Some of the most despicable actions between followers of tribal Gods to others of the same species have caused me to believe that it is all a simple justification of cruelty to mankind. From the beginning of recorded time, we have seen atrocities between tribes that are based on which God they worship, what color they are and which language they speak.
It has caused the people on this planet to attempt to outbreed each other simply to win whatever wars are started by our religious leaders. I for one, am tired of the hypocrisy. I am a believer in evolution that shows the greatest development of the homo sapien brain came with survival of the fittest. How can we improve our brains and grow with our changing times when we turn off the changes that we need to address?
We have seen where less cultural development can be found where the tribal God rules the civilization in their parts of the planet. We have sections of earth where no development has been found and the people themselves resent interference by more advance civilizations.
One of the oldest Gods on earth is the Hebrew God. Being one of the first to try to set behavior standards for their followers gave them a standard of laws that they were intelligent enough to record. These laws are based on common sense and an attempt to make all their followers in agreement of what is expected of them.
We have the Christians entering the picture who borrowed these laws and tried to refine them beyond the ability to prove their worth. Christians made up new laws with a threat of not getting into heaven and unless they followed the laws written by men to control the followers of a man who was born a Jew but needed a motive to sell the new religion, they would all go to hell. .
The Mohammad Muslim God followed and soon made their God more powerful and their tribal followers' militant in their threats. None of these religions have any thought about the future of the people living under their Gods and have continued to over- populate the earth with people who have lost their ability to survive without declaring wars on each other.
In my personal world, it is the Christians who have developed an arrogance not matched by their actions. We have professional religious leaders who commit the ultimate egregious actions on our children forever changing their young minds and bodies. We have men who run on their Christian labels who commit the ultimate sins of lying to entire nations to protect their own actions. In our Christian communities, incest is running rampant and if they don't molest their children they get rid of them. Lying and child abuse is second nature to this largest of all religious groups.
The Christian world of the 2000 decade is unhealthy! We elect leaders we cannot trust and they know it. We citizens pack our lives with all kinds of activities that take our minds off what we are inside. We are told from birth to attend church, keep Jesus in our minds and that is all there is to it. IT DOES NOT WORK!
Look where this has taken us in America.
Our great Christian nation cannot educate our children to keep up with the technologies needed to keep America on top. Our children have revolted under their parent's God and are slipping into drugs at record numbers. Our abortion numbers are sky high and the divorce rate is off the charts.
Is this the result of giving away our self responsibilities and turning them over to a religious leader who, for a price, will guarantee you a place in heaven? Have we lost our ability to be strong in our moral values and train our children to respect them? Or have we sold out to the closest church in our neighborhood and given them our souls?
Generations of religious people need their society of like-minded believers because the thought of living on one's own mental resources scares the hell out of them. These generations of believers have destroyed the developed brain of our species. It is the devolution of our species and far too many people have fallen into this catastrophe.
It will destroy our entire culture and take us back to the dark ages of the warriors of the crusades. We are destroying the minds of our children through insulting academic institutions and the drugs like Ritalin who keep the brain from developing, leading the kids into illegal drugs. We can design faster and stronger athletes but only through using drugs.
Where is the character development in America these days? Is it based only on our citizen commitment to Jesus Christ? Is there anyone living on this earth who actually benefits from this conversion? Does it mean political achievement in America these days? Or is it the only fast track to winning an election?
The greatest achievement that I can find is it tends to keep people sober. Coming from a family full of drunks, I applaud A.A. for its efforts but to change the whole American Constitution to follow the words of one man's movement to redirect our decisions and give up our ability to critically think for ourselves is not worth the movement.
America is a free nation and we have leaders who freely lead us into an unbalanced economy and a dangerous war effort based on bald-faced lies. Long live Christian America!
