It would only take me a few moments to point out the verses from the Good Book that are often used in solitary context to promote gender bias, prejudice, ignorance, arrogance and selfishness–and truthfully, those who stump these verses outnumber my simple faith.
So I am a bit confused when Muslims pretend they are bewildered by what causes the zealots within their ranks to interpret the teachings of Mohammed in a way that fosters terrorism.
Yes, it really is a source of aggravation to me that a Muslim woman will sit on television with her head covering, sharing that the Muslim faith has nothing whatsoever to do with anything but peace and love.
I will tell you–most Christians are not concerned about peace and love. Many of them only want to go to heaven while keeping the club as exclusive as possible.
So let’s stop all the bull crap.
Muslims know what their book says, just like I know what my book says. And some of the things in my book make me nervous–especially when they are isolated by mean-spirited people who are determined to hurt others.
Likewise, the Koran has passages that welcome the decimation of the infidel.
So it’s time for us, as intelligent, evolving, loving and giving people, to realize that religion needs some restrictions.
After all, we have already done this. Even as we insist that religious freedom is holy in this country, we certainly do not tolerate human sacrifice in a religious service, nor have we granted tax exempt status to the Ku Klux Klan, even though they insist they’re the white Christian church.
We cannot live on a planet that allows people to worship a God who is anti-human.
I will give you three examples. This trio of holy principles must be honored in every religion–otherwise, it is not a true expression of faith, but rather, a secret plot against mankind.
When you tell me you have a religion, I have three questions:
1. What does your God think about women?
Since women are at least half the planet, if they aren’t given equality in your religion, then your belief must be ignored.
2. What does your God say about free will?
If your religious observance contends that we are all bound by destiny, God’s will and God’s law instead of choosing our decisions for ourselves, then you will eventually start hearing voices telling you to kill off the competition.
3. What does your God think about judging the lives of others?
For if you’re following a deity that is more concerned about the “jot and the tittle” instead of the “tot and those who have little,” then I will tell you that you will gradually try to eliminate the sinners, thinking that you’re pleasing the saints.
If religion does not provide equality for all, free will for each one of us and the righteous position of being able to make our mistakes without being judged by others, then it is really not a belief in a Creator, but rather, pursuing an avenger.
That’s the good news.
Please don’t tell me you are baffled by how religion hurts people. Instead, follow some better news:
Start encouraging belief in a heavenly Father who honors men and women, offers free will and refuses to allow us to judge.
