The much hyped
selection of the Pope heralded by white smoke obscures the divisional
fires in the Catholic Church and obscures the reality of politics that has
dominated the Church since its inception, best exemplified by Popes who
sold pardons to enrich themselves, had illegitimate sexual relations and
children and manipulated their spiritual authority to be king-makers and
urged ignorant common zealots to participate in the genocide and
atrocities of the Crusades. The last Pope manacled by outdated doctrines
rejected married priests, ordaining women, contraceptive use and even
condoms to prevent AIDS. The irony is that he and the princes of the
church live in regal splendor and condemned liberation theology while
sweeping under the rug homosexual abuse by priests. In America, the
Catholic Church is often a sanctuary for a cabal of closet homosexuals to
indulge in perversion to the detriment of their flock, while masquerading
under the camouflage of divine cloaks. In the third world, the church is
notorious for bribing the poor to achieve conversion by unethical means
and as always has been the fifth columnist for colonizing propaganda as
history bears out. This is not to take away the fanatic dedication of many
devout missionaries who out of their fanatic, illogical but genuine
beliefs, have sacrificed their lives to succor the poor in the Darwinist
third world. It is about time that the third world with its poverty,
susceptible to such religious exploitation compounded by its
discriminatory practices towards their downtrodden and oppressively
exploited castes, wakes up to the potential of divisive manipulation of
freedom of religion to create a subversive traitorous fifth column under
the guise of the umbrella of freedom of religion, which is nothing but a
newer strategy for neo-colonialism.
Christianity, while a truly decent religion, has never been practiced by
the West, as its sordid history of colonialism and slavery proves. On the
other hand civilizing the heathens has been a pretext for economic
exploitation and manipulative subjugation throughout the history of
European colonization. China is to be lauded for rejecting the
hierarchical domination of corrupt political popes by insisting on the
independence of its church and India should sever this last bastion of
servitude, to avoid being condemned to a repeat of its dismal history. The
Pope is nothing but a political animal pretending holiness with the hidden
purpose of spreading Christianity to maintain the hegemony of the
Christian West. It is difficult to blame the oppressed and poor
untouchables of India or the deprived of Indonesia, but the example of
East Timor and the ferment in Northeastern India should serve as a wake-up
call for the proverbially stupid Indian power elite who can barely see
beyond their corrupt noses, the next election and their privileged
undeserving existence. The reform and enlightenment of Hinduism from its
orthodox prejudices is essential for the security and salvation of the
nation, more than emotional appeals for Ram Mandirs. The retarded
ineducable Hindus have not learnt any lesson from the appeal of Jainism,
Buddhism, Arya and Brahmo Samaj, that posed ancient and recent challenges
against oppression by ritual and caste, with privileged exploitation by
the priests chanting monopolistic mumbo-jumbo.
It is the nature of the ignorant, oppressed, uneducated and destitute
hungry, to succumb to the lure of instant monetary reward or gratification
by the bribery of food and other necessities for survival. This is the
primary lure of Christianity and Islam, both subversive to national unity
in an otherwise uneducated, unsophisticated, and politically naive, but
very susceptible to superstition, astrology and religiously gullible
populace. It is not by superiority of intellectual sophistication or
logically rational arguments that conversion is accomplished over a free
thinking group of individuals. Their poverty and need are catered to by
exploiting their gullibility, ignorance and desperation. It is then, the
nature of the converted to hide and suppress the real reasons and for the
sake of achieving respect and respectability from their progeny, and to
espouse their adopted religion with even greater devoutness and fervency,
thus propagating fanatic and irrational believers as our experience with
Islam should make us aware. Until we achieve the essential goal of
providing economic security for our teeming masses, it is sheer folly to
leave them exposed and unprotected against the subversive manipulation of
the Western religions and Islam, with arrogant certainty, rich purses and
scientific ignorance. All religions are opiates for the masses and means
of exploitation as well seeds of future murderous conflicts. The dilemma
of freedom needs to be balanced by taking away the monetary resources of
these crooked preachers without restricting their freedom to preach and by
countering their propaganda by genuine altruistic charity and concern by
the native Hindu, Jain and Buddhist organizations with reform of our
prejudices.
Religion and language are two factors that can prove to be insurmountable
divisive wedges even between a single ethnic group, as our experience with
Pakistan and Bangladesh should alert us to. Other examples abound in
Ireland, the Balkans, Belgium, Indonesia and current Iraq. Another oft
neglected entity is marked economic disparity, a malady prevalent in
India. The history of the French and Russian revolution and the current
problems of China and the future problems of America should alert the wise
to avoid that pitfall, but India and its self-serving leaders are
notorious unable to read the handwriting on the wall. The docile nature
and apathy of the Indian masses with their subjugating attitudes based on
Karma and the punitive theory of rebirth to atone for past sins, is
rapidly losing its grip on the mind of the common masses as the rising
rate of criminal behavior in Bihar and the former UP bear out. No
democracy can be maintained in the long run where the majority is no large
middle class and have-nots have no hope of fulfilling their rising
expectations. The Indian electorate may be naive and unsophisticated, but
those who bank on its persistent stupidity and ignorance are even more
naive, as the persistent voting for communists in West Bengal and Kerala
prove.
