We have been killing in the name of God for centuries. Billions of lives wasted on the ambiguous concept of holiness, when the point remains unforeseen this whole time. Intentionally perhaps? Or maybe we are just that stupid.
The truth is, obviously, that God does not need you to kill in his name. Why would he need you to spill blood for him? What direct purpose would that serve God that he needs you to destroy for him, is it because he can’t do it himself? He needs blood? Is that it? He eats flesh and finds earthly violence rather amusing? Or maybe he needs us to vanquish his enemies for him because he is too scared to do it himself? Of course I am setting a sarcastic tone here.
“Killing in the name of God.” is the lamest excuse for murder I have ever heard. God has nothing to do with man’s corrupted intentions, or at least the God that I acknowledge.
The God that I acknowledge does not have a gender, thus technically should not even be referred to as a “he”. The God that I acknowledge does not encourage blood shed, he does not need your worship, he does not need your help to sustain, he does not need you to force a message down the throats of non believers. He does not need your sacrifice. In fact he does not need you at all. He is the creator of every system that has ever existed, he is the energy that flows through everything and he is the nothingness that was the beginning and the end and here we are killing in his name like a bunch of inbred retards.
Just be honest, it’s all I am asking. We kill in the name of our well being, not in the name of God. We kill in the name of self-sustenance. We kill in the name of Earthly desire. Be it self-defense or plunder. We kill to live, we kill to survive. It’s simple as that. Greed, jealousy, fear, anger, envy, power, lust. It’s a selfish existence, but its the truth of the world. A concept is the most powerful weapon to have ever been sewn into a man’s heart. The implementation of a solid idea leaves little space for contradiction. We all think we are right, but we were all wrong to begin with, using God and religion to fuel the righteousness of our actions. Through this higher purpose we commit unspeakable atrocities that may even make the devil weep.
