PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Religions know the psychology of one voice. Jesus started talking against Judaism's corruption and created an entirely new interpre-tation that became an old and new version of holiness. The story grew as time went by and he walked all over the "holy" land. So many sacred feet had tred there before him but not one mention except for some really bad apples like Baal and Money Changers. This is how it works. Convince a disparate group of men to follow you and leave their wives and children to feed the poor and watch you walk on water. The mandatory miracles like water to wine and curing leprosy are pretty standard beliefs and the more fantastic, the more believed. We have a long way to go as humans in the realtiy interpretation departments. We just believe because we need something greater than ourselves to explain why our lives are horrible from time to time or perpetually and the "story" keeps us from suffering alone (or something).

Actually, it has worked for 2019 years to keep people of earth oppressed and not taking control of the bigger resources. That still belongs to the Pharasees(or somebody). The cost is your soul, but a new religion can take care of that if ethics and real moral righteousness are your absolute motivations. It seldom works out. Upsually, greed works its way in there and lust and some other really old testament evil. Apples got a bad rap, and we really do belong in gardens, aka gated commubities.

Amazingly, that is not a human goal, to make the earth an Eden for everyone. No worries, free food, pastoral peace. Is it me or is that pretty ancient since there were no computers or cell phones, internet or texting possible in the olden times? Food and not being killed by a rusty blade were powerful draws for believers back in the day. What would a new religion's attraction look like in Jeruselem in 2019? Free SUV's maybe and vacations to anywhere you choose six times a year. Maybe.

Today's promise of heaven would not have gates made of pearls,stacks and stacks of installable video games or music might substitute for angel wings and a seat at the foot of a throne. We would not need mansions or spend our lives sending up bricks of gold before we get there - actually those seventy seven male virgins is not too shabby from my perspective. Female believers truly can not become virgins again so the twist works in the new order, the new sacred belief systems will see less biased heavens and paradises. Bring in the male virgins! How did sex become a draw in Islam? Talk about totally oppressing females on earth for preservation in paradise. Most religions have odd notions attached to them that are usually out-grown over the centuries.

I want strawberry ice cream, but I'm odd. Just remember, one voice can change the world. It is time to become a prophet and start a world cult. Preach anything you can imagine, say it is inspired from heaven, and thousands will empty their pockets, (did I say that out loud?) flock to your cause. One voice and we're off. Attention all poets!

.

The whole point, that is beside controlling the masses, is for religion to grant peace while you go out and exploit your patch of the earth's wealth. Greed and avarice and selfishness and egomaniacal tendencies always show up though. The poorest denizens of earth are taught they will always be poor. Oh dear. Buying for a buck and selling for two bucks is not that hard. The bigger you are and the better you are at it, the wins far outweight the losses and certainly outweigh paying taxes and employees. Go forth poor of the earth and sell something. If you only have yourself, use a condom.

Just a few ideas about how to get and stay rich so that the laws of god and man no longer apply to you. Rich people do not go to jail for their felonies. I should have started at age five or six, but I had bad mentors who thought working in a five and dime or K-Marts was a lifetime achievement. We really have come a long long way.

.

I'm just saying that truly the oppositie of what I believe to confuse you. Peace, wherever you can buy it. :D
