So we have senators voting to go to war against a country they don’t know anything about.

And through all their bluffing and bloviating, is the reason they’re doing all this because of their religion? Like, they see themselves as "Soldiers of God," so they’re going to "go to the Middle East and kill all the infidels!" because they think a "Holy Crusade" will launch them straight into Heaven?

Ugh.

I’m super tired of apocalypse cultists. I really wish the mainstream Christians would step up and step on the poisonous offshoots that are turning the world against all Christianity.

I think one of the worst thing to ever happen to the human race and the world was the advent of televangelists. Because it allowed backwoods pseudo-Christians to share their cult with the world.

And yeah, I can speak badly about the actions committed by the followers of a religion. It’s my opinion that they are spreading great harm to everyone and everything around them. They are actively causing harm to the world, and if we’re not allowed to call them out for THEIR ACTIONS without being accused of religious intolerance, I really feel that the 90s mission of tolerance has been led askew.

Countries should not be going to wars that involve guns, missiles, drones, poison gas, and NUCLEAR WEAPONS because of someone’s religion-fueled life mission.

And that some of the people backing up all the craze are desperate alpha/beta/sigma/delta LARPers that masturbate to the idea of full-flexing on a group of enemies and dry humping their dead bodies? Double ugh.

I’m just like "You wanna show off your BIG alpha cock to the WORLD??? Then it’s time to break out the Robot Jox! We don’t need to turn the world into a post-apocalyptic hellscape where even rich people can only afford a single hotdog because meat is so expensive. We could just set up stadiums and stream the fights and each country and each country’s team can make a buttload of money. And nobody has to die."

Seriously, a real man/real woman that wants to protect their loved ones and have a safe haven home that’s basically a warm womb for their beloved children would be 100% anti-war.

You don’t want people busting into your home and robbing everything you own and/or hurting your family? Don’t create a hostile environment.

Dudes should not be dressing as cops and murdering people in their homes.

Cops should not be dressing as cops and kidnapping and murdering people.

Police officers and military personnel should wear clearly identifiable uniforms WITH uncovered badge numbers. I think there should also be some kind of easily remembered nickname/callsign on their uniform. That way if someone can’t remember the long badge number, they can still be like "Officer Mad Cheetoh Dog was the one that helped us out. We’re really grateful he was volunteering at Toys For Tots today. It was good that his utility vest had a fully stocked First Aid kit including Narcan and an epinephrine auto-injector he knew how to use."

We all want to feel safe and happy. It’s only the weirdos that are desperate for conflict and war. Everyone else just wants to live their life and not be bothered by creeps and bullies. The kind of people so horny to oppress others that they’re willing to be horrifically murdered to have just one opportunity to successfully force someone else against their will.

There’s a movie I saw that’s about the end of the world. There’s some cosmic event happening–giant sunflares?–that will result in the death of all life on Earth within a handful of hours. And the main character wants to spend his last bit of time alive at a big party rather than alone with his girlfriend. But on his way to the party, he ends up saving a little girl that’s been kidnapped by pedophiles and tries his best to get her back to her family before flaming death hits the planet.

It wasn’t the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it makes you think: What would you do if you knew you only had hours left to live? What would other people do?

It’s like The Outer Limits (1995-2002 version) episode where during the night a scientist realizes something has happened to the sun and the other side of the planet has already been burned of all life. And when the sun comes up in his hemisphere, he will die with everyone else.

He had to decide whether it was better to wake people up and let them know they will die at dawn, or if it is better to let people sleep through their deaths. Undisturbed and vaporized, or upset and horrified before being vaporized.

In the scenarios from that movie and The Outer Limits episode there is nothing anyone can do to stop their deaths. But right here and now?
