Folks,
If you've been reading things on the internet recently, you'll have noticed an alarming trend that should cause your ass to pucker hard enough forcing out a hershey-kiss turdlet into your undies. That is, the rise of strident religious intolerance from religions that claim to be about peace and love.
Firstly, I don't think that any one religion has a lock on intolerance, ignorance, crimes against humanity and its share of violent adherents that twist spirtitual understanding into martial diatribes. So, I don't want any preachy fucking letters from mouth-breathing mud-sucking religious dildos looking to pervert this message too into one of "my religion is awesome and/or better".
But I expect those letters. I expect them because religious discourse in this world has degenerated into hypocritical religious tribalism. People don't seem to look at what is good in other people, rather, they seek to extoll the abuses of the other religions. If any of these modern combatants were to take three steps back, eat one of those red, white and blue rocket popsicles that are way too overpriced at airshows and stare at the problem they so readily fight, they'd notice a very odd thing:
People want to destroy the other religions because they believe those other religions are hell bent on destroying them. Seeking out the other's holy works, they pinpoint those passages that confirm their darkest fears. For everything that Muhammed said regarding peace, tolerance and love, some focus on those passages that cry for the death of all non-Muslims. What about this from the Hadith?
If anyone harms, God will harm him, and if anyone shows hostility to others, God will show hostility to him. Skipped, never to be mentioned. And then, in a stunning display of hypocrisy that would blow the nuts off an elephant at 30 paces, they
call for the death of all Muslims. Religious integration becomes a kill-or-be-killed...
