116: RELIGION AND POLITICS - revised and enhanced.
26 January, 2008
Religion and Politics – the bare truth and facts

Religion is, in fact, the superstitious fear of the unknown, felt yet unseen, and/or seen yet unattainable; and Politics is the science and art of government, and the management of public affairs – the public's interests, safety, security, stability, welfare, and well-being.

These are the dictionary's definitions of Religion and Politics, and these are exactly what they are supposed to mean and be, BUT! In real life, Religion is a farce, composed of elaborate lies, myths, and hoaxes; and Politics is a game – a very dirty and nasty game of jostling and maneuvering – pushing shoving kicking elbowing growling barking biting back-biting and back-stabbing for position and prestige, posture, money, and power.

Jostling and maneuvering – all of the above for position, prestige, posture, and money – exist in Religion as well, to an equal if not greater extent – albeit in a more subtle, well-hidden or camouflaged form – and all, not for the worship, love, praise, and glory of God and his families, relatives, friends, and colleagues; or for the welfare and well-being – physical, mental, and spiritual – of the Masses, BUT, for more and greater position or post, prestige, posture, and power.

Religion and Politics are two sides of the same coin, or system, or means, of divide and rule. They both evolved at the same time, AND! They have joined forces – one cannot exist without the other . ALSO! They both survive and thrive by suppressing, oppressing, conning, coercing, duping, cheating, lying to, stealing from, intimidating, threatening, frightening, cajoling, manipulating, subduing, and exploiting the people – in a nutshell: screwing the (M)asses – that's Masses without the M, or (MASSES – M) = ASSES!

Religion and Politics are the source and the means for those who practise them, and the bane and the cross for those whom they are practised on.

My late beloved Mama on Politics: “Son! Politics pollutes people, and all Politicians are Pests and Parasites who face one direction while walking in the opposite direction. In other words, life, for them, is a straight line, A–B; they walk toward A but face B; and they talk A but mean B.”

Life is A to B means Humans, or APES, are born to die, from the cradle to the grave; and in-between, they pay their taxes and their bills, invoices, dues, and fees, and make totally obnoxious nuisances of themselves, but for all Religious Clerics of all Religions all over the world and all Politicians all over the world, it's A–B with nothing in-between; for the rest of us, it's A to B.  Sorry, no further explanations. If you do not understand and/or cannot work it out, ask me……

My late beloved Mama on Religion: “Son! Religion is the same as Politics, if not much worse, since it professes – actually pretends – to worship and glorify God while serving and comforting Mankind, or APE-kind whereas in reality, it’s all for us and none for all. However, the People, or the Asses – that's Masses without the M – subconsciously (deep down in a remote but very sharp corner of their brains) know this and that is why Moslems need large loud-speakers and Christians need large loud bells to remind them and call them to prayer(s).”My Mama knew a thing or two and she was nobody’s fool, and she did not raise me to be a fool, either. I am nobody’s fool who fools nobody but fools. BY GOD!
