Literalism


If we examine the ‘sacred’ scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam critically,

We quickly realize that, while they may contain profound spiritual allegories and passages of inspiring beauty,

they are also full of contradictions, wanton cruelty and mindless violence

– with ‘God’ himself often being the worst offender.

Clearly, ‘they were not written or inspired by God, but created by men.

And often by the worst kind of men.

Politicians dressed up as priests

.
Why do we so seldom critically examine so called holy writings?
.
Particularly when they encourage violence against others
.
Promote division and separation
.
Maybe we don't care
.
Maybe we have no interest
.
Or maybe we just accept without thought
.
Maybe it's time we did because so much killing and mayhem is done in the name of religion
.
Has been for several thousand years
.
Continues to this day
.
Enough is enough
.
It will not stop until we think for ourselves and start to condemn crude teachings in who soevers name they are uttered
