The GREATEST LIE IN HUMAN HISTORY
There is, sadly, no evidence whatsoever that would stand up in court of
the existence of "GOD", or indeed of ANY kind of ghost or extraterrestrial.

Logically, believers in "God" are cowards: people who refuse to accept what is in fact obvious. And once that refusal is MADE, the consequences are staggering: the creation of CULTS that seize people's minds and lead them to behave irrationally - and often with extreme cruelty. ISLAM is the prime example: true believers commit the most appallingly cruel and hideous Crimes of Humanity in the belief that they are serving their "GOD". A belief in "GOD"means a rejection of both LOGIC and HUMANITY.

"ISLAM and Christianity are equally bad." NO, THEY ARE NOT. The core message of the first is the total antithesis of the second. "But Christians have ALSO committed horrendous crimes." NO, THEY HAVE NOT. The people who murdered fellow-humans in the NAME of Christianity were NOT "Christians". What they did was the TOTAL ANTITHESIS of the message of Jesus Christ, who never said a cruel word or committed a cruel deed in his entire life. The minds of the fake "Christians" of the Spanish Inquisition who used their cowardly need to believe in a cult to delude themselves that Death is not the end of all existence were warped - rotted. One may truly say: "Religion Warps The Mind."

The mass-murderers of ISLAM over 14 centuries, on the other hand, were doing EXACTLY WHAT THEIR version of "God" commanded them to. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. Both Christianity and ISLAM are based on delusion, but at least Christianity was born of the Human Spirit. Jesus Christ was an inspiring but MORTAL human. He HAD no "Father" in Heaven, but he WAS a role-model for the ages. Muhammed, on the other hand, was a vile, narcissistic, pedophile,misogynist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, slave-owning and mass-murdering psychopath.

Both cults sought to increase their membership: Christianity by word and deed - and ISLAM by brutal war, rape, enslavement and murder - AND THAT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. Muslims are in general totally and completely convinced that Muhammed really DID have a visit from "GOD" on a mountain and that "Allah" really HAS commanded them to spread belief in him over the entire world - by brutal force, murder, rape and enslavement if necessary.

WHY do people believe in such delusions? Because they make DEATH seem more acceptable.

FACT: EVERYTHING LIVING DIES. We know this from a young age. Having a pet as a child is a good way to understand and perhaps accommodate oneself to the concept of death. But there is no getting away from it: though Death is 100% NORMAL it is still HORRIBLE - both in thought and fact. One understands and even "accepts" this but that does not change the fact that WE WOULD PREFER IT OTHERWISE: not perhaps even principally for ourselves but for loved ones, and even those one never knew but "loved" nonetheless, and whose death brings sadness. I have a long list of people whose death many centuries ago and/or whom I never knew personally saddens me.

EUPHEMISMS? These PROVE that we find death horrible. In social media and elsewhere one usually sees references to people "passing", not dying. "Passing" somehow seems softer, as if they pass to somewhere else. But they do NOT. They no longer exist. They can only "pass" into the ground and rot - or be incinerated into ashes and kept on the mantlepiece or thrown into the sea or air. Then of course is often written "R.I.P"., but in truth those who die are not resting: they simply cease to exist.

DEATH is indeed so horrible that from early times humans have invented something to help them believe in an afterlife to pretend that they will not die. In South America and Ancient Greece, Rome and no doubt thousands of other places all kinds of "Gods" were invented to explain the unexplainable and avoid the in fact "bleedin' obvious". Humans latched onto them as a psychological protection from the horrible thought of Death, which as Mr Keating in "Dead Poets' Society" famously remarked, simply means that we are "food for worms".

A belief in a God avoids the need to face the existentialist facts. Some faiths are so dominant that they eliminate the need to think about death completely - or EVEN how to think about leading one's life. ISLAM, for example, prescribes the entire way of life that a devotee must follow. Any FEAR of death is thus totally avoided. In theory there is no HARM in this if it brings spiritual tranquillity, but it all depends on the nature of the CREED that is followed. The messages of Jesus Christ and Muhammed are complete opposites for start.

The Amish so beautifully portrayed in "Witness" believe totally in "God", but their communities and way of life are full of peace and community spirit - certainly compared to many other societies and religions. ISLAM, however, is associated with pedophilia, misogyny and utter bigotry including homophobia, totalitarianism and a total rejection of other cultures. It is essentially NIHILISTIC and the ANTIITHESIS of the Human Spirit - and yet highly successful thanks to the extreme brutality in which its founder set the example. REFUSING to convert can bring DEATH - trying to LEAVE the cult likewise.

Advice to Muslims? If you MUST believe in a delusional fantasy then pls choose something NICER: there is no shortage of choice. Why choose a cult that has murdered some THREE HUNDRED MILLION INNOCENT HUMANS over 14 centuries based on the ravings of a lunatic psychopath? The ISLAMIC message can for example lead to CHILDREN murdering their PARENTS who commit some "crime" under the totalitarian Sharia Law. "EXTREME" (in fact 100% devout) Muslims are led to commit the most barbaric crimes on fellow humans: ISIS and HAMAS are prime examples. IT IS INSANE.

ANIMALS are interesting. Some mammals share over 90% of the DNA of humans. Do THEY go to "Heaven" when they die? I think not, so why  should humans? What is so special about us?

What is staggering is the GALACTIC sum of misery that religion has caused: from sacrifice to an Aztec Sun God in South America to the burning of heretics at the stake by so-called Christians or the mass-murder of those refusing to convert to ISLAM. ALL BASED ON UTTER FANTASY and COWARDICE. COWARDICE? Yes, because it takes courage to accept that DEATH is the utter and final end of our existence, that there IS no afterlife, no SOUL. BELIEVING in the latter is a spiritual tranquillizer - but it is fundamentally dishonest as the total rejection of evidence, logic and reason.

Just think: IF I AM RIGHT, then the MANY HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people who have suffered torture and death at the hands of believers: the heretics burned at the stake, the witches drowned, the countless millions who died in battle - THEY ALL SUFFERED for NOTHING - NADA, ZILCH, NICHTS: just Man's lunatic delusions. YES - IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MOSTLY MEN TO BLAME, especially in ISLAM.
