Come,Let Us Reason Together

People have by and large rejected religion as a way of guiding them through life.Religion has had its day.Even traditional mainstream orthodox religious institutions of the establishment have had to water down their core beliefs to such an extent they have been rendered inutile,enfeebled,emasculated,etiolated and reduced to mere ritual and formality.The old dog has had its day and to the extent that it endures it does so in such an abridged,corrupted, debased and compromised fashion that even its dwindling adherent are merely going through the motions and paying lip service to a creed they long ago abandoned in their minds and daily life.Where the original fundamentalism persists such as in Izlam we see the full flowering of barbarism and nihilism in action -suicide cult followers,primitive anti human tribalistic sub humans in their pre-civilization excrescence hell bent on genocide of their own kind locked in a sectional death grip,driven like crazed beasts to the very brink of collective anhiliation,reduced to an irrelevant back water of stagnation and decay.So,religion flounders in its own inexorable logic of death and people turn elsewhere for sustenance.But where do they go?Into the arms of another false comforter and liar,the State.God is dead,long live the State.But now again,another false God,the God that failed lies exposed as an impostor and fake.The deliverer of false promises and bromides,promising salvation in the form of a welfare cheque and a seductive promise of a life without effort or care -'from cradle to grave'.A new Jerusalem -check out the religious imagery and linguistics.For those who cannot take their religion neat we have a bastardised version -salvation without tears and wailing and gnashing of teeth.Except,ah except it is a tale told by an idiot,full of empty promises and dashed hopes.There is no social security.It is a lie,a monstrous lie and most of us fell for it didn't we?Could it be that just as we have come of age and abandoned childish fantasies of some supernatural being who is going to free us from the irksome scary business of taking responsibility for our own life we may too come to see the folly of handing our lives over to clay footed government operatives and agents of the State who seek to buy us with the very money they pilfered from us in the first place, like a dodgy car salesman but without the ethical integrity? I will take a wager they just might and it is on that premise that I dedicate and persist with this my blog.The field is wide open for anyone who will care to take up the challenge.You will have no rivals as all the political parties without exception are singing from the same hymn sheet.We are lacking only the will passionate intensity and conviction.Only!Well,the Left have all of those things in abundance.They have no claim to them.We do.What are we waiting for?
