The fanatic with no doubt
If it is written it must be true. It justifies everything.
All you have to do is select the correct texts.
With a little effort you can justify anything.
It is written down. It must be true.
It gives sanction to your every whim, every hidden urge.
It frees the psychotic to act.
How they flood to become involved, to get a slice of the action.
Public executions were ever most popular. The more agony the better.
There is a part of us that delights in the pain of others. If it wasn’t so we would not have invented bear-baiting, cock-fighting, badger-baiting, hare-coursing and snuff movies.
We are a cruel species.
We have a lot of civilizing to go through.
We find it so easy to justify our baser instincts. We wrap them up in religion, sport and entertainment.
What we love are screams and blood.
We have a lot to do to become more humane.
But if it is written it must be true!
I want a better world for my children. One that is less savage, less hating, more empathic and with much more love, peace and kindness.
Less fanatics would be a good start. Doubt is good.
The fanatic with no doubt
Line them up
Shoot them in the head.
Lie them down
Shoot them in the back.
Kneel them down
Saw through their throats.
Put them in a cage
Burn them.
If they are young
Rape them.
If they are old
Bury them alive.
There is no doubt.
It is written.
