Religious belief, the passion and emotion of
spiritual guidance emanating from a divine source
responsible for the creation of all that exists is
a true enigma. What force of existence created the
Master of the Universe? A Master with many guises
as evinced by the human construct of many religions
all advancing themselves as singularly authentic
manifestations of the one true God, all others pale
imposters. Whose adherents must be called to
the paramount representation of the Holy Spirit.
Among all religions held sacred by humanity one only
appears prepared to sacrifice its young just as did
ancient religions of the past that propitiated the
moods of their pantheon of gods through human
sacrifice of the youngest and most comely among
them. Beyond the devotion of pagan forbears one
religion whose faithful span the globe remains
fixated as of yore by the injunction to promote
conversion by jihad and of necessity resorting to
violence against one's enemies refusing to surrender
to the faith. Where children are impressed and cajoled
and bidden to martyr themselves as soldiers of the
faith represented by impassioned Islamists grooming
the young for blessed martyrdom that results from
bloody violence. A primitive reversal of other religions'
schooling of their young in the time-honoured qualities of
mercy and forbearance, tolerance and peace among all.
