New God In Baja
It’s a pretty heady mixture we’ve concocted. First we made a whole lot of things to kill people, we have them stored and ready to be delivered by
huge rockets all over the globe. Then we brought back the Holy Wars. The old Holy Wars were mostly fought on the ground or on horseback. A Holy War
is fought between people of different religious faiths – the differences in their Gods, their faiths becomes the thing that drives the killing but the
armies use many reasons for attacks; territory is the big one, water, oil and crops are often involved.
You have to have a good reason to kill another human being. The good reason in Holy Wars is that your God “told you to kill the infidels, infidels
are those who have their own Gods, no Gods or any entity that is not your God.” That’s all there is to it. Pretty simple stuff really so to return
to a peaceful condition around the world and insure a peaceful future for all we just need to have a great Reformation. This new Reformation must be
the Mother of all Reformations; we need to find a Brand New God who hates wars and killing. He (it) needs to be a benevolent being who forgives every
human who ever lived for any wrongdoing before, during or after his life on earth. He says “you can never get to the new, better heaven if you kill
another human being.”
The Brand New God will need a brand new Bible or Book of Rules. This new one needs to be very, very simple, easy to read, translatable in all major
world languages so that the meaning of the words cannot be misconstrued by those who might later become Separatists like the English Pilgrims or
Fundamentalists like many modern cults who seek to kill others in the name of Religious Revision or Re-interpretation of religious doctrine. In my
view the moral/religious/passion chapters in various Religious Rule Books are fanciful and sometimes archaic and barbaric. Some of the teachings
advise the faithful to kill others, seek revenge, sacrifice animals and people in the name of the supreme entity lauded in the book. It will be
necessary (in all the languages the new book is printed in) to make sure the title contains the words New and, of course, Final.
To make the New Religion work we will need to give people incentives to join. The best incentive would be to offer a heaven on earth; this will
entail redistributing some wealth right from the get go. Sexual satisfaction is the big promise of some major cults such as the Islamic
Fundamentalists so along with wealth redistribution there will have to be some sexual favors passed around soon after initiation. The theme can be
tantalizingly simple: Heaven Now, Wealth Now, Sex Now, No Waiting.
It might be a good idea to have the Brand New God make a statement that The New Religion has no problems with current Gods/Dieties. New God can
allow that there are many other Gods, that He is not the Only God but to get the Heaven Now, Wealth Now, etc.etc. new believers must affirm that they
worship Him above all other Gods. (He would have to be the Head God). He can say he really is not a Brand New God, that he has been here all along,
watching, waiting until he was needed. He didn’t step in until the nuclear rockets/Holy Wars situation became critical.
When he’s on earth, he lives in Baja Sur. |
