okay, lets talk.
my mother was baptised as a mormon. i have yet to be baptised.
one of the main problems with this world is religion. from what i have seen with my own two eyes, nearly every denomination believes that if each member does not convert people to their own beliefs, that particular member will go to a “hell” of some sort.
we see this in movies - usually its the villain trying to raise an army for - who knows what.
there are good things and bad things, when it comes to religion. the belief in a much bigger picture, for example, i think is a good thing. i am a human being, on what we call a planet. i live in one of many homes, in one of many cities, in one of many states, in one of many countries, on one of many continents, on one of many planets - in one of many solar systems, so on and so forth. science has proven that i maybe smaller than an atom, in the grand scheme of things.
we can see this. its nothing new.
however - nearly every denomination also believes that if we, as people in general - that “the indifference of good men” is a very powerful evil. so basically - if i see someone about to kill someone else, and do nothing to stop the murder, then i am far worse than the person that committed the crime. solely because i did nothing.
this belief must have been created by man. i refuse to accept any other explanation.
take a look at the animal kingdom. animals kill daily for various reasons. territory, defense, food, and more. i have yet to see a wolf stop another wolf from eating a chicken, only to explain that killing chickens is bad, and all wolves should eat plants. this is not an attack on vegans.
this is an attack on humanity.
we hear about killings, dictators, rebellions, etc - all over the globe, every day. we take that, and add to it the belief that if we do nothing to stop it, we may as well be responsible for every drop of blood spilled. congratulations - in your mind, you have just created “war”
we dont kill the antelope attacking the lion for eating its young - we let the animals handle their own business. some will argue with me on this, because lions and antelope are different creatures, and we are all human.
to those people - we, as a race, have created different creatures. i am an american. the people from mexico are mexicans. syria, syrians. i can do this all day. the fact remains that at least two people disagree, and it has escalated to spilling the blood of the innocent.
unfortunately, i support this. we’ve all seen movies where someone builds an army, and some one else disagrees. there will always be arguments both for and against everything. however, the movies fail to project the gravity of the realities.
we can make all the movies we want about saddam, hitler, bin laden - so on and so forth, but we dont see what the soldiers see. we may have seen pictures, and heard stories - but the vast majority of us didnt lay, tied down in a bed somewhere in germany - and watch as our friends, our neighbors, etc were injected with God knows what, tortured, experimented on, etc. we werent there.
and i’ll bet that almost any one of us - had we been there and able to do so - would have put a bullet in the “dr” that was performing “the operation”.
this brings me to my point - “the indifference of good men” is vital to our existence. as much as i would love to do what “Anonymous” does in real life - the less we see, the less we do.
and with 7 billion people on this planet, thats about 14 billion eyes that are going to need to see a hell of a lot of blood. and with 7 billion people - we sure do have a hell of a lot of blood.
and i very firmly believe that sometime, somewhere, amongst all the blood, the dead piled to the skies, the hate-filled brains - there will be a man (or a woman) - that will have his/her eyes wide open - and see that there are some drastic changes that need to be made, and, like the last guy, we as a race, will probably take this one - make certain that his/her blood will not be on our hands while seeing to it that he/she takes the worst, most inhumane, life-taking punishment that we will have at the time… last time it was crucifixion. i dont want to imagine what it could be next time.
the stories of that person will live on. people hearing these stories will come in to power, and these cycles will be repeated.
“lesson repeated until lesson learned”
i dont know if there is a God, Devil, so on and so forth - maybe i’ll find out as i lay in a pine box somewhere.
but i do know that it took getting burned to learn about heat.
yes, its all very unfortunate. no one wants to lose their friends and loved ones in battles and struggles they may not even believe in.
yet, here we are - its almost like we’re studying for a test, and the survival of the human race depends on it.
