The points here:
• Subways seem to be a favorite target of the terrorist murderers.
• The most vicious violence always seems to come in the name of some religion.
• The followers who executed the attack were well educated successful men. But obviously they had a screw loose.
But the whole point is these men were under serious mind control from this Aum Shinrikyo cult, which was led by the fat guy named Shoko Asahara. This really troubles me because it seems that humans have this need to be "programmed" by something. If it's not some whacko religion then people are getting programmed by the "world." See, we all have to be getting PROGRAMMED by something. So, how can you tell what's really your true thoughts and what has been PROGRAMMED into your mind? Don't ask me.
As far as religion is concerned, yes, people have done good deeds in the name of their God or whatever, but all the bad they have committed has far outweighed the good. And if it's not violence it's subtle bad things that people are doing in the name of their religion, like disguised hatred, intolerance, self righteousness, judgmental attitudes, and the list goes on.
And who is to say that a Baptist is any better or any more right than an Aum Shinrikyo follower? "Because we ARE! Because I JUST KNOW IT IN MY HEART."
The fact is, all religions are cults to some degree. While some religions are tolerant, most think that they are RIGHT and that they have the ONLY WAY to whatever.
So, I just love to watch educational TV as I fade off to sleep each night. The shows just kind of permeate into my consciousness, and I float into this nether-world in between the TV and my dreams.
There's your Christ, Ms. Bradberry.
"Ahhhh, that's evil. That's wrong. That ain't Christ — that's just some crazy person. Shame on you for even suggesting that. Bad, bad, bad!!!"
