If not Now, when?

Surely it is time to restore intelligent, sane, Democratic secular government throughout the world! Over the past eight years we have all had a taste of the simplistic binary ‘us or them’ logic of religionists; the reality is that the majority of people on the planet reject religious divisionism and the associated violent ‘solutions’ of criminals, liars, demented murderers and delusional fools.

Prior to the ultra-right politics of Zionists, Islamists and American Evangelicals, the world experienced relative calm; the wars of zealots, murdering fanatics and religious lunatics were noted by their absence! The current wars waged by the USA, Israel and various Islamist factions all have one thing in common, they are ALL FAILURES! This reality is in your/our face; the greater folly would be to ignore the obvious.

It becomes exceedingly clear that the violent ‘solutions’ and policies of deluded primitives (Jews, Muslims and Christians) are not only woefully inadequate but threaten the future tenability of the human race – religionism today is/equals barbarism and nihilism! A terminal disease that threatens the social well being of any society must be eradicated if that society is to survive.

A university degree is not required in order to understand and recognise failed ideologies, and no specialised skills are required to remedy the situation. Leaders and governments are totally dependent on followers, the solution is plain and implementation is as simple as turning your back and withdrawing your support from those who lie and kill!

The precarious tenure of any leader or government is completely subject to the will of the people – it is the people who possess the prerogative of power. At present the vast majority of people support reason and sanity, however, the inaction of the sane and reasonable person has allowed the criminally insane and perverse to assume positions of power and influence – the fault is ours and the responsibility to remedy the situation is also ours.

Regardless of whatever it purports, religion remains the most divisive social force on the planet. The reality of religionism speaks louder than its lies. Religion promises much but only delivers death, slavery and misery, the facts speak for themselves. It is time to eradicate the disease and the ‘carriers’ who infect others with their poison.

Peace is achieved by actively resisting all forms of violence from discursive diatribes to physical warfare. Peace is NOT a passive state; it is a continuous (active) process.

Peace is earned not bestowed – either we act now or we are lost to the criminally insane leaders we have allowed to remain in power. Restore sanity to the world. Now is the time to implement remedial action.
