Evil is that which prevents the unfolding of the One.

According to this definition, surely all of the patriarchal religious societies are evil. Even in its death-throes, it attempts to pit us all against each other, as economic enemies, as political enemies, as racial enemies, as religious enemies – worker against worker, white against dark, man against woman, belief against belief – as patriarchal religious systems begin and end by instigating competitiveness for survival, i.e., by trying to make communalism, mutual cooperation, impossible. Ironically, even the minimal cooperation required to keep patriarchal systems going seems to be rapidly dwindling.

Against the unfolding of the One – against the revelation of our oneness – patriarchal religious schemes ferociously pit us against each other like many rats in a small cage, like many hungry dogs thrown only one bone. If we have to keep surviving at one another’s expense, we will of course never learn, or never remember, how to live in the hope of one another’s well-being. Religion thrives on human discord; as a system it strives to corrupt-us all, buy and sell us all, one against the other.

At the very heart of this divide and conquer strategy, we must remember, is the colonization of the individuals mind and spirit by a decadent and bizarre framework whose moral and rational energies are dwindling as science advances to usurp their place.
The fundamentalists preach; rather they are the corrupt residues and grotesque spasms of a dying exploitful organization which manipulated mankind for centuries in the name of so called salvation. In the name of God, these priests, in their mercenary sermonizing, becomes the original “Capitalist” to control and own like a flock of sheep the collective souls of its followers. For more than four millennia it has robbed and exploited the energies of earth and her creatures.-Culture and Religion -Sjoo-
