Rastafari Speaks

Anti-Religion (injustice) VS Religion (justice) *LINK*

When I use the word RELIGION, I am speaking of the strongest ideas and belief held by a person. Those ideas shape and modify that persons thoughts, speech, and/or actions. I find it necessary to modify the term RELIGION by adding the word "correct", so it would read "CORRECT RELIGION". It compensates for the fact that incorrect RELIGION does exist and injustice is predominate in the minds of many people.

There is much evidence to support the postulation that says white supremacy is currently the foremost and damaging incorrect RELIGION in practice in the known universe. Using this terminology, its easy to see why justice cannot exist while people don't have strong ideas, and beliefs to make possible the correctness of thought, speech, and actions to achieve justice.

In the purest sense, RELIGION is Justice. It is logical to assume Justice is better than injustice, hence, the term religion should be preserved for describing justice, rather than injustice. For example; the UICCSC suggests the term SEX be used to describe correct "use" of male and female interactions, and further recommends the term "ANTI-SEX" be used to describe deviant, objectionable, destructive, or otherwise hurtful interactions between males and females. This brings to mind the term "ANTI-CHRIST" and further, may help to explain the reason why the term RELIGION ought to be used to describe correctness in behavior (ie. thought, speech and/or action).

We must recall, the White Supremacists best and most lethal weapon is deceit. Deceit helps to kill RELIGION and promotes ANTI-RELIGION (Incorrect Religion). In other words, victims of racism need to have strong ideas, and beliefs to guide their behaviour to resist white supremacy, and to replace white supremacy with justice. That need is the very definition of RELIGION.

....I think its important to note the name of a person's RELIGION is insignificant. The "PURPOSE" of a person's RELIGION is what IS important.

If we want a system of Justice to exist, AND if the system of Justice IS itself religion, then how can we NOT need religion? If we are breathing air, we can't say we don't need air because it exists inside our lungs at this moment. Religion is Justice and Justice IS NEEDED, in all times, in all places, and with and between all people .

How is it so many people have come to disassociate themselve with the word "Religion" when the term Religion is supposed to represent the most excellent condition of human existence?

I think the introduction of division in religion is where the problem is. The words Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoastrianism, and a million others are not unlike color classifications, are all points for division and conflict.

The truth is... RELIGION IS ONE. Logic dictates it is constructive to think, speak, and act in such a manner as to reveal and/or establish RELIGION as one inseparable and/or indivisible concept and reality. Again, I must state here, the name of the religion is NOT important, while the purpose of the said religion IS important. This is the reason why a person should only desire to know what a Religion requires of another person, and/or what the religion requires of another person when that person sees the first person.

As for the purpose of RELIGION, it is logical to conclude all thought, speech, and action emanating from a claimed Religion MUST not mistreat people, AND must help the people most who need the most help. If these things are NOT achieved, then Religion is NOT achieved.

To revisit the UICCSC...

Under conditions where white supremacy exists is it possible for Religion to also exist? Do Christians exist? Do Muslims exist? Do Jews exist? Do Buddhists exist?

Answer: No.

Religion cannot exist in the same place as injustice.

A person can claim to be a member of a religion, however, the claim is only realised when the purpose of religion is achieved.

It is logical to conclude no person who claims Religion can ever succeed in their performance of Religion unless the purpose of religion is also achieved.

Religion is only achieved when Justice is achieved. A person can "practice" religion.

Practice is not perfection, however perfection is not possible without practice. A person who desires Justice to exist should practice Religion in all times and in all places in the known universe where they have influence.

If Religion in Universal, then perfect performance of Religion means Justice is achieved in all places at all times and between all people in the known universe------Bilal
