The Newest Religion.

[Theland]

Have you noticed all of the component parts of a new world religion emerging around the world?
It consists of all kinds of elements, some of which are gathering a fanatical following.
The emerging leader of this hotch potch of so far disparate movements appears to be the Pope.
He has tried like his predecessors to promote Ecumenism, amalgamating all religions and atheists into one body under the banner of, "Peace."
Who can argue with that?
It is very enticing.
Now the Globalists are being tentatively invited on board, along with the Social Justice Worriors, and of course, no party would be complete without the Climate Change Movement and the New Green Deal.
These are just some, but not all, of the elements coalescing together for the New World Order Religion, and it gathers pace with every new conflict, or new data from the climate change community.
Add to this, the emerging cashless society, the more interference from government and corporations, and the stage is set, whereby free thinkers will be branded apostates and forced to conform on pain of economic isolation and penury.
Watch the news carefully, and you will see all of these elements becoming more prominent.

Jack //From the Latin religio, it means a binding adherence, so therefore does not necessarily involve a deity.//

I'm not sure that's a good translation. The origins of religio are obscure (see Wiki) it appears to be the addition of the prefix 're' (again) to 'ligare' (bind). Whatever, I was taught the important syllable was 'lig' in the word religion - as in 'ligament' & denotes a binding to a religion & not of people, so the involvement of
deities is implied.

Naomi - If all you can do is name calling, then don't expect a response from me.

[naomi24]

No name calling here. Simply an observation of your rejection of any attempt to promote peace and of your hatred of the pope. As for expecting a response from you, that would be silly. Responding is not something you do - well, at least not in any meaningful way.

[Theland]

Yes anybody can wave a peace flag, even the head of an evil institution like his.
If you buy into it, good luck with that.

[Theland]

Apart from self promotion, I can think of no other reason, Naomi, why you post on here at all.
Your future is assured, and you are welcome to it.

[naomi24]

I don't 'buy' anything, Theland. Perhaps that's why I don't hate as you do.

[naomi24]

Theland, //Apart from self promotion, I can think of no other reason, Naomi, why you post on here at all. //

You'd know all about self-promotion - and if you'd rather I didn't post here Theland, all I can say is 'tough'.

[Theland]

Then address others. Not me.

I am not sure that's a good translation has been argued about all concerning all 'the versions' of all Holy books.
As Douglas Adams parodied, God was bewildered as he gave them the script... but it lost something in the translation.
Shame the Muslims can't plead that one, the 'interpretation' excuse.

[naomi24]

Oh no, Theland. I reserve the right to refute your ramblings.

7 OP. Some of us dig a little deeper than comedy science-fiction writers.

[Theland]

And some of us only have, "I don't know, " to offer.

[naomi24]

Who's that then, Theland?

[Theland]

Those who don't know.

[naomi24]

Don't know about what?

[sevenOP]

"7 OP. Some of us dig a little deeper than comedy science-fiction writers."

And I truly commend those that do Khandro, as most of the humans on the planet are affected by religion - and that may probably not change any time soon - so I hope those good
and worthy stalwarts can get to the bottom of it.

But please! don't follow the pilpul.
