FEAR OF DEATH AND THE DAMNING OF LIFE ITSELF IN THE SHADOW OF THE AFTERLIFE


FEAR OF DEATH AND THE DAMNING OF LIFE ITSELF IN THE SHADOW OF THE AFTERLIFE

Fear of death has led to faith in death and the emergence of a fanatical creed that believes more in life after death than life here and now, and wishes to send unbelievers to that damnation where they supposedly belong on account of their absence of faith in the one true God that deserves to be submitted to and worshipped. This death cult and others of a like kind have by enforcement of precept reduced life itself to death for hundreds of millions, leave aside the actual perpetration of horrendous deeds to appease their tyrant God. When messengers of peace fight wars, they leave behind instances for followers down the ages to emulate and drench humanity in righteous bloodbaths. Time it is to resist all such arbitrations on human life by archaic messiahs and prophets, and to take life into our own hands and fashion it as per enlightened reason and brewing wisdom that is the distillation of the experience of past ages. May humanity cast off the veil of ignorance thrust upon it by its prophetic past and stand shorn of all such obstructions in the way of clear vision and enlightened free living !
