Gods Are Terrorists

Man has created gods since we first started to think.  Fear was the driving force.  What was behind the quaking earth?  What caused lightning to kill a loved one?  What did he do to deserve instant death?  Floods, wars, land slides, and, of course, vicious animals to deal with. 

An earthquake?  Must be an angry god!  Lightning?  What did my mate do to anger the sky god?  There have been over 3,000 gods throughout human history and not one has physically appeared.  No one has personally seen a god.

For centuries, ‘holy’ men have attempted to control tribes, congregations and whole countries with their ‘divine’ messages.  Humanity, when kept in ignorance, follows like sheep.  The early Christian god, if their holy book is accurate, killed thousands of his creations and even more in the great flood.  Condoning slavery, rape, murder and incest, this god is responsible for wars, cruelty and betrayal since its creation.

Then, it was witch-hunts and the Inquisition. The Dark Ages were a product of religion where it was illegal to own a copy of the Bible unless you were an approved ‘holy’ man.

A human being worshipped as a god in Japan didn’t help us grow.  And now it’s the Islam menace.

Religion is a parasite on humanity.  It sucks the ability to learn while instilling guilt and shame into its worshippers.  It feeds on fear and self-loathing.  It MUST be eliminated!

Education and understanding are beginning to make inroads into the darkness.  Religion is losing its hold on the human mind.  Humanity has the chance to finally fulfill its promise and, if the statistics hold true, the next generations of Americans are beginning to throw Christianity on the trash heap of all the prior myths.  Today’s gods are tomorrow’s myths. It’s said that the internet is the place where religions go to die.  I certainly hope that’s so.

Here’s the benefit.  IF we can finally put all gods behind us, we have a chance to make the planet as close to a Garden of Eden that is possible.

Let’s rid ourselves of these imaginary terrorists.
