OH, THOSE DARN CHINESE

The Christians in China who refuse to attend the state-approved church and meet “underground” privately to pray and worship and so forth are complaining that the CCP is increasing it’s oppression of them. Just them, apparently, since they don’t mention the equal or possibly even worse oppression of all other religions, like Islam, Tibetan Buddhism, the Uyghurs, Falun Gong, any faith, practice or philosophy other than the Chinese Communist Party Line is not tolerated but I never hear any Christians speak up about this when they complain about religious oppression.

It’s always just the Christians that are being oppressed. Which is one more example of why I consider them to be the worst hypocrites of all. Some would accuse Muslims of that, but they not only admit that they lie to and cheat non-Muslims, their Koran states that it’s part of the practice of Islam. When they tell you that Islam is a religion of peace, they know they’re lying to you, but they’re supposed to, to be good Muslims.

“Christians” don’t practice Christianity. They make up the rules as they go, and change them as it suits them. Jesus specifically said to always pray in private, so of course all the “Christians” get together and group pray in public. And so on.

Christianity is good for keeping people in line and controlled, but it has too many weaknesses to stay in control, and America is proof of that. Islam does a better job but is too unrefined, too crude and savage, it split into factions and because it preaches violence and death, they end up killing each other endlessly.

The means of governing humanity probably hasn’t been created yet, but when it is, it’s pretty certain that it won’t be a religion.

THE PLANET WRECKERS

Just watched an entertaining and well done video of a massive starship’s voyage to the Alpha Centauri star system, to a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star, to spread humanity to a new planetary home.

One of the big issues presented was a need to ensure diversity of the passengers destined to populate the new planet, they want to be sure that all races are represented and this diversity maintained right up until arrival, and not become homogenized through intermarriage, though that wasn’t specifically covered in the video. Neither was the subject of diverse religions, only that they should all be genetically compatible.

The fact is that we fight over race, along with a lot of other more valid reasons that are still all self-defeating. So I hope that if we do manage to take over some distant planet, we have learned how to stop killing each other first. Otherwise we might just as well stay home and do it.

Besides that, why should races be included that never helped advance Mankind? Like Negroes, who invented nothing except the burning tire necklace, Australian aborigines, American Indians, Samoans and so on. Diversity is woke bullshit, it’s not practical, especially in a 100 year star trip.

Then, what if this is how races propagate in the Universe? Life is probably common, maybe that planet already has an ancient civilization on it of Worgles or even Zoggoths. (Oh, horrible thought). Our intrepid travelers may end up as lunch, or freeze-dried and turned into watch fobs. Seriously, there’s no reason to expect to be welcomed, by anything that might already be there on this planet that’s judged suitable for humans.

Personally I don’t think that we’ll be fit to visit other star systems to colonize them for many thousands of years yet. For a few explorers to wander the stars and see what’s there, fine, but considering the horrible mess we’ve made of our own planet with no real effort to clean the place up, we shouldn’t be allowed to go wreaking havoc among the stars. First we need to learn to get along with each other, stabilize our population and dispose of our trash without generating any pollution.
