What American writer Madeleine L’Engle (A Wrinkle in Time) said at left rings true to most educated people around the world.
Monotheistic religion is built around fear. There is no other reason to believe that an omnipotent being is tuned into everything you think and do, and, if He doesn’t like what He sees, will happily sentence you to an eternity of torture.
I seldom criticize others’ beliefs, but this is a concept unworthy of an intelligent species.
More to the point, we’re at a watershed point in human civilization. So many of our planetary woes are built on the idea that my God in the sky is better than yours.
Let it be purged from humankind. If we still have an organized society here in 100 years, we will have long since disposed of this stupidity.
Here’s an idea:
Give all descendants of slaves free college, with stipends, like they do in northern Europe.
Within a generation, we’ll have millions of young, highly educated black people, contributing to the work force at much higher levels than they are today.
We all admit that the MAGA base is composed of the most ignorant of Americans, but one has to think that even these people are losing their patience with Trump and the onslaught of catastrophes he’s bringing to the United States.
It’s hard to think of a bad trait that Trump doesn’t manifest.
He certainly has pettiness and vindictiveness nailed.
