1.
[Deity is defined as all-compassionate
by numerous cultures.
But oppressing,
enslaving and slaughtering animals is the antithesis of compassion.]
2.
[In reality this deity is utterly ignorant regarding nutrition. Animal flesh contributes to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and a legion of other diseases. The inevitable conclusion is that humans interested in profit made up these scriptures in order to justify the brutality of the meat industry in particular and oppressing animals for profit in general.]
3.
[Doesn't the above read like something that a businessman would claim God desired, namely, as Gen. 1: 26-28 says, that humans are to subdue the earth and have dominion over other creatures? But for those who are subdued or dominated, whether the creatures of earth, or economically enslaved humans, the condition is hellish, not heavenly.]
4.
[Equality has always been
divine law. "Love your neighbor as your self" is an economic law. Those
not sharing equally in "Acts" are condemned. The Essenes were communal,
owning nothing personally and everything collectively. The original Jews
were tribal and we may conjecture, collective, much like Hindu cultures
that gather around religious worship and enjoy the same food, shelter and
clothing. This is not to say that some Hindus, and their offspring,
Buddhists, have not fallen off the path of equality.
In a nutshell, the Torah,
the New Testament, and the Koran
all have scriptures that
sanction
slavery,
resentment-breeding societies of rich and poor,
the disease-promoting
diet of carnivorism
and cruelty towards animals,
male chauvinism which leads to the battering of women,
and bigotry towards homosexuals which leads to hate crimes against gays.
As the objective reader can see, if such views are said to be the views of an all-loving Deity, then there is not much need for a devil, for the god of these religions sanctions the very things that demons are in charge of in demon cults that honestly acknowledge what they are.
It is necessary always to emphasize that there are pure remnant Jews, Christians and Muslims that have remained true to their egalitarian and vegetarian origins. These groups are inevitable persecuted by the majority sects.
Persecution of Minorities
by Majorities:
Unacknowledged Religious
Wars
1. There are about a million people jailed in the U.S. for no other crime that practicing Shamanism, using or distributing herbs or substances created from herbs, for their own benefit. Shamanic people are not persecuted in most third world nations.
2.I have been informed by an Arabic source that Sadam Hussein persecutes the Shiites, many of whom are vegetarian, who claim that the cousin of Muhammad, Ali, was the true lineage of Muhammad's teachings. That lineage would acknowledge the Sabean or Shauvite source of Islam, whereas orthodox Muslims do not.
3. The United States, the bastion of orthodox Christianity, and its military, acknowledged as the most powerful in the world, invaded Buddhist South Korea, and Buddhist Vietnam, both times violating the will of the natives of those lands, as well as invading Iraq and Afghanistan, Islamic nations.
4. Moreover, the Christian U.S. and Israel, the center of Judaism, were the main supporters of the apartheid government of South Africa. Richard Cheney, vice president of the U.S. as a senator voted against boycotting the racist apartheid government of South Africa, and he was vocal in stating that he did not want Mandela to be released from prison. In other words, the Vice President is a known supporter of slavery. Moreover, not one person in the government or in industry in the U.S. was so much as slapped on the hand for supporting the racist apartheid government of South Africa. The former Premier of South Africa, Botha, formerly apologized to the world for his part. No apologies came from any member of the U.S. government, or from the many industries that profited off apartheid.
