While U.S. drones continue to kill women and children in the Middle East, ISIS burns down a library in northern Iraq, a library which harbored an ancient Egyptian sand glass, now destroyed forever. ISIS burned over 8000 books which are gone forever because of an ancient twisted believe in God. (

While I still think all governments are liars and only concerned about the well being of the rich while the middle class toil away because they don't want to be homeless, I find it very disturbing how the luxury of books is denied anyone. I could be wrong, but I'm willing to guess religion plays a huge part in the ISIS U.S. conflict.
ISIS more than likely brain washes its psychotic and mislead followers into the belief that the entire U.S. is a Christian nation. While our very own coins and bills have the words; 'in God we trust,' there just words. Many people in the U.S. claim to be Christian, but they don't go to church and frequently ignore the ten commandments.
A young child growing up in the Middle East gets caught up in the words of a disillusioned ISIS group and beliefs 100 percent of the U.S. citizens are evil Christians who won't rest until the rest of the world are Christian or dead. Hence other religions join the fight against Christianity and hell on Earth becomes a reality; terrorism in all aspects, poisoning of mass food products, suicide bombers, anthrax in city water and countless other ways to murder.
Demented people such as Sonoma County's (nor Cal) own Matthew Beck who brutally stabbed two women to death because the women were demons in his eyes. That's the lovely power of religion. Incidentally Beck is out of jail and can come and go as he pleases as long as he attends therapy classes and submits to random alcohol and drug testing. These are the kind of people that go to heaven according to the Bible.
Religion, I believe wants complete control of the mind and body. It wants everyone to be the same in both action and words, no individually whatsoever.
'...my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.' Ecclesiastes 12; 11. So college and other forms on non religious thinking is bad for the mind according to the Holy Bible King James Red Letter Edition.
'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.' Ecclesiastes 12; 12.
Keep his commandments? Hmm...
Exodus 20; 13; 'thou shall not kill.' / ...'as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males'. Numbers 31; 7 from the Bible.
'Thou shall not kill' is a loose term used for religious and political hustlers for their own demented ways to acquire more money and power.
Getting back the above verse about reading too many books. (Ecclesiastes 12; 11) That verse is telling its readers to really limit yourselves to the books your read and acquire as little knowledge as possible unless it's the contradictory words of the Bible. Blind faith is lame and dangerous in my mind.
From what little I've read in the book of Hinduism, it blows the Bible out of the water thus far in my reading. For example true Christians will say and believe all Hindus are going to hell because they believe in the wrong God. Hindus on the other hand would embrace a Christian because they still believe in God, Hindus don't judge and set forth ridged and ridiculous rules among its followers like Christianity does.
Some Hindus and the book of Hinduism advocates the believing in one God or many Gods and it's OK no matter what your believe is. Christians and Muslims for example want to kill each other because many followers of both of these religions want to thrust their believes on others and if they don't submit to their believes, murder is OK.
'If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman...in transgressing his covenant And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either sun, or moon...which I (God) have not commanded...bring forth that man or woman which have committed that wicked thing (not being Christian)...and stone them with stones, till they die.'
Again, exact words from the Holy Bible. It's OK to kill anyone who does not think and feel how you do if your Christian. ISIS and Christian believes are a huge part of today's wars and murders.
