#The Evil of this World

My wife says I suffer from Cynicism. Perhaps I am. How can one not be cynical with all the crazy stuff going on in the world? A few days ago we had a School shooting in Canada. Two students and two teachers were shot to death and a number of people injured. It happened in a little town called La Loche in Saskatchewan, way up north, mostly natives live there. Shootings like that are not normal in Canada; we don’t have a love-affair with guns like the Americans, where shootings like that seem to be the norm. So this is something out of the ordinary and tragic for our country. Canadians don’t commit crimes like that, not as a rule. Not everyone carries or even possesses a gun; by that I mean a handgun. Hunters and farmers have hunting rifles, but no assault rifles. Nobody needs those. It makes absolutely no sense, unless you are a criminal.

It is difficult to keep up with all the killings and murders and all the terrorist acts happening everywhere almost on a daily basis. It is an epidemic. It is insanity. In addition we have the refugee crisis. I have no idea when and how all this will end. Having millions of people of a rigid, intolerant religion suddenly spread across the globe will have no happy ending.

Talking about things that make no sense. Religion makes no sense. Two billion Christians believe in Jesus, the son of a forgiving God, a god that cares. Well, I see no evidence anywhere about such a caring god. If he exists then he is taking a long holiday. The world is in chaos and getting worse with every day that passes. The Earth is populated with violent people. The history of humankind is nothing but the account of the violence that followed us from the day when the first semi-intelligent human picked up the jawbone of a beast he just killed with a rock or heavy branch, speculating how he could use it to kill a rival.

If we believe every word that is written in the bible, including the story about the first people, Adam and Eve, then it is not surprising that the world is in such a horrible state. According to the scriptures, Cain killed his brother Abel. There are no records of other people living on Earth. God only created Adam and Eve. This means Cain was the ancestors of today’s humans, which follows that he had sex with Eve, his mother, or his sister, if there was one. In other words humans are the descendants of a murderer and the result of incest. I can’t add anything to that.

1 ½ Billion people follow the teachings of a man who married a young girl when she was six years old. I’m not making this up. Here is proof:

 (Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death)

The Radicals of this religion actually believe when they commit suicide and murder a bunch of non-believers they will be rewarded with 72 virgins in the afterlife. The belief that they will go straight to heaven if they die in battle made the Moors in the eighth century so fearless and dangerous when they invaded and spread across North Africa.

Pardon my scepticism and my uncontrollable laughter. Sex with 72 virgins after you die? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything more ridicules and stupid. To die for sex? How horny are these suicide bombers? What’s wrong with having sex while they are alive? I read the story of one of these idiots. He was arrested before he could set off his strapped-on bomb. He actually had his private parts protected with a metal cup, because he wanted to make sure that they were still intact when he reached the ‘Other Side’. Are those the thoughts of a sane man?

Christians, Muslims, and Jews actually believe in the same god. Each of them gave ‘their’ god another name, just to be different. Other religions have their own god or gods or goddesses. Have humans always believed in gods? Probably. We are so unsecure that we have to believe in some higher power and some ‘better’ place, a place called ‘Paradise’ and a score of other names, because the world we live in is so crappy. Of course, we forget that we humans make it so crappy. Nobody will admit that, so we blame the ‘Devil’ or some other fantasy being for influencing us with evil thoughts, not realizing those evil thoughts are our own.

There is no Satan and there are no Evil Demons, but there is Evil on this Earth. This Evil is called ‘Humanity’. What does that say about the religions that rule us? And they do rule us. In fact, the so-called ‘Holy Men’ threaten anyone with harsh penalties, including death, if you have the nerve to question or criticize the prophets, their god, or their ‘Holy Books’. Religion is one of the best and most successful brainwashing techniques ever invented by man.

I didn’t make up those religions and those numbers. You can check it out here: https://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_different_religions_are_on_earth

They all claim they are the only and true religion. The other religions are wrong.

If all this craziness isn’t enough to make me cynical I don’t know what is.

Of course, every one of those religions is wrong, because my own personal religion is the correct one. How many followers in my religion? So far I’m the only one.
