ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THE DRAFT:

FINAL VERSION
Orthodox religions are akin to football teams; pick a colour to support and trash the opposition. Even ‘believers’ are infidels of the opposition team. Far better to do a root analysis and increase understanding of how we got here; after all, the football teams are playing the same game: obfuscation and mind control.

Obfuscate comes from the Latin prefix ob- (meaning “over” or “completely”) and fuscus (“dark-colored”). That fact gives an idea as to how the word can refer to making something difficult to see or understand—much like how dark, dirty water makes it hard to see the bottom.

For freethinkers, when our time and energy are so important to us, it’s better spent researching those who are pioneers in heresy. One such heretic is https://www.maurobiglino.com, where the Naked Bible will explain the origins of all the football teams and why they are largely irrelevant to what may be on the horizon.

“When translated in a literal way, or “naked”, the Bible is wildly different from how it has always been narrated: there is not any almighty and all-knowing God, and there is no notion of eternity.”

He is to be congratulated on his rejection of the Hadith and Sharia. However, when he says, “This idea of ‘us’ versus everyone else, perceived as ‘Kaffirs’ or non-believers: the Quran does not talk like that” – it makes me wonder if we are reading the same Quran.

Whoever wrote that book is absolutely obsessed with ‘non-believers’ and frequently revels in the terrible fate that awaits them in this life and the next. This occurs on virtually every page of the Quran.

If anyone should disbelieve this truth, then let him open the Quran at a random page and begin to read thereof. Verily he will come upon a verse berating the infidel, even before his mind becomes numbed by the deathly prose of that soporific tome.
