Pat Regan: Shout, shout louder - and keep on shouting!

Mental delusion, concealed hate of others and blind indoctrinated fundamentalism (that’s regurgitated from the divisive discourse of manmade, error and contradiction – ridden, biblical texts) may be valid excuses for vociferous, pious. self-righteousness.

Nevertheless, it’s so amazing that these types of extremist zealots are still barking out their discredited yet socially divisive theological jabber and even more amazing that others are actually listening to it.

So, what about so-called ‘End Times’?

Biblical cranks have been yelling about their generation being the last one, ever since the first century. Every single End Time prediction has failed because it was of course false.

However, this fact never stops preachers shouting out their fear - based propaganda in public, to anyone susceptible enough to be taken in by it.

Start small and work up the God Business into a powerful and mega - wealth industry...

Still, everyone has to start somewhere small I suppose. Loud relentless street preaching can by tedious and offensive to people who remain immune to religious indoctrination techniques. Nonetheless, it does at times lead to serious wealth for the more talented committed, 'shout-a-lot' , pastors out there.

Amusingly, these mega-wealthy pastors appear to be working in direct opposition to their own chosen credo. Have they forgotten this one?

'Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.'

'Matthew 19:23-26 King James Version (KJV)

The truth frequently resides in the opposite – and you can bet your bottom dollar that a deafening guy with a microphone (who’s yelling that he knows ‘the truth’) is usually the last one you should trust!

Fundamentalism in all its guises is a serious threat to world stability. Moreover, the extremist leaders in positions of power have the ability to make the calls and put the rest of us in grave jeopardy.

Once they start implementing laws and decisions based on so-called 'God's Law', rather than the legitimate legal system, we are all potentially in big trouble. Their brand of usually concealed religious credo can have significant risks for us all.
