Yes, millions of people believe in nonsense for which never once in history has even the most marginal scrap of evidence ever been presented. A combination of ignorant superstitions getting the ball rolling on that and enforced indoctrination perpetuates it. Are we good so far? That creates a massive stable of sheep that can be manipulated at will by whomever is in a position of assumed authority.

Now, these authorities need not buy into the same bullshit that their idiot sheep do. In fact I think we can almost certainly say that the majority don't as they seem to be enjoying a bit too much power and privilege and have no shame about parading this in front of the entire planet because they know because of the size of their flocks, they're untouchable. Still with me?

These authorities that use this power to exploit the lower classes, whether merely bilking them out of their tithes or encouraging them to stir up violent conflict (thus keeping the lower classes battling one another rather than seeing their true enemies and eliminating THEM) are psychopathic and sociopathic. They are all as human as you or I but they somehow psychotically believe that they belong to this bizarre hierarchy above that of human that entitles them to this position, god-granted or not, and their complete and utter disregard for other humans is where the sociopathy comes in. Still awake? I'm almost done.

So, in conclusion, whether or not these ruling tiers of religious authority actually drank the Kool-Aid themselves, they are actively psychotically and sociopathically dangerous because they want to maintain their positions and increase their wealth in spite of it being only able to be with them during their short life, as short as any of ours (or, a bit longer, according to health statistics; turns out being rich, having no stress and access to the best medical care and diet and whatnot does wonders). They will exercise any means of reinforcing this at the expense of others without a single thought or compunction and they take for granted that the people beneath them have bought into their sales pitch hook, line and sinker and will take it upon themselves to perpetuate their own enslavement.

Since the most prominent religions' own documents make it transparently obvious that it's nothing more than the earliest mass-marketing campaign, it's impossible not to have someone using it for just that purpose. Whatever form it takes, isn't exactly relevant as long as it demands unquestioning loyalty and deference to assumed authority, and the tithe.

Am I getting through at all? Did I just waste my time on a troll?

I have no reason not to agree with you on all what you kindly presented.
In your opinion, which countries or continents will be hit by the Islamist Terror (or alike) in the 20’s of this century?

In every great world’s game, there are winners and losers. The losers, in the today’s long ‘World Terror War’ that was launched very clearly on 9/11/2001, are obvious; they are the ordinary civilians/citizens anywhere on the planet. But perhaps we live an exception in human history and there are no big winners behind this international long war against civilians.

Anyway, I personally will not be surprised if the big winners from destroying Europe in WW2 planned (actually their present generation) for its re-destruction, now by Terror, proven being unbeatable. But they had to spread this terror first in many countries around Europe in order to isolate its European civilians from fleeing south or east, when their turn will come. Now, the terror wars that were launched since year 2011 in north-Africa then Middle East will have to go on for another 4 years as planned.

I wish I am wrong but the European civilians will not be the last victims of the diabolic series ‘War on Terror’ in which all systems in the world (playing pro or anti, left or right, capitalist or socialist... etc.) had/have to be involved in covering up the terrorist crimes against their civilians (starting from its first episode). So I wish you will have a long life to witness in the future all what I am saying here... that sounds now non-sense, if not idiotic Wink

I consider the follow-up to be largely irrelevant. Islam isn't the only threat to peace and civility in the world and it needs to go just as much as Christianity and any other irrational belief that encourages self-deception and all that it invites. That many majority-Musim countries are sitting on quite a bit of petrol is probably the only reason the entire thing hasn't faded into obscurity. Unfortunately while most of the believers who do present a genuine threat are victims themselves of this psychological abuse, because they have become agents of their delusion, those of us in the rational camp have no choice but to regard them as enemies in order to survive. It's like how everyone in the Matrix is unaware they've been enslaved but are so dependent upon it that they'll invite an Agent to take over their body to stamp out threats to it; you don't have any alternative but to eliminate them, there's just no saving them.

If there is a war on terror it is as ill-defined and ill-fought as the war on drugs or poverty. Even calling it what it should be, a war on religion, would be counter-intuitive because then even the pussies will feel threatened and get all up in arms. So there's no easy solution to any of this. All we can do is let rationalist voices be heard every time some dumb shit blows themselves up or lets their kid die of a perfectly treatable illness and say, "We've said it all along! This is what your religion is! Wake the fuck up!" Some people hear it, occasionally. It's all we can reasonably do. Until the numbers start getting more even there's little else we can do; politically, being an 'out' atheist is a death wish. When we're the most reviled group compared to an organization that shuffles around pedophiles to keep them from being prosecuted, you can't possibly look at the world and see anything but darkness.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
