It's just another train day, Opened up my passenger tray To find a pamphlet being pushay. I know my way, I don't need to pray, What I do need is no delay, do you feel me. #agnostic #respect #dontpreach I read this "booklet" and it attempt to equate the soldiers who put their lives on the frontline on 5th June 1944, Operation Overlord to begin the end of WW2 with the 'sacrifice' of Jesus to expend all of “mankinds” sins before and after. WW2 was not a 'Holy' war. The soldiers who died and sacrificed their lives were not soldiers of a god. I'm sure many had faith in their religion, but they fought a doctrine, an evil so twisted and human it nearly engulfed the world. That 'evil' is testing its boundaries once again, that evil doesn't care what others think of it. It manipulates, it churns hatred and it exists without measure because the reality is too overwhelming to take on a person's shoulder. History is repeating itself. Disinformation, pettiness, ignorance, all these disfigurements of the truth are now more easily accepted with a shrug. To divide ourselves in to something manageable, makes our noise-ridden lives easier to understand, it simplifies our existence to an everyday level. The belief in longevity doesn't feel possible now, it's all split second decisions regardless of any consequences for ourselves and others. That to me is what the voice of religion, namely sects of Christianity has become, a scream in a crowded room. I apologise to any Christians who have taken offence at my words, but they are my words and I only mean to say that Christianity (namely the extremist white-US) has become toxic and that toxicity keeps rearing it's hate spitting head in more parts of the world than is currently being talked about. To try to scale and weigh the sacrifice of those soldier's in what has become known as a "righteous war" to that of a man who is written up in different ways across different religious scripture is, who had no "sins" himself is wrong and a hideous form of expression by this publication. I left it in a financial times in the next seat, the bankers need it more than most people
