Musings on Racism, the Separation of Church/State, and Religious Hate

When first reading about the mass shootings in NZ; the murder of 50 Muslims in their place of worship... my first thought was not shock, but a combination of profound sadness, and a cynical question: 'How long will it take for this psychopathy, to rear its ugly head again?' Considering the amount of white supremacist shootings in the US, since Trump's presidency, I thought, 'there will only be more hate, until this time of insanity, politically and culturally, will finally run its natural course.' This is terribly cynical, but this vulgar right wing movement across the world has no sign of stopping, anytime soon.

There are over 3 billion practising Muslims on the planet. For any erst while power hungry, $ hungry-non-Muslim-warmonger-country, this is a daunting statistic. Since 9/11/01, the US and its allies have killed over 4 million Muslims, and this number is rising. This is no accident. Considering the tragedy in Christchurch, 50 murdered and rising, this is a small number in comparison. Please, this terrorist crime is appalling. A crime of the human spirit. Objectively, however, one can observe a diabolical pattern.

The fight between Islam/Christianity has been on-going since the start of the 2^nd century CE. The HATE between White Christianity and Brown Islam has been raging ever since. It is a hate of difference, the 'other'; a hate about theology; but really, a infantile varied interpretation of 'Holy Scripture'. When religion enters politics , a democratic system will eventually fail. The American Fathers of the US., Republic knew this, and unfortunately, in present time, extreme religious beliefs has entered politics in the US, like a slow moving poison, and around the world.

In my opinion, religion has blinded and confused most of the planet. To be sure, I have never been an atheist. (There is a higher power, one only needs to feel) To inculcate interpretation of Holy Scripture into politics, will only lead to catastrophe. Our American Fathers of democracy knew this, hence the dire warning to separate church and state. One calls Saudi Arabia and Israel theocracies, the US has covertly, by slow moving stealth, has become the worst theocracy on the planet.

Racism is an aspect of fear/hate of the other. Indeed, fear and hate are like diabolical cousins, a combination that will only combust and explode.

This weeks mass murder of Muslims in Christchurch is a only a small example, a warning, that hate of the other has political ramifications. Perhaps too, a long and specific propaganda campaign, over years of war. To eliminate the dark skinned enemy, and re-assume our White-Christian position at the top... Kill them all, and the white race will finally be able to rest easy, controlling the rest.

More diabolical, are Trump's three neocon “rapture” threesome: Pence, Bolton and Pompeo. These idiots not only believe scripture literally, but are creating WW3 in order for it to become a reality. “We are the true chosen ones, so lets create chaos in the middle east, in order to experience the Rapture.” In a more popular term: Armageddon.

To hate someone because of their difference, whether skin colour, religion and even political persuasion, are the beliefs and actions of the unenlightened; because when one truly studies the Bible, Koran, Mormon, etc., the basic message is the same: LOVE.
