How does one make sense out of barbaric behavior? The current scourge on humanity are humans who behave like subhumans. No feelings, not caring about their own deaths, sheep to callous rulers. And subjugate women as slaves. In this century, how is this ideology able to take hold? Able to demonize those who are not the sheep and kill them with no compassion. These heathens, sociopaths, have no real concept of the gift of life. The precious lives all around. Death and destruction are worshiped and more important than love and understanding. We are all capable of listening to our lower brain stem instincts. We evolved from lower forms, but some get stuck there. We have seen this throughout history. Dictators whose lust for blood had no bounds. Kings whose armies laid waste all those in opposition who crossed their paths. Religious zealots killing for their god. Yes, we’ve had that before. Way back in time.
History is now today. The middle ages are alive and well living in the primitive recesses in the minds of ISIS followers. How do we pull these lower forms of humanity out of this mindset? Do we just kill them? Throw them in jail until they die? Reason with them? They are children following a leader. Children who haven’t figured out how life can be wonderful. Disenfranchised by mainstream society. Angry enough to commit suicide believing their god will reward them. This is what happens when there is no skepticism. This is what happens when religion takes over the thinking mind for evil purposes. How do we combat this tyranny? How can we follow the golden rule for this subhuman element? The simple answer is: we can’t. Society must rid itself of this scourge and we will. We have already started the process of elimination and now there is an interesting and unexpected outcome from the heinous act in Paris. We have solidarity with other affected countries. Even with Russia. Perhaps as we destroy the leaders of this scourge on humanity, the sheep will cease to follow and wake up and become human again. We can only hope.
