The Age Of The End Of Religion
For Easter…
…all things considered, religion is responsible for more evil in the world than it is good.
Islam demonstrates its evil effect every day. It revels in its own use of “shock and awe” to terrorise us every day.
The Catholic Church disgraces itself, more every day. It seeks to excuse its own deep sin as “petty gossip” on its own most holy day.
In Palestine, the Jewish nation has become a Nazi state in the most horrific episode of hypocrisy every day. Day after day.
Science and freedom of thought is the only belief that makes sense. Faith in outdated dogma and superstition is selfish and destructive.
Religion is dead. Mankind lives.
Back On The Wire
I’m back. Apologies to those who have missed my posts. Thanks to the hundreds who have asked where I am.
Truth is that I was under the cloud of a vile, vicious, unforgiving flu virus. If anything ever deserved the unremitting attentions of the Israeli Army and everything that Mossad has to offer then it was this. Misery, depression, lack of motivation – nothing could have been more unforgiving and merciless in its attack.
I survived. Perhaps Palestine will not.
As I emerged from under this dark cloud there was one thing that helped me through. I have read about it for months. The HBO series, The Wire. I have seen it described as the best thing ever on television. These superlatives seemed different from most and as I immersed myself in the stories of Baltimore I understood why.
This is magnificent television. Wonderful characterisations not based on “star quality” or reputation but on acting ability. Utterly credible dialogue, surely much of it improvised.
What seems at first glance as just another American cop show is revealed as the very best in drama, capturing every nuance of the human condition.
I pray for the people of Palestine. I curse the evil Israeli state. I look for hope in mutual understanding through drama like “The Wire”.
