Religion and Humanity

Image
The question was: Why choose religion over humanity? How can people kill in the name of religion? I was thinking, the last place you would find Jesus is in a church. Jesus: "Love each other as I have loved you." Lao Tzu: When the Tao is lost there is goodness When goodness is lost there is morality When morality is lost there is ritual,  (My thought, i.e. religion) Ritual is the husk of true faith_ The beginning of chaos Donovan: "Riki Tiki Tavi." "When I was a young man I was led to believe that there were organizations to kill my snakes for me, i.e. the church, i.e. the government But when I got a little older I learned I had to kill them myself." h https://youtu.be/TY7Rxae4pjU John Lennon: Working Class Hero. " (They)Keep you doped with religion, sex, and tv."  https://youtu.be/iMewtlmkV6c Imagine..."nothing to kill or die for And no religion too." https://youtu.be/YkgkThdzX-8 All you need is Love: https...

The A-Bomb and the American Psyche

The A-Bomb and the American Psyche The question was posed on another website, "Why didnt the U.S. just loot and plunder after WW2"? There were a lot of intelligence answers pertaining to economics and politics of the U.S. and the world. These were my thoughts on what's going on underneath it all. We as a nation know up close and personal what Nuclear War does, from the attackers perspective, having blotted out 146,000 plus people in the blink of an eye at Hiroshima and 90,000 plus people in Nagasaki. We have that woven into our fiber, our collective consciousness, whether we ever think about it or not, because enough people, (at least at one time), witnessed these atrocities first hand or we lived through the events. Below is a video made of interviews of our  Veterans who did witness nuclear testing in years after the war.  Self-described guinea pigs, they were silenced by the government for 50 years. Thank God there are still enough alive to bear witness. Thei...

FGM/C Protect Girls at Risk

FGM/C Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting This is a sad and horrific traditional cultural ritual. The Office on Women's Health, (OWH) was started in 1992. It is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Services has extensive information about Female genital mutilation and cutting, (FGM/C), and also a hot line 1-800-994-9662 to call to get immediate help and assistance. Some of the horrendous facts are as many as 140 million girls and women have been cut, that are alive today, world wide. And shockingly 513,000 women and girls in the U.S. of immigrant families. The "alive today," is a key phrase because this multiation, besides causing horrendous pain, and physical and psychological health problem, it also causes death in many cases. It's sometimes called Male circumcision. It is not the same at all. It is wholesale mutilation that is done to prepare the girl to be acceptable for her husband, considered a necessity for proper integration into society. F...
