Dear MCB,
For years now I have been extremely concerned about the plight of the religious world and its interactions, which have only proved to have left a massive trail of blood shed both now and throughout history. Such blood shed is not the problem of the dead but the living. Is it not a time to assess what religion is really doing for the Human race?
Such interactions have at no point ever to have been the message sent by God to any religion, because God has never ever been passed such messages on in person. Yet every religious leader, who are only religious leaders because of human demand and not the demand of God, seem to interpret the so called word of God to suit there own personal quest or the preferred requirement of the human demands, in many cases who’s eyes are totally closed to the differences of others. I would never ever believe anyone who said they carry the word of God to or for any religion. The Buddhist idea of a path to each individuals enlightenment seems the best advice.
I am lucky to live in this period where I can be free to say whatever I want without the shackles of religious power and its once deadly consequences to the free.
I refer to myself as free. My religious back ground was the church of England and I have studied it many times and still come up with the same conclusion which is that it is just a story. I follow the Ten Commandments which to me seems perfect sense for everyone, plus there are not many rules to break. Every religious person continually breaks or distorts the so called word of God to suit their own demands.
I truly believe in science as it is the only truth that carries with it real proof. I do not believe that Jesus was the son of god as much or more than anyone else in the world. Although the Moslim religion does not claim to have had a leader sent directly from God, which is maybe more believable. It still carries the message of backing the powerful leaders and receiving nothing in return but a paradox of eternal life. Eternal life can be proved in a certain way anyway, ‘you die turn to matter, the matter stays on the earth, the matter is ten absorbed by creatures and plants, which are then eventually absorbed by humans who obviously reproduce.
Hence the so called Kingdom of heaven is on earth anyway.
For many years Moslems have continually fought one another and killed one another over there own differences concerning their own religion. Its seems the only way you can unite the religion is to do so against a common enemy, even if it means negating the rights of freedom of people in moslim countries.
I am now extremely concerned about the fact that now in reply to the rather strange, violent and at times outrageous rantings of religious leaders in the moslem world and on our own door step of the free peoples of the world, it has given raise and power to another religious nut with a lot more power at his disposal. That religious nut case is President Bush.
So on behalf of people who wish now that there really was a god, who can take the good non religious and free away from this crazy and utterly evil religious world I thank you for your time, because time is something that the world has very little of.
Regards
PS; If you wish to reply, do so in a debating fashion. A message of reprisals to my person for my belief will not phase me in such troubled times. I would like to know more about all the history of the Israeli Palestine situation from a moslim perspective and how a normal moslim person would deal with the situation. I have Moslem friends and acquaintances, however I feel as though I can not discuss how I feel without hurting their feelings and ending up being sued or attacked. Also could you confirm to me whether it says anywhere in the Koran if all non Moslems should be either turned to be Moslem or labelled ‘an infidel’ and deserve to be slaughtered.
