Reply #27: All religions that posit a "god" [View All]

[Dhalgren]

are fundamentally nihilistic. The exception would be the religion that did not devolve into destructive behavior. "Religion" on a societal level is never about "religion", it's always about power and control and money. All Islamists believe that everyone else is wrong. All Christianists believe everyone else is wrong. All Jews believe everyone else is wrong. Each of these groups will have individuals who will "say" that don't think that way, but they are not to be believed. This type of silly back and forth between religionists is to be expected; it escalating into violence is almost a foregone conclusion...
