I recently had an exchange with set of twitter users that
indicated that all the death and suffering currently being imposed by religious
extremists in the Middle East is all part of a plan imposed/implemented by
god. They openly admitted that they are
comfortable with this plan. This plan
contains everyone who is murdered or tortured by the Islamic fundamentalists. All of this is based on some perverse love of
Bronze Age ideology
One of these persons used the martyrdom term and prayer
to cover for their rationalization of the horrors committed in the name of a
god. They will pray for those persons
beheaded or slain in a bathroom because they did not meet the standard of the
persons using god’s law to cleanse the earth of kafirs. It is atrocious to think that prayer or doing
nothing but thinking about god’s plan, will actually help anyone or anything
change for the betterment of humanity.
What becomes evident quickly is that there are victims/cowards
identified and barbarians/murderers and those who believe in any god will comfortably
slip between roles because they are championing gods great plan. Congratulations you have equated the phrase,
it was part of gods plan to - Allah
akbar.
The use of the term, gods plan, is an excuse to murder,
torture, or marginalize humanity or is a way to watch from a safe distance and
do nothing.
For those who do not speak up or act up to change the
outcome of your own future hiding behind a plan from an imaginary sky daddy are
actually worse than those who commit the atrocities. You had the ability to act and you
failed. You are cowardly little shits and deserve the
guilt you feel. Unfortunately it is likely you feel no guilt
for these people, their families, or the persons who watched these horrific
events.
Until you realize that guilt, sadness, fear, and anger
are signals that something must change you are destine for a horrific outcome.
I am an atheist and do not support nor understand your
twisted sense of reality. I support
humanity hoping that it will shed the need for a religious construct to feel
better about the way we treat each other.
Facts are facts humans are animals, religion does not elevate us from
that fact. Some of these animals are so
profoundly damaged by religious zealotry that that they cannot see belonging to a religion does not keep you safe it imperils your existence.
Religion poisons everything and will eventually destroy
humanity. I will work diligently to conversationally neuter any person or entity that supports this pathological perspective.
