Well, here’s thrilling news: The Taliban is contributing 100 kilos of gold to any dude able to off a Danish drawer of the Mohammed cartoons, and a Pakastani jewelers association has promised another $1,000,000.
“One of the 12 Danish cartoonists who drew the caricatures has told a German newspaper he now faces at least two death threats, saying all 12 cartoonists were under police protection.”(“Son, forget about cartooning. Why not go into something safer -- like bronco busting or the demolition derby?”)
What is it going to take to get people to stop thinking they have the right to kill someone they disagree with? I know the answer to that question - it's going to take some abstract thinking that will make people admit that they might be wrong - but I can't figure out how we get to it.
ReplyDeleteI still wonder if the answer lies in getting mothers across the world to see that if they let their babies grow up in warrior-god religions, then their babies are going to *die* in warrior-god wars.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of repeating ad nauseum the fact that we are dealing with *warrior* gods, here, and PRIMITIVE warrior gods at that. Primitive gods cooked up when people lived in primitive and brutish nomadic desert tribes.
The warrior gods were invented when people had reverted to a primitive, barbaric way of life. The Mother-Goddess peoples preceding them were so much more successful and complex, with their multi-storied buildings, their indoor plubming, their sophisticated art, their ocean-going ships, their ability to keep everyone healthy and prosperous.
Starting with the mothers is always a good idea. Now, how to do it?
