Gods, Prophets and Deities. For some reason, these things drive people insane. For some reason, these things cause people to fight. For some reason, these things cause people to even go so far as killing innocent individuals to satiate their god's thirst for blood. But, why? What is it about religion that if the school down the street from you has one practicing Muslim in it, you need to go and blow up the entire building? (I'm looking in your direction, Norwegian dude..)
The sad part is, this isn't an isolated incident. It doesn't happen in just one part of the world and is a far more common occurance than most people want to even fathom. Right now, in Iraq, the Shi'ites are fighting the Suni for religious control of the country. I, obviously, don't need to remind you that a small, extremist Islamic faction flew fucking PLANES into our buildings AND actually believed that God, Allah, Muhammed....whatever...was going to reward them with 72 virgins upon getting to Heaven not all that long ago. From 1095-1272, Christians SLAUGHTERED anyone who didn't believe in the Lord, Our God. That's almost 200 years of Christians telling the Muslims to go fuck themselves on their way to Hell. (And the media wants to blame kids' violent behavior on video games and rap music.Tsk tsk mass media.)
It's no wonder that more and more people I talk to care less and less about any sort of organized religions these days. With events like these happening every other week, it tends to drive away the common man and attract the nut case who wants to stab a school full of children with a screwdriver. Why can't we all remember that all of our major religions were based on a prophecy of peace? What happend to loving thy neighbor? To put all of this in perspective, I'm going to close this out with words of wisdom straight from the horse's mouth.
In the words of Jesus Christ:
"Don't be a dick."
