This blog is not a repeat, it is a reminder. If you did not read my prior blog about the "Poison Pill", you should go back and read it. Here is a summary. The human race has had, over time, many different religions that competed for the minds of us humans. When serious organized religions got started without the aid of a "written language" that produced books that could be passed around, there was little competition between religions. As the different religions got bigger and bigger the competition for new believers got more intense. The religions responded by adopting the "poison pill" which taught that their religion was the only true religion and all others were false. With this new idea, once a mind had been converted, it was unlikely to lose it to any other religion. Great, except what happens in the end?
Rather than finding new minds to convert, the focus of religions shifted to keeping the minds that they had converted. The end was a "war" between all the human religions. Since the Muslim religion came along "after" the Christian religion, they were first to adapt the "poison pill". It is the dogma of the Muslim religion to allow Muslims to kill non believers which includes Christians. Isn't that what this "poison pill" business has degenerated into?
Like many concepts when taken "too the limit" have very unwanted outcomes. I could site all kinds of things that look good to simple minded liberals that turn out "in the limit". to be very bad.
PS--The thing about the "poison pill" concept as all religions accept it, is that only one religion can have it right about the "here after" and all others are wrong. Since they all can not be right a much more probable situation is that "all" are wrong. The human race needs to get beyond religion and all it destructive aspects. Religion is like weeds in your garden. As the weeds start taking over the garden , at some point you have to get out the "Roundup" and kill them off or you will starve. When is the human race had enough of religion? It will not be soon enough or we are all going to be dead.
Remember Eastern Island and listen before it is too late.
