Ahmadinejad's "Purely Divine" Reasoning

Nobody’s Opinion: After listening to Ahmadinejad’s two speeches this week at Columbia University and the United Nations, it struck me that he talked quite a lot about “religion.”

Hearing Ahmadinejad talk about Moses was a bit unsettling---I wanted to say, “Hey, leave Moses out of this!” I happen to be a big fan of the Ten Commandments.

Then he started getting into the “sinners will be punished and justice will prevail” stuff.

Well, I hate to tell him this, but if he intends to spread his global Armageddon Islamic dreams of world-takeover outside of his usual hangouts, he might need to anticipate the fact that more than a few people on the earth happen to like being “sinners.”

Don’t tell me I can’t wear shorts on a hot day, Mr. Achmud---go torture someone else.

It’s a funny thing about religion. In the right hands, it can be a wonderful thing. But, as we know, Islam is really a Freddy Kruger nightmare, and more of us should be pointing that fact out. I don’t care how “peaceful” they claim it to be…making their women get permission from their husbands to go out of their house: making them cover themselves up head to toe in black in120-degrees of hot desert sun just because a dimply smile can set an Arab man into some sort of damnation denying them their rightful bed of Allah brownie points, is beyond absurd. It’s complete slavery.

And lets not even get into the cutting-off-the-hands and heads bit.

Christopher Hitchens has recently pointed out, and not without huge backlash, that Christianity has also left its horrible mark on humanity when being administered by the wrong hands.

History, we cannot deny---is full of examples. Smart and powerful men have always known that one of the surest ways to control the masses is through religious fear, and rituals.

And if you want even more control, make them fear The State as “God.”

Or get real creative and invent a global warming catastrophe, where the bishops of environmental churches demand retributions of global footprint cash.

Yesterday, I was reading John Adams and his views on the Romish clergy, and I quote:
“The most refined, sublime, extensive, and astonishing constitution of policy that ever was conceived by the mind of man was framed by the Romish clergy for the aggrandizement of their own order.”

Sound like our tax codes?

“They even persuaded mankind to believe, faithfully and undoubtedly, that God Almighty had entrusted them with the keys of heaven, whose gates they might open and close at pleasure.”

Wow…Allah Achmud.

At this point, I must tell you in all honesty that I believe there is some sort of “force” or “god” if you will. Most people do.

Whether I believe that Jesus was the son of God, or did not resurrect, or had a wife, or was just a trouble maker looking for a Divinci Code, makes no difference to me here.

What does make a difference is that by all accounts he was a pretty great guy, inspired by the spirit of “God,” and his teachings made a lot more sense than any form of Islam that I’ve seen.

Why can’t we choose sides? Why should we tolerate a religion that’s really stupid?

Why?

John Adams knew the damage of what religion can do when used by heads of state for purposes of their own; “By reducing their minds to a state of sordid ignorance and staring timidity, and by infusing into them a religious horror of letters and knowledge. In this manner, the common people were held together in herds and clans in a state of servile dependence on their lords, bound, even by the tenure of their lands, to follow them, whenever they commanded, to their wars, and in a state of total ignorance of every thing divine and human.”

Iran? Iraq? America’s public school system?

This upcoming election, it wouldn’t hurt us to remember John Adams warnings. I’ve only heard Glenn Beck discussing in length this dangerous liaison with the Masters of Islam and their belief in their God-given right to rule.

We need more.

Ahmadinejad also said that all scientists should be “pure.”

No one asked him what he meant by that…but if you go with all his “sinner” analogies, it means that the nuclear weapons he develops will be “purely” divine, and delivered by Allah to cleanse the world of sin.

I won’t even have time to put on my shorts.
