PEACE THROUGH REASON


Fortunately the CREATOR wants us to be happy.

Unfortunately we each have a different concept of happiness.

Fortunately the CREATOR has given us many "holy books" to help us find happiness.

Unfortunately we have many different interpretations of these "holy books." Thus we jews are expecting a Messiah, who will bring understanding, and put US on the top of the heap, though we know not by exactly what means. We muslims await the Madhi, who will lead us to ghenna, though we know not by what route. While we christians are waiting for Jesus, who will do something or other with a "rapture," though we are not precisely sure if it will be as a result of fire and brimstone from heaven, or like a thief in the night, or what.

Fortunately the CREATOR has given us free will, and the knowledge of good and evil.

Unfortunately we don't always use our free will to choose the good and eschew the evil. And so a nation which calls itself "christian" will spend two hundred billion dollars this fiscal year to construct devilishly destructive devices, which do nothing but evil.

Fortunately these "christians" are expecting fire and brimstone from the skies to accompany their "saviour's" judgment.

Unfortunately they have stored their devilishly destructive devices in the Sangre de Christo (Blood of Christ) Mountains in New Mexico, and will deliver some of them from the Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) submarine.

Fortunately those who lead into captivity will be led into captivity, and those who would bomb will be bombed.

Unfortunately when the fiery judgment falls, it will fall upon those who paid for the bombs -- the taxpayers.

Fortunately the prophesy will be fulfilled according to each different interpretation. The wildest imaginings will be realized.

Unfortunately prophesy may not be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the "christian" taxpayers and theologians who can see no way to save the world other than by destroying it.

Fortunately the CREATOR will remain. So JUSTICE will prevail .................. a bomb for a bomb, and truth for a lie.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE EARTH, FROM WHICH ALL LIFE SPRINGS, AND TO HUMANITY, FOR WHICH IT EXISTS, ONE WORLD, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Thomas -- 1982
