HEBREW WARRIORS
(RELIGIOUS RADICALS)

I have always felt ashamed of the radical European Christians during the age of the crusades. Many have heard of the crusades but few know of the death and destruction that lay in their wake. Mohammed composed the Koran as he witnessed the radicals pouring in from foreign lands. Recently I discovered the fact that there were radical warriors long before the Euro-God Warriors, he went by the name of Moses and his Hebrew Warriors. Abandoned by his mother, placed in a basket and allowed to float down the Nile River because of the Pharaoh’s decree to kill all the first born males of the Hebrews. Ironically, the child Moses was discovered by a Royal Egyptian and raised as an Egyptian. Having access to a significant abundance of the advanced culture Moses excelled in learning Religion, Architecture, Warfare, Geography, Astrology, Metallurgy, and his most significant contribution Monotheism. As an adult, probably being groomed to be a high-level official, Moses learns of his identity and all hell breaks loose.


Ex 2:11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
Ex 2:12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

I am straining to be unbiased, but find it impossible to ignore the obvious fact that Moses is not of sound mind. He is living in the comfort of Egyptian Pharaoh’s palace, wanders out amongs the slaves, looks left then right, and destroys an overseer and buries him in the sand. Yeah no one is going to notice the disappearance of an overseer or that mound of sand over by the camp. Our dear aggressive Moses soon discovers that his people have found out about his deed and they have exposed him. Enraged the Pharaoh seeks to kill Moses, but our crafty Hebrew is long gone.


Ex 2:16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Ex 2:17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.
Ex 2:18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
Ex 2:19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
Ex 2:20 “And where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”
Ex 2:21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
Ex 2:22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become an alien in a foreign land.”

The radical Moses comes to a well where some sheepherders are bullying the seven daughter of a priest. Moses defeats the disadvantaged shepherds and rewarded by the priest giving him a wife. When Moses’s son arrives he states that he has become an alien in a foreign land. Now he hasn’t talked to God yet but it sounds to me that my man has a master plan cooking up. .

Ex 3:3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
Ex 3:4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called s to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”
Ex 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Ex 3:6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
Ex 3:7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.
Ex 3:8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey —the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

Well what do you know old Moses comes upon a burning bush that does not burn? I have tried to put an analogy to this interpretation but I keep coming up with nil. Moses is walking about in the desert and stumbles upon a bush that talks to him. After repeating his name several times he commands Moses to remove his shoes. Not only is the bush a flame but the ground around it was holy. How could this be? “Hello I am God of your father, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham,” the voice boomed. Moses immediately hides his face because he doesn’t wish to look upon the lord. Now certainly 99% of us would have been long gone after the bush speaking, but Moses pushes on unafraid. God says that he has heard his people’s cries and is concerned about their suffering. Then why does not the omnipotent force strike down the mean old Pharaoh and deliver them to a good and spacious land, (yeah right). Now the milk and honey part sounds great, but what about the populace that is already in place. Oh let us wipe them off the face of the map!

We all know of the crafty Moses and his tricks performed for the Pharaoh, which in turn leads to the great exodus. Moses out foxes the Pharaoh and his men in the desert and crosses a swamp at low tide under cover of darkness. Then once in the desert he takes the longest route possible to Canaan and makes camp at Mount Sinai


Ex 19:17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Ex 19:18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently,
Ex 19:19 and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.
Ex 19:20 The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up
Ex 19:21 and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish.
Ex 19:22 Even the priests, who approach the LORD, must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
Ex 19:23 Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’
Ex 19:24 The LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the LORD, or he will break out against them.”
Ex 19:25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.

This event is by far the most significant and original piece of religious literature. It separates the other religions, even though they have some of the same laws, but they were not handed down from God personally. Taken literally it is a terrifying account as smoke encompasses the mountain, the mountain shook, and trumpets became louder and louder. Now my skepticism begins to creep in where is Joshua during this, could he be the trickster? Then no one can come up the mountain except Aaron, to act as bodyguard not allowing anyone to see what is going on. In my mind, I can just see Moses chiseling away at the stone tablets. Of course Moses can’t turn his back one minute and the wild Hebrews have already built a golden calf idol. He gets pissed and breaks the only thing God has ever touched and goes into a rampage..

Ex 17:9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”
Ex 17:10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.
Ex 17:11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
Ex 17:12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
Ex 17:13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Ex 17:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
Ex 17:15 Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner

Moses did not just take his people out into the desert to starve or die but become hardened and ready to make war. Remember there are other people living in Canaan, and are enjoying the milk and honey. He has failed in the religious movement so far and he now is ready to put his military to the test against the Amalekites. Now pay attention to the strange detail of as long as Moses has his hands held high the Israelites are winning, as the arms fall to the side from fatigue the Amalekites win. How long did Moses let the opposing team win before he resumed his pose? Aaron and Hur sat Moses on a rock and held his arms up until the sunset. Psychological warfare has begun my friends and here is the proof.

Moses continues to invigorate his army with the promise of God is backing the Israelites, and that no one could oppose them. He dies and leaves Joshua in command and he too proves to be a military genius. Training in the mountains, mastering the first commandos and shock troops the Israelites have Canaan in a panic and for good reason. When Joshua takes a town no lives are spared, men, women, children, and livestock were slaughtered. Terrorism was born in the name of religion and the flood of blood still flows today. It disturbs me to know that many believers probably have never heard this story or gave it any thought telling themselves that it was God’s will.

Bottom line:
We cannot keep our perspective here as long as we are looking from inside the bubble. Only when we push the veil aside and peer beyond the world of childlike faith can we really see the truth. Osama Bin Laden trained his terrorist organization in the remote accesses of the mountain in Afghanistan. He is a master of commando tactics, as well as shock troops and does it in the name of Islam. To us it seems insane why someone would infiltrate a peaceful religion and exploit young men into becoming martyrs for one single purpose, to rid the world of infidels. Moses only wanted Canaan, Euro-Christians only wanted the Holy land, and now the experiment has grown exponentially and the radical Muslims want the world! How could this be some master plan? There is not one shred of logic to the riddle and nor will there ever be some rationale to justify all the bloodshed of the past. If we are to survive as a species we are going to have to put down the one book and pick up some new books.

TRAINING WHEELS

Training Wheels

I am what you might call a lost sheep. I held dear to the religious beliefs of my immediate ancestors at first just as child, totally obedient and religious. As time passed, I became more spiritual and found comfort in this position. Now that I have studied science, I am afraid the empirical evidence has swayed me once again from the flock. The flock, an interesting analogy that is given by thousands of ministers as they wield their version of the Bible, has been effective. Many believe that without religion the world would cease to exist as man would decent into oblivion with no morals or ethics. I will dispute this claim as best I can.

First, I would like to recall a familiar moral story about a dog and his prized steak. The dog has acquired a steak from the butcher shop and made a clean get away. Along his route on the way home, he crosses a bridge and out of the corner of his eye, he sees his reflection. He misinterprets the image as another dog with an even larger steak. Unable to fight back his greed he leaps into the stream. This hasty act leads to the loss of the prized steak and leaves the dog cold and hungry. Now everyone knows this story is fictional, but all can see the benefit of reciting it to children to learn the lessons it teaches. Even though we know that, the story is fiction we hold it as dear as if it were true and attempt to incorporate it into our society. This leads me to my next point of religion to create positive social norms.

Steven Pinker introduced me to the concept of the Noble Savage, in his book “The Blank Slate”. It is how some viewed the uncivilized world tribes, composed of peace loving men. His conclusion is that we are by nature, animals with the same selfish drives. Here one can make a good argument for the need of religion to band the people together and learn reciprocity. A deity that gives a moral law is in deed necessary to build a community. This explains the different religions that emerged around the world and how location directly influences the brand you subscribe. Evolution may have not succeeded without religion, but now I believe we are ready for the next phase of growth with science to show us the way.

Enlightenment is a word, thrown around loosely, spawning images of a Merlin-like figure gazing into a large pool of water reflecting the stars from the night sky. This as we all know is how the ancients began there quests, pondering the secrets of the universe. Imagination is our greatest adaptation and has lead to our great success as a species. Before science could explain these extraordinary phenomenons, deities were readily acceptable responsible parties. To shed some light on how the Catholic Church struggled to keep science in its place, finally in the year on October 31, 1992, Pope John Paul II and the Catholic Church state their remorse in how Galileo was treated and finally recognized that the earth orbits the sun. Innocent or guilty is probably a null point for the sake of argument here. I suggest that it is a sign of the times and to me a time of enlightenment.

Bottom line;

Humans are animals that have evolved from the motherland of Africa. Holding food, weapons, and tools man stood erect. Hunting is packs encouraged the first bands and reinforced the use of reciprocal behavior. Hunters are constantly devising ways to improve their skills communication, coordination, and preplanning. Now with the groundwork laid, these bands flourished and with the discovery of agriculture, the human race exploded overnight. Agriculture allowed enough food to allow the domestication of these wild bands. With their basic needs being met men were left to discern the world around them for the first time. Warlords and Kings quickly learned the lesson of a submissive populace in order to maintain control. Religion fell into place, by either naming these leaders as gods themselves or created through a divine union. As these practices passed on, one civilization to the next, religion was imported and improved upon with the lessons learned from the conquered peoples from before. Which leads me to my point; with all the moral stories learned and science, revealing the mysteries behind the veil it may be time to remove the training wheels. Religion served its purpose, but now I fear that if we continue to cling to these beliefs we are doomed to self-fulfilled prophecy of annihilation. The Bible, Koran, and Torah, are a few of our first books of reason, but should they be our last? I should hope not as we are living in a time of exponential growth in technology, and an infinite knowledge base resource sits in living rooms around the world. Never before have had access to so much, and I am not referring to shady sites, but real legitimate research illuminating the world! A time of enlightenment has dawn, where science will become our great book of reason, which may lead us finally to world peace and harmony.

ISLAMOFASCISM

Islamofascism Theonoma



Islamofacism has become the twenty first century’s Nazi movement. Good-natured people who wish to live in peace and allow others to express their beliefs sit by and allow these new bullies on the block take control. I include a term Islamofascism Theonoma as to mean a malignant cancer of theologies. I am very liberal, and occasionally been accused of being a tree-hugging pacifist, but only by those who do not really know me. I am one mad ass liberal when it comes to these radical fascist exploiting the good nature of their own as well as their enemies. I also realize that religion appeals to those who are poor and faith increases exponentially in times of struggle. Promises of paradise and never having to suffer again is a strong dream for someone who lives in a one room adobe with a dirt floor. I must again reiterate that I am by no means accusing religious people of being ignorant or evil. You have simply been infected with a clever disease (religion) that is resistant to any treatment and is easily passed from one generation to the next. Below I will express my opinion on how we got here and attempt to shed some light on a way out.
First, I want to make it clear that I love my country and the men and women who sacrificed so much in order for me to sit here today and write my mind. Looking back when we first discovered that sweet crude in the Middle East, we were dealing with people who had no real grasp of what it meant. Nomads became millionaire sheiks overnight, entrepreneurs in Europe and USA quickly developed this marvel in order to usher in the industrial age. Unfortunately, we were so busy with building the future we did not realize we were dumping tankers of money into the world of Islam.
We are great at marketing a product and knocking a competitor off their feet to beat them to the patent office, but when it comes to history and understanding other cultures we always seem to drop the ball. We wage wars, but play by the rules! If history teaches us anything this strategy will always fail. When you engage with an enemy, you must route them out and destroy any means of retaliation. In Vietnam, our brave soldiers were fighting with one hand behind their backs, which eventually lead to the communist killing a lot of innocent Vietnamese and Americans. The Afghans used the same tactics against the Russians and we are today facing the same in Iraq. The Carter administration did not fully understand why the Shah of Iran had to use an iron fist to keep the disrupters of progress and Western ideas at bay. Therefore, by not backing the Shah, we allowed Khomeini to reign in and start the Islamofascist movement. Khomeini promised to rid the world of the evil western puppet Shah of the Great Satan, but cleverly left out the part about totalitarian rule. This would include no human rights, no freedom of speech, and living in fear from paranoid mullahs. I fear that by being complacent and playing by the rules, we will fall to this incurable cancer Theonoma.
Solutions are not easy to find and political correctness prevents us from even considering what I about to propose. If we are to wage a war on terror then let us wage it in the manner in which our enemies are playing. Islamofascist are not nomads, but well educated in Theonoma, public speaking, the laws of our government, and are able to come to our country without fear of being killed. Not being a religious man, I still believe there is a war of good and evil at hand. Well, good being those who wish to live in peace and those who wish to control your every thought. These radicals have sold out on the idea of kill everyone, including him or herself and Islam win. In other words sacrificing their children, neighbors, and themselves is well worth the reward of bringing down the Great Satan! They are okay with laying waste to our world even if it takes obliterating every living organism that has been infected by western culture, leaving the residual life in the world to live like cave dwellers. Truly, in this primitive state, converts are easy to find. I say lets Glass over Iran! We can apologize to the world later. Waiting until Mahmoud Ahmadinejad points his shiny new missile at Israel or America will be too late.

Bottom Line;
We will never have peace as long as we encourage these different Theologies, hell bent on killing or converting the other side. A pluralist approach to religion (to each his or her own) only allows the bullies to take advantage of the good and peaceful, while the fence sitters find themselves serving as terrorist or dead. Solving the world’s poverty, replacing AK 47’s with tools and commissions, and encourage critical thinking skills instead of forcing our views down the world’s throat, is a great place to start for world peace. Diversity is important and tolerance of that diversity should always be a top priority. It is important for people to be accepted for their differences, but when the word hate, enters the equation it should not be tolerated and forced into submission. Now that we are infected with the Islamofascism Theonoma we must treat it aggressively with radiation! Let us glass over that dusty impoverished place, later telling the world we are sorry, or we shall look out of our humble abodes, with dirt floors to be subjected to a totalitarian rule and become good Muslims or dead free thinkers.

Long live America the beautiful!

SWEET IN MOTHERS EAR

Sweet in the ears of mothers…

All young boys have an innate primeval urge to become a warrior, provider, and hero. Someone to be respected for his actions in the face of death, not blinking as the blade comes down upon him and able to save his family from certain doom. Reminded of this phenomenon of our aspiring god warriors, watching a CNN news story covering HAMMAS terrorist group training in Israel reinforced my belief. Watching the clumsy movements of the new recruits, with their faces hidden by black cloth, and baggy fatigues marching in a swaggering manner, while seasoned guards firing AK 47’s all around in order to desensitize their nervous systems. It is easy to see their ambitious demeanor as they bond, forging themselves into the ideal God Warriors!
A song from the group WAR, “WAR…what is it good for came to mind” but instead WAR, I replaced it with the word RELIGON! Now before you begin to rant on about another cold hearted, Satan loving idiot, think about what I am saying. All of us, no matter what country you are from have been indoctrinated since we were able to speak to sing the praises of a certain deity, usually the one of our ancestors (Grandma and Grandpa). I will be the first to admit that in this respect a connection to our ancestors is vital in order to understand where we come from. It is important to our sense of belonging and a way to identify ourselves, but let us not lose ourselves to vanity. I am guilty of the promise of having offspring that looks like me, thinks like me, and enjoys the things that I hold dear. This is where nature has a hidden hand tweaking our systems for the survival of the species, even if it means taking a radical turn. In short, improving on the chip off the old block mentality replacing it with parts that are more efficient, and thus producing a hybrid, in accordance to Darwinian rules!
Now, to return to my point the innate need to belong, believe, and act as our ancestors did. Warriors, great hunters, and heroes can only become legendary if they are viewed in a certain perspective, on the one hand they are seen positive and on the other seen as negative. Pushing this point forward, consider the HAMMAS God warriors with their suicide bombing mentality. Now one might be tempted to jump on the radical Islam band wagon, but don’t forget those European Crusaders radical Christians, toting blood soaked swords into the middle east, which by the way had a detrimental effect on Mohammed as he composed the Koran. This is a good example of the perspective I mentioned before. European Crusaders did whole heartily believe they were doing gods work by reclaiming the holy land and were supported at home by generous donations to continue the good work. Just as the Crusaders centuries earlier, now groups such as HAMMAS are supported in very much the same way, only their goal is to drive the infidels from their land. Who is right is all in perspective.
This leads me to my point if you were to tell your son to go to war with the infidels for gold, do you think he would go with an extreme resolve. In my mind all conflicts are centered around gold no matter what the propaganda claims. For it is very safe to say that war is an expensive endeavor, a bottomless money pit. No one would partake in such a sacrifice over something as material as gold, but in the name of religion it suddenly becomes more palatable. Humans must surely be vain creatures, blinding themselves to the reality of killing their children over a branch of the same religion in this case! If you step outside the argument and say why would a pagan worshiper of Molech want to slay another pagan worshiper of Zeus? I would imagine your response would be that is silly those religions are outdated and false. My reply to this is when does a religion really become outdated? In returning to our perspective, it should become clear that being on one side you naturally become incurably biased and blinded by the fear of blaspheme into giving into the idea that blood must be shed in the name of God.
Now I imagine most religious people will be in a fevered pitch as they denounce such blaspheme and it only goes to show my point. We are indoctrinated, some even brain washed into repulsing any idea that has not been fed to you from a close family member or pastor. Before we dismiss this idea, reflect on your own knowledge of religion and see how many sound objective sources you credit for acquiring that knowledge. This is not to say that pastors and family members are ignorant or purposely misleading you, as they themselves have been heavily persuaded early in life and are passing on what they strongly feel is their obligation. In all fairness both Islam and Christianity, preach values of peace and forgiveness bringing a close supportive sense of community, in some cases. But I am afraid that these good examples are rapidly giving way to the negative side of religion as the focus shifts from forgiving and community to destroy thy enemy.

Bottom line;
Good intentions pave the way to ruin. Viewing a clip of a family of a suicide bomber declaring his oath to Allah while his mother grieves, along with close family members I asked myself how this could be happening I searched for an answer. Who can break this cycle of endless and senseless martyrdom? How when the people around you are so convinced that God decrees only destruction of the infidels will bring peace. My answer is the sweet promises of paradise for eternity for her and her children. All mothers want what is good and pure for their children. Unfortunately, they are being mislead by radical, self serving men exploiting their religion to attain power.
