There’s religion and then there’s religion
There is religion and there is religion. Some people turn to religion for simple, every day comfort, using prayer and the Quran and the Bible and the basic tenants of their faith to get them through a difficult time. If that’s what we mean by religion then I have no problem with people who turn to religion during tough economic times.
But I think we all know there’s a group of people out there who not only turn to religion but who want everyone else to turn to their religion as well. Let’s get real, there are people out there who are downright predatory in the way that they practice their faith.
These people don’t only pray their way through hard times, they PREY their way through difficult times. They wait and hope for hard times, hoping that they can use the misery of others to spread their bastardized version of Christianity. In this regard they are no different than the Nazi movement of the 1920’s and 30’s, using the economic downturn that we call the Great Depression as a means by which it can spread its virulent belief system. During the 1920s and 1930s the innocent victims were Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled, In 21st Century America the innocent victims are brown-skinned immigrants, Jews, human secularists, and liberals.
The names of the victims may change but the politics of hate and division are still the same. In the 1930’s the predatory movement was National Socialism. In 21st CenturyAmerica the predatory movement is right wing Christianity, the Millenialists who are trying to bring about the End Times and who think that a recession or depression will prove useful in that pursuit.
