Subject: Last Word on Religion
Only two monotheistic, mutually antagonistic religions exist on
earth in which all human beings believe.
The first is US-ianity, whatever provincial religion a person was
born into and grew up surrounded by.
The other is THEM-ism, which is what everyone who isn't like
oneself or one's neighbors believes in.
The True, All-Powerful God of US-ianity and the Lying, Conniving
Devil of THEM-ism are each defined almost totally and exclusively
by the believer's idiosyncratic local customs, language, history,
race and gender.
Whatever rational or philosophical tenets may accompany the
practice of these religions are reduced to the parroted-words
monkey-chatter that passes for abstract objective thought in who
can only mimic it, and any logical contradictions that arise
between those tenets and how they impact actual practice goes long
unrecognized, and requires no reconciliation, because believers
possess no mind capable of noticing them.
In actual practice, the rational and philosophical basis attached
to either of these religions is irrelevant and superfluous to their
true aims, which are dedicated to self-interest, self-delusion, and
personal vanity, made to appear less "self-ish" by being SHARED,
mirror-like, by other selves in one's community functioning
similarly, i.e., at their lowest common denominator, in order to
widen the range of mutual self-interest.
Animals in herds or packs worship their own god, Survival and
Suffering, in exactly the same way -- but human beings
disparagingly, call that "Instinct," and feel superior. Because
only human beings, being unique as "rational" animals, give their
gods imaginative names and ascribe to them abstract qualities,
magical, supernatural or "spiritual" (depending on the degree of
complexification of their linguistic talent) --never realizing that
when they believe a Word is a Thing, they take the first step
toward losing the gift of "reason" that elevated them above animals
and begin a long, cumulative descent into a form of insanity
(dissociation from reality) that makes them not only less
"human" (from confusing speech with thought, words with reason) but
inferior to animals in the latter's ability to survive in the real
and wordless world.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substanceânot soap-boxingâplease! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'âwith its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright fraudsâis used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
