Comparative Religion 101: USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar -- evil snakes in the Garden of Eden?
Face it, guys, religions are basically just teaching tools. "So what
exactly are they supposed to teach us?" you might ask. They are
supposed to teach us how to be good.
But then we have rogue states who use religions to do bad.
Take America for instance. Who ever heard of a good Christian nation
that would sanction torture, fight like the Devil himself for the
freedom to slaughter as many civilians in the Middle East as humanly
possible, advocate racism, steal from the poor in order to give to the
rich and tear babies from their mothers just because said babies were
brown instead of white? "America, America, God shed His grace on
thee..." Er, no. God does not approve this message. Not at all. https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-troop-count-in-syria-jumps-by-50-percent-since-trumps-withdrawal-announcement/254681/
Colin Kaepernick, even though he's only yesterday's news cycle (yawn),
is probably one of the last true Christians in America today.
Kaepernick was right to take a knee in the face of all this American
barbarism. Jesus woulda taken a knee too! Bad, bad, bad.
And then we come to Myanmar. American hearts bleed for the poor Rohingya
Muslims who are systematically being slaughtered there. And yet
Myanmar is a Buddhist state. "Hey, Buddha, when did you ever teach that
sort of stuff?" Er, uh, never. Yet another prime example of using a
good religion to do bad.
Not to mention the notorious Zionist Israelis, busy giving Judaism a very
bad name. Slaughter in Gaza. Injustice in the Occupied Territories.
Prison camps, torture, propaganda. "Come visit lovely Jerusalem," the
TV ads tell us -- unless you are Palestinian of course. Palestinians
only have bad things happen to them there. No pretty girls on beaches
for them. https://mondoweiss.net/2019/02/settlements-alienated-eizenstat/
Dontcha just wish that we too were worth one-point-three million bucks each to Congress!
Zionists get approximately eight billion dollars from the United States
every year in order to protect Zionists from Palestinians. That means
that each and every live Palestinian is worth at least
one-point-three million dollars to Zionists -- especially if said
Palestinians dare to sass back. So why commit genocide against these
Occupied geese who are laying such golden eggs?
And here's another one of the worst offenders. Didn't Mohammad (PBUH)
tell the Saudis to respect and protect other Muslims? The Prophet
never, ever said anything about making an exception for Yemenis,
Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, Libyans, Iraqis -- or any Muslim who has
the nerve to crave just a little bit of democracy in The Kingdom.
Mohammad (PBUH) never, ever said, "Off with their heads!" Definitely
breaking bad in Saudi Arabia these days.
Comparative religions 101? What have we learned? That many state
religions can (and do) lead us down the garden path to corruption,
sadism, greed and stupidity in God's name -- if we are not vigilant.
And apparently nobody has been vigilant in America, Saudi Arabia, Israel
or Myanmar for a very long time.
God must be very pissed off.
Assuming that there even actually is a God.
But if there really is one, then He is as guilty as the rest of us for
not smiting down all this hypocrisy and all this other just plain evil
stuff done in His name. The Golden Calf is clearly running the show
these days.
But the story doesn't have to end here. We ourselves can simply ignore
the bad guys who have seized our temples, mosques, synagogues, pulpits
and pews. We can pray on our own freaking knees, take our own religions
to heart and become good Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists or
whatever instead -- all by ourselves. Hell, we can even be atheists --
as long as we work to do what religions were invented to do.
