Religion Is the Problem: Duality & the ‘Justification’ For Violence

Consciously or unconsciously, admittedly or not, to one degree or another, and irrespective of whether or not it is denied, every believer in the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam (or their legions of various denominations) believes in the following:
1) I am ‘good’ and deserve to be rewarded by God because the doctrines that I believe are the ‘Truth’;
2) Those who deny or contradict what I believe; and, instead, believe in ‘lies’ are ‘evil’; and they deserve to be punished by God because they do not believe in the ‘Truth’;
3) All ‘good’ people will be rewarded by God with an eternal reward, whereas all ‘evil’ people will be punished by God with an eternal punishment;
4) Because ‘evil’ people will, in one way or another, be punished by God in the ‘eternal flames of hell’, any suffering that they experience in this world is merely a prelude to an eternal and much more horrific suffering; and,
5) Because ‘evil’ people will be punished eternally, I am not only absolved of all responsibility to, in any way, diminish their suffering in this world; I am, in fact, acting on behalf of ‘God’ ‘Himself’ (and, thus, can act without any qualms of conscience) if I inflict any kind of violence and suffering upon these ‘evil’ people; literally, any kind of violence and suffering (discrimination, economic suppression, torture, rape, etc.) After all, they are going to be punished by ‘God’ ‘Himself’ forever, and ever, and ever, and ever; in the context of which any suffering I might inflict upon them would be comparatively minuscule.
These were the fundamental motivations of the Sadducees and Pharisees with regards to Jesus and his original followers; the fundamental motivations of the Crusaders and the Inquisitors; the fundamental motivations of the Nazis; and the fundamental motivations of the religious Zionists and the Muslim terrorists of today: the preservation of the ‘fallen’, dualistic, “beast of the sea” consciousness of the “self” by exterminating anyone who threatens the belief system of the ‘fallen’, dualistic, “beast of the earth” consciousness of the ‘thinker’.
Apparently, however, no one among the ‘agents’ of the “dragon”-media, or the “false prophet” religious ‘authorities’ is capable of understanding this; something which should easily be understood by anyone who is not brain dead.
