Alas the ignorance is now flowing freely. With one little blog entry I was able to get a bunch of zealots all riled up. I work in a world where we solve business problems. One of the tools often applied is simple root cause analysis (RCA). I still hold my position that the root cause of most of this fighting in, around, and from the Middle East is RELIGION. Go forth now and squabble amongst yourselves like spoiled children fighting over a plastic bucket and shovel in a sand box. I have to go to work…you kids play nice now. Just understand clearly that if you come over to my sand box and bring your fight with you, I hang around with a bunch of folks that will put your little shovel in your ear and insert the bucket in your @%#!
Oh, but just to clarify…none of them consider white bed sheets with eye holes cut in them to be acceptable outerwear, for any season. I have friends that are Muslim and Buddhist and Christian and Hebrew. I would love their children like they were my own if anything happened to them. If your religious beliefs make you feel otherwise, then you might just indeed be the one that’s screwed up in the end. Hello! Are you listening?
Sholkar, you nailed it buddy. Religions that persecute other religions walk in peril. History has already apologized for the actions of Christians 500 years ago. Similarly, it has apologized for the actions of racists in the U.S. 150 years ago. But, I’m about damned tired of apologizing to anybody for actions I took no part in. I am a Christian. I am also a Falcons football fan and I watch the Detroit Tigers play baseball when I can. If Islamic fundamentalists win their misguided jihad, and align behind a different team for religious reasons, will we have to start killing people for showing up at a picnic wearing the wrong franchise logo on their hat?
The Mayan culture had some pretty disgusting and cruel religious beliefs. They persecuted their neighbors at the behest of religious leaders too. Look how well all that worked out for them! Again, for those of us whose passion is obviously blinding, look out into the night sky and get your head around the fact that the stars go on forever. If all the answers were spelled out in detail in the Bible and Qur’an why the heck didn’t we get an explanation for that one? If your heart tells you to hate me because I went to a Catholic school, well we’re just going to be at odds about that then aren’t we? Why is it that the closer one gets to the letter of the law as related to most religions, the closer they get to being so self-righteous they act out in ways that border on evil?
