Quote of the month - February 2015

 (Mikhail Bakunin)

We are currently seeing real time medieval ritual killings via an Islamic cult in the Middle East.  It would be prudent to understand the concept and basis for why this ritualized murder is taking place.  As it falls deep into their theocratic 'day of judgment'  (Yawm ad-Din) beliefs.  That death and war is necessary to bring about the day of judgment, when they will be resurrected and judged by their god.       

This of course puts forward the moral landscapes of our civilized society, that harbors killers, that feel justified in their actions.  It also reveals the absolution and justification by 'faith' to kill unarmed and innocent civilians - in the name of religious scriptures.  If we are to move forward as humans within the cosmos, there needs to be analysis and broader insight to why we, now in the 21st Century, are still connected to medieval and superstitious practices that justify murder.

"All religions are cruel, all founded on blood; for all rest principally on the idea of sacrifice — that is, on the perpetual immolation of humanity to the insatiable vengeance of divinity.” 

Mikhail Bakunin, God and the State (1882)
