect the victimizers and ultimately themselves rather then the victims.
Take a good look at the religious morons of today. They tell me that I hold not the right premise on how one should take a good look in the existence of a kind and loving God! Poch Suzara
