Billions of Fools!

Here’s the story of a fool that most of you have heard of – there is this guy living in Europe or other and hears that America is the land of opportunity – this is back in the 1800’s or early 20^th century. He hears that the streets of NY are paved with gold, that one can just pick up bushels of money off the sidewalk of New York’s streets!

So, he gets on a ship and lands in NY – he starts walking and after a few minutes he sees a 100 dollar bill on the sidewalk and he goes, “nah, I am not going to work on my first day!” and he keeps going!

Everyone can see the fool that he is – we know that money cannot be obtained that way. We learn thru life that nothing in life is Free, Given nor Easy. These are God’s lessons for us. Money, or the good life must be worked for, it is not given, sacrifices need to be made, risks taken, there will be setbacks which must be overcome & with a bit of luck thrown in, we can be successful.

If you tell someone that you are frustrated with your job, a boss that does not appreciate you, long hours at work and then a long commute, and that someone says, “Just quit your job, then a rich guy will show up at your door and shower you with millions! You can live the happy good life!” – will you not laugh aloud and call that person crazy?

How about Santa? We learn early in life that presents do not come free, they must be bought with hard-earned money. Again, in life nothing is Free, Given nor easy!

And yet billions, even the best of minds, drool over cheap promises of religions of living the easy good life in Heaven! The rich guy God is happy to keep billions of people in comfort for eternity, while they shamelessly sit idle and sponge off him! There is a Santa waiting for us after death, free stuff for everyone! Enjoy!

Billions are giving in to their greed, their fear of death. And some religions exploit this greed, they exploit God, making him work for their religion, pushing conversions by saying such a good life is Given!

Given only to those who pray to the “right” God! These are not unintelligent people & yet somehow religion is able to brainwash them into thinking that they alone have found the “right” God, and if they just believe, obey, submit and sing his praises he will reward them with pleasures of the flesh in Heaven!

It is that easy!

And amazingly these same bright people fail to see a King, a Dictator like Putin in these Gods. Ancient people living under Kings, Dictators envisioned an afterworld that was similar to the life they had back then, a King, Dictator like Putin god demanding blind belief, obedience, submission, loyalty to him alone, sing only his praises and no other and rewarding/punishing accordingly. But that was life back then and those innocent, poorly educated people with little knowledge of the universe, created gods and religions that made sense to them.

Today’s dictators like Putin reward their supporters, their cronies, sycophants. Kings used to do that as well – but these Kings, Dictators live in a dangerous world – with enemies everywhere, so many plotting to pull them down. And unlike a democratic leader losing his election and maybe retiring, these Kings, Dictators once they lose power, will, most probably lose their life as well. The new King, Dictator, will make sure the old King, Dictator or his family will not threaten him!

And when the stakes are so high, Kings, Dictator naturally rewarded those who blindly believed & supported them – loyalty, submission to him alone, obedience was of the highest priority. And so, morals, values of his subjects were less important – of utmost importance to a Dictator was as we said, loyalty, submission, obedience, belief in only him, sing only his praises and no other!

A person could be an evil person, maybe raping and killing young children but if that person were loyal, powerful, and useful to the Dictator, he would be left alone to do as he pleased. But if a kind, gentle soul did not like what the Dictator was doing and spoke out? That person would be dragged to jail and never heard of again!

We see this happening in Russia and North Korea – the henchmen of Putin, Kim Jong Un have killed so many innocents, entire families have been killed, even children have not been spared.

Hence, religions saying, “Good works won’t get you into Heaven” – it is not good works that the Dictator rewards but loyalty, submission, blind obedience! Clearly these are Master/Slave religions – Religions that used their King, Dictator as a template for God!

I find it amazing that not even some of the best of minds can see this. Amazingly drooling over cheap promises of an everlasting life of ease & comfort!

God is reduced to a Sugar Daddy waiting to keep billions in cozy comfort while they just sit and sponge off him for eternity! Death is a gateway to a magic land of comfort, a Barbie land! Yay!

But that is opposite to the REAL WORLD that we live in! How is it that even the best of minds ignores these lessons from God and drool over cheap religious promises? As my title says, there seem to be Billions of blind fools in this world!

I will say it over and over, Religion is the very best, by far, at killing all intelligence, morals, ethics, brainwashing even the best of minds!
