Religion is the Birth of DEATH and the Myriads of Philosophies and Ideologies of A Better Life Elsewhere - in the Great HereAfter - but not Here and Now
Reverence for Life - or Love of Death? Which are we Taught to Believe in? If We were Taught to Believe that - Here and Now is It - We would not so Willingly Squander Our Life's Blood in Dangerous and Worthless Pursuits (hazardous jobs, or sports, or recreation, etc.) and all Peoples would especially think deeper about War and Needless Killing. But Human(e) Kind has no Reverence for Life and Creation in the Here and Now (though often Professing We do) and only Desecrates, Ruins, Rapes, and Exploits and Pollutes the Body of Our Mother Earth, of God's Creation, for Our own Selfish Gluttony - Why? - because we are made to Believe that we are only Tourists - Here, and Now - but only 'passing through' on the Way to Heaven. Such a Mistake to Believe that We may Pillage and Pollute this Creation, and yet Expect that We will be allowed residence in Paradise or Heaven elsewhere - never having learnt True Love (Respect and Reverence) of each other and the Earthly Creations of Here and Now. Yet We are made to Believe in the False Doctrines of Men - of Obedience to them - and Our Reward is to be in DEATH??? Let Us Think.
