The colossal joke.
I am sick and fucking tired of the apparently hopeless addiction this age (not world) has to Abrahamic religions.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Three philosophies that have experienced such frequent schisms through the centuries that their common ancestry has been all but completely obscured in BS. That's the colossal joke, they are all elementally forms of Judaism; but try to tell a Christian or a Muslim he is actually Jewish; a Christian will blush and a Muslim will try to hurt you.
The Abrahamic illusion of the beginning and the end of the world are a prime example. Beliefs so prevalent in western thought that science is replete with them. As an example I would cite the "big bang theory". this universe stems from a single big bang at some far distant past that is so distant as to have no actual relation to any human-conceived perception of reality. Did it ever occur to any of these supposedly detached scientific observers that the concept of beginnings and endings is just that; a concept? We believe there is a beginning and end because our parents on back through millennia believed. Our place in all this is so miniscule that any idea about beginnings and ends is moot. Compared to a billion years, a human life is much, much less than a spark.
No further thought required, the idiocracy has begun.
These crusading ninnies with their Christendoms and Caliphates will without cease bash each other into bloody tatters content in their personal belief that their god (the same god) will have a place for them in heaven after they die and will reserve a warm spot in hell for their enemies. This is dangerous thinking because it makes them reckless with the lives of all us other poor dumb bastards stuck riding this globe to infinity.
