LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN

The London Bridge violence. What is it this time? What brand of religious fruitcake was it this time? Does it even matter?

All religion (particulaly the big 3) is wonderful in the concept and then divisive, angry, stupid, horrific, violent, tribal and destructive in the execution.

The right wing American asswipes, shooting up churches they don't agree with, or attended by races they hate? Jews blowing up Palestinian teenagers in the name of the same god who teaches Palestinian teenagers to bomb Jews? It allowed Jews to steal an entire country for themselves? Or the god who arranged for white people to decimate millions of native Americans because they were non Christian sub humans? Or who arranged for the torment and murder of millions of Jews, Russian peasants, and the deformed or sick?

It is the natural flow of religion... to get away, almost immediately, from the basic tenets of forgiveness, generosity, charity and living by the 'golden rule' (present in all religious movements)--to a place of creating emnity with other belief-systems.

In order to prosper and perpetuate, the Abrahamic individual religious belief systems MUST identify and then oppose 'the other'- and then take action against them. It is baked into the recipe.

And so....

Terrorist violence on London Bridge.

Jewish violence to Palestinians.

Palestinians violence to Jews.

Christian violence, cloaked in social concern, accross the globe?.

Christian divisive fanaticism against all and each other, telling everyone else --and each other how to live and supporting violence / tribalism...in the name of their little made up, imaginary friend?

I am SO exhausted by and disgusted by, religious violence, prejudice, tribalism and nonsense.

There is nothing more destructive, divisive and embroiling to mankind than the silly religions we have made up, (especially the Big Three) and that we then use to torment the "other" - either with violence, or oppression or harassment. Because they don't wear the right beanies, beleive the same made up shit we do, or whatever. Sickening BS.

How did the precepts of care for the sick, forgiveness of others for their 'trespasses, as we seek forgiveness for ours'?...HOW did those metamorphos into shootings, stabbings, arrests, right wing zeolats on the radio, ranting about Jews...Jews ranting about Muslims?...Christians ranting about everyone and each other?... Muslims killing each other and Jews and Christians...all in the name of the same "God" they are today singing their stupid little songs to the sky about?

What happened to dining with prostitutes and tax collectors and riff raff?... sharing our fortune and food without judgement? Visiting those in prison? Not lying all the time or murdering or taking what is not ours? What happened to feeding and caring for ALL the downtrodden?

Right now, as I write this, all over Christendom, well meaning simpletons are moaning to the ceiling, pretending some ethereal primate male is floating around, concerned with virgins, birth control, Sunday supper, prosperity gospel and an entire universe of made up nonsense.

I guess yesterday, Jews all over did the same and, good god, the Muslims are prayer rugging and moaning what, 5 times a day? Pointed toward some man-made city  on this third rate, dying planet. Really? What phony stupidity.

Interestingly, of course, those of us who subscribe to the known structures of physics, the periodic table, cosmic science and observation, with 12th  grade level biology, geography and chemistry---we admit we don't have any special understanding of what created all this, except the obvious big bang 17 billion years ago

--concurrent with the factual understanding that all things in the known universe are made up of the same 100 or so elements of the periodic table. Ergo, everything we know, see, touch and disciver---here and in the cosmos, is made of the same 100 elements.  Which is certainly thought provoking!

Most of us are pretty sure that whatever engineered all of that is not consumed with strong feelings about virgins, primate sexual behavior, beanies, Pope's, facil scarves, preachers, prosperity mega churches, concocted books like bibles, etc., facial coverings, what day of the week we croak & sing, or what we worship.

That engineering force, pretty obviously, set in motion one moment to fold into the next, randomly, with no plan other than the unfolding, if which we are merely one of the happenstance ingredients.

In a word to you religious twats, STFU and leave everyone else alone.
