The Real Culprits & Road to Change

As usual Humanity overlooks the real Culprits Religions of Certainty – The greater the Certainty the greater the danger to humanity.

These Religions of Certainty based on "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation text which labels Other as not only less, evil, duplicitous but more importantly unable be swayed to change their minds either because God or the Devil have condemned them to such a condition.

This enables the genocide as represented by the 9/11 Terrorist attack and the recent responding Norwegian Terrorist Attack.

Instead of attacking "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation Text and stopping the real culprit, as Plato pointed out so many years ago, from informing each new generation of hatred against Other – Otherphobia we continue to attack and destroy human beings their homes and dreams for the future.

It is so simple delete the "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation Text of Religions of Certainty which informs adherents that evil against Other is OK and the Terror will end.

Otherwise broken bodies and dreams end in bloody conflict year after year.

9/11 after 9/11 after 9/11 after Iraq after Afghanistan after Pakistan after Indonesia after Malaysia after …. and as in the past another Terror group under a different name but exactly the same "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation Text the cause.

Change the "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation Text or the Tragedy so easily avoided continues.

The Secular Government as they have done in the past must advise Religions there is to be a review of Religious Text to remove such "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" text which is enabling Terror and it is to be aligned to Modern Human Rights tenets.

Road to Change:
Understanding:

• Foundation Text = Ethics = Ideas = Motivation = Action For and Against Other
• There is no such thing as Freedom only the relative Independence Nature and Fellow Humanity allows
• If Humanity took time, to take time to reflect on the meaning, purpose and utilization of “Clear Thinking” prior to the creation of hardened bastions of prejudice and certainty, the future, which is all Nature, we and our children have, would be a much better place.
• A Society to function in security and peace requires a common accepted ethical basis for its relationships otherwise violent schism will occur. 
• Coercion is necessarily a part of state-building and continued state-security.(a)
• Human history shows Nothing in Society is Permanent. The adherents to various ideologies within society, even within so called pluralistic Democratic societies, need to be continual subject to eternal vigilance to make sure they remain subject to agreed base ethics in the education of new citizens. Such as Other not being seen as evil, Other acknowledged as being able to reason with as much understanding as adherents on the various subjective notions of 'Truth' and not necessarily subject to 'grievous harm' for having a differing faith. As well in particular, equality of women enabled at all levels of power if security is to be maintained.

Action:

• Establish specifically the Foundation Ethics of a Modern pluralistic Democratic Society which will inform Constitutions and Laws which will guide relationships. Based on Modern Human Rights Standards particularly as they apply to women.
• Call together all religious faiths and interested secular bodies to establish the requirement "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" vilification of Other to be removed and the status of Women to be raised to equality in all things with Man be instituted in Foundation Text which are used for the education of new citizens.
• The Governments to utilize the expertise of the Legal, Human Rights, Psychology and Sociologist professions to assist Religions change their Foundation Texts to the required standards and advise Government regards a specific Religions concurrence and achievement in reaching the required standards.
• Education of new citizens be it via Secular and Religious institutions be required to make sure no text vilifying Other is allowed to influence the nature of these new citizens. And these same institutions be required to instruct new citizens on the meaning, purpose and utilization of “Clear Thinking” for the specific purpose of ridding humanity as much as possible of prejudice against Other.
• If religions do not concur their status as a religion are removed and their ability to educate new citizens removed as much as possible from their sphere of influence.
  
  The removal of their ability to educate is done by: legally designating them as entities not allowed to teach their creed publically; legally designated as an organisation and individuals to which it is a criminal offence for other individual citizens or groups to give wealth in any form for the purpose of maintaining and promoting the creed ; confiscation of property and accumulated wealth from the organisation.
  
  Any Governmental funding is removed and expenses for making sure they adhere to Societies requirements - which may even mean the costs of a internal Societies security services to protect fellow citizens because of their Foundation Text informing their adherents of evil against Other to be leveled on such a Religious Group.
  
  NB: Confiscation of property and wealth and halting finance are extremely important for as history shows overtime it has the greatest affect in reducing and even eliminating creeds. Just two examples Pagans vs. Christians in the Byzantium period and Henry VIII – whoever controls the secular controls the outcome over time which is exactly why this terror is occurring, an attempt to coerce the secular and in time control it. Also the above would apply as much to secular as religious organizations whose text contains demonization of Other.
  
  It is not an intent to destroy any Religion or Secular entities but to hold them to repeated statements their dogma is only created for Peace - we know with certainty, because we have the multitude of graves to prove it and the "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" foundation text which causes it before us all, these statements cannot be made without justified challenge.
  

If we endeavor to set up processes where each Human will have to finally take responsibility for their circumstance, action or inaction rather than have a convenient Other to blame and exploit this is clearly going to be a challenging process. What other real choice has Humanity for resolving the terrible outcomes of Religions of Certainty?

I am of the opinion however difficult there is really no other choice. To continue as we are is to accept Permanent Terror and violent schism in our societies where one or other of the Religions of Certainty prevail – in a continuing cycle of violence.

What is proposed is not a panacea for Humanities tendency to devise processes, however bizarre, to try and gain power over resources or women at the great expense of Other or women; it will simply become much more difficult to set up such dangerous and exploitive processes within a Democracy.

We know the cause - it is not Particle Physics - let us together create with our own hands the peace, security and with it increased prosperity which is only possible by deleting evil text against Other.

Two things: Process to change "insulting, dangerous, and wrong" Foundation Text and Control of Education - In this way the possibility of the creation of hardened bastions of prejudice and certainty will be minimized if not stopped once and for all and with it the Terror and enormous waste of resources which can now be used for improving our lives rather than for just protecting them - with vast armies and internal security entities.
