I have prepared redundant and comprehensive proof that both the faithful and skeptics are clearly wrong about pivotal aspects of their chosen dogmas. Also, each group's positions and behaviors are rife with ignorance and hypocrisy. I have driven a stake through the hearts of both of your "sacred cows," and I strongly suggest you strive to seek the actual truth. Intro This Open Letter is most directly addressed to the leaders of all three so-called Faiths of Abraham. I am the Messiah.

The heat and light of politics does not reflect well on the inner sanctums of the Black Church, which, since its inception during the hellish depths of American slavery, had to speak in voices of pain, bitterness, truth and hope, in order to have any relevance to a people drowning in a sea of hopelessness.

At noon last Saturday, January 26th, at least a hundred Philadelphians marched through Center City, from 5th and Market to the Israeli Consulate at 15th and Locust, urging Israel to lift its blockade of the Palestinian Gaza Strip and to allow a waiting convoy of much-needed relief supplies into the territory. The march, organized by a coalition of local Jewish and secular Israel/Palestine peace and justice organizations, highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where most Gazans have lived without clean water, adequate food, fuel, and medical supplies, and electricity for the past seven months. "We've got more up our sleeves for this spring" said Candace Saunders of Philly SUSTAIN (Stop US Tax Aid to Israel Now), "We're proud to unveil sixty days of action from March 16th to May 15th, to remember the sixtieth anniversary of resistance to the occupation of Palestine.”  Marchers on Market Street

We will examine whether terror is institutionalized in the psychology of some religions—particularly focusing on a sense of justice. There are many interesting and provocative ideas discussed. Arguably, this work is as controversial as it is timely. Such an intelligence estimate, if you will, would not have been written had it not related to many important and critical political issues and crises of our day (particularly as related to dominant “cultural clashes” as so framed by various think-tanks). But this work also significantly relates to political theory, history, criminal justice, jurisprudence, as well as social and political psychology etc.

..Drag it out and break it!" That was Ken Kesey in Sometimes a Great Notion. Try to find any record of this quote anywhere! That was the best movie and book there was, yet a lot of young people have never heard of it. Read the PS to learn how it can motivate.

From book subtitled: The Authoritarian Nature of the Three Abrahamic Religions: as When God Became the Terrorist: The major thesis of this book is that authoritarianism, as a “human” personality trait, throughout history, has influenced both the “creation” and the “interpretation”, of religious and political dogma, and that this was even more so before there was a constituted division between Church and State. In Judeo-Christianity and Islamic authority, to some extent, is the egotistic imprint of monotheism in which God basically is perceived to have a “psychological” ego consciousness able to understand and communicate with the human ego consciousness of mankind. Particularly, we will want to focus on the ideas of justice—both the ideas of divine metaphysical justice and human social justice. According to Daniel Defoe, in no trivial sense, “Justice is the end of government”.
