Please do not tell me who started it, I want to know who is human enogh to stop.

For the innocent


If Moses and Aaron rose up,
prophesying again Israel,
they would be called anti-Semitic

If the Prophet arose
prophesying against Islam
he would be called infidel and blasphemer

If the Christ came
proclaiming pardon and peace
there’d be no room for him either

Although they all fight in the name
of the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
it is Baal they worship.
They worship Baal
With fire and smoke and
The sweet smell of burning children.

Bravo, I am awed whenever I find someone else as mad as I. Ditto what Aberjhani wrote. And it is indeed the children who suffer most from wars destruction. Peace and blessings. <Mikii>

A powerful spiritual observation with more political and social truth than most might want to admit. Brilliant work sir.

I thought the Semites/semitics thought Baal to be a false god...crazy write, sort of for you sir...but it still says a great deal between the lines, though don't ask me to explain it, I am not smart enough for that...Peace, Ed

Why you chose Baal to blame is beyond me. Baal is not a god of war, it had to do with fertility and nature more than war.



There is no sweet smell when it comes to burning flesh, children or otherwise, it is acrid and makes one vomit.



Perhaps, in your heart, you are calling for the anti-christ, the son of perdition, the man of sin, that will arise when the world is in utter chaos and usher in a false peace for 3 1/2 years unti he decides that he is god and makes all, great and small worship him.



The hourglass is almost empty!

Couldn't agree with you more, John. And it's always amazed me that all three of these religions started from the very same root, yet there has always been some type of bloody conflict between them, since the very beginning.

I also wonder what the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob thinks of all of this bloodshed - supposedly in his name.
