doggie treat

Fear is always the road to hell, paved with golden intentions, which transforms every wrong into a right, because they're all committed for the love of a cause.

Our religions give us meaning and purpose, in other words, but only the kind that lead us to want to kill each other and die for, rather than the kind that would lead us to see how our differences make up for our limitations, rather than blaming our limitations on our differences, which religions encourage us all to do, by telling us that by doing so we are uniting with the "body of Christ," which the Christian thinks of as a spiritual-superman of the sort Germany was seeking to create biologically during World War II, which they think in turn gives them the right to treat anyone who doesn't agree with them like the body of Christ. 

Religion's do this by encouraging intolerance for a difference of opinion on things, from the opinion on things declared to them by their God, because they choose to "believe" in the very kind of God that would share such a thing with them, and no one else; and then tell the former how he's going cast all of the latter into hell for daring to doubt the what the former says.

And he told them, and no one else, this "infallible truth," so they would be willing to do whatever it takes to avoid being thrown into an eternal pizza oven for failing to "believe" and obey their "divine" lord and master - one which encourages them to think of death as the door to life and to drink blood every Sunday from a chalice like a coven of vampires as a way of reaffirming this - out of pure love and joy for that "divine" lord and master. 

And put in such a situation, who would not be willing to murder the whole world to save themselves from such eternal misery, and win instead for such spiritual domestication, the doggie treat of heaven, forever after.
