Religious Apes

I wrote this following the terrible terrorist attacks in Paris. I express my solidarity with all people who stand for tolerance and freedom.

 

People love a cause. They want to believe.

These terrorists are fundamentalists. They believe there is a god, there is a paradise and that every word that Mohamed wrote is true and to be enforced verbatim.

They believe that if they martyr themselves they will wake up in heaven.

They want to die.

They want to return the whole world to the order and systems laid down by Mohamed in the seventh century.

They wish to kill huge numbers of people – more than Hitler ever dreamt of. These include all apostates – The Shia, Yazidi, etc. then Jews, atheists and Christians (who do not convert or subjugate themselves). What their plans for Buddhists, Hindu’s and other religions is probably death as unbelievers.

They are instructed to kill apostates, enslave young girls for sex, to kill kuffars and establish Sharia law. Takfiri is a medieval doctrine that calls for true Muslims to ‘cleanse’ the world. It is a primitive and evil, intolerant doctrine.

There is no reason or morality involved.

To that end they are setting out to battle humanity.

But they do not care that they cannot win.

They want to die.

They believe that their establishment of a Caliphate will bring forward the ‘end of day’. The apocalypse will culminate God’s will.

The black and white, total doctrine appeals to those who crave to believe.

Most religious people are tolerant, caring, moral people. Fundamentalists are irrational, extreme and psychotic.

The gullibility of humans never ceases to amaze me.

 

Religious apes

Religious apes,

Ignorant and hate filled.

Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Jew,

The fruits are the same

Just a different

Chosen few.

It is not hard

To conceive

Why I don’t

Believe.
