Once Upon a Time

Group One

Once upon a time there were some people who thought it was their God-given duty to kill, or control, others who didn't think, or worship, like they did.

Group Two

However, there were some other people who thought God had told them to kill, or control, others; because others didn't think, or worship, like they did.

Group Three

Along came a third group of people who said, "Please stop killing each other!"

The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend?

Suddenly, instead of just killing each other, the first two groups had a common enemy. They hated the people who said to stop killing, or controlling, others due to religious beliefs.

Conclusion?

Since the third group did not believe in killing and murder

• they had no guns
• they had no suicide vests
• they had no biological poisons
• they had no GPS guided missiles
• they had no over-paid lobbyists and CEOs flush with cash from selling weapons
• they had no mass-media propaganda campaigns swaying and rallying public perception
• they had no gaunt (or rotund) "holy-men" claiming God wished everyone converted or dead

The third group stood, unashamed of their beliefs and explained them to everyone. This made them an easy target and easy to kill.

So, the first two groups joined together in killing everyone from the third group quickly and without resistance.

After everyone from the third group was dead, the first two groups didn't stop to celebrate. They immediately resumed killing each other. Why? They replied, "Because 'God told us to.'"

Editor Note

If you think God is ordering you to kill someone else, please let me interject that I think this is wrong. Please read some simple beliefs about God.

Study life, not death. Study giving, not taking. Don't look to control, but to set free. Worship God; more thoughts about God.
