The End of the World

[Strider]

Man, you guys just do not understand.
Are you satisfied with the status as it has been?

I want to see people unmolested by tyrants, their property in their own possession,
an end to evil people creating war, false religionists murdering those who will not bow to them, no more government of the rich for the rich and by the rich.
Theft and lying standard behavior.
Can't you see- the players change but the game never changes.
The players have to be replaced- and not with more of the same.

The above is not death wishes.
It is the desire all of you have for justice and truth.
It just happens that I believe it will only come from above. By force.
Yes, I am watching the clock.
Look around, things are not normal.

Hi, professor. Naturally, we would like an end to these dreadful things as well. I would argue that your statement regarding "false religionists" is off the mark; the adherents to Islam (which I assume you're referring to) engaging in this brutality are most likely the "truest" religionists (as far as Islam is concerned at any rate) due to their fundamentalist interpretations of the Qur'an.

In fact, many of these things you have mentioned are the direct results of religion. Evil people create wars precisely because of religion. Are we to believe that the cause is somehow simultaneously the cure?

The problem I have with Christians (as well as other theists) is that I see a lot of hand-wringing about this "fallen world" but precious few coordinated efforts to make it a better place.
