7-4-07 Seven Doctors

A couple of days ago, I rhetorically asked, "...what sort of mind will drive a human being to go through all those years of schooling to become a doctor, buy a house, raise a family, and THEN suddenly decide that it's time to blow themselves up in a Jeep Cherokee full of gasoline?" At that point, I only knew that two of the perpetrators were doctors. I did attempt to answer that question, but today I found a more detailed answer.

Now that we've found out that all of this Beavis and Butthead style anti-British activity with burning Jeeps and unexploded car bombs in Mercedes-Benz sedans was carefully planned by not one, not two, but seven doctors (maybe they'll round up even more?), I guess that we have to look more deeply into the minds of healthcare professionals?...

Really... is it necessary to find justification for the insane acts of insane people, just because they happen to also be doctors? Let's call a spade a spade and dispense with the psychological rubbish. When children are indoctrinated into insane beliefs, soaked in the brainwashing of religious extremism, we can expect that they may very well grow up to be irrational human beings. It happens all the time. Irrational human beings are all around us. I'm irrational, you're irrational, and everybody you know is irrational... sooner or later.

But the irrationality instilled in some children by religious extremists, religious separatists, and anyone else claiming to KNOW "what God ordains" is just basically criminal. I never expected to defend "freedom of religion" as the unrestrained brainwashing of children that it has become in this world. Nor have I ever expected to defend the freedom to believe whatever you want to believe as extending into the realm of criminal or sociopathic behavior, ostensibly motivated for some "greater good."

Killing people for the "glory of God" is just as insane as invading Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussein from deploying weapons of mass destruction. The mobilization of the masses to "kill the enemy" is ALWAYS based on lies, deceit, and some level of brainwashing.

The only solutions for the problems of the world reside within the hearts of six billion individuals on this planet. That's six billion individual and unique versions of how anything can be solved. Believing that all the solutions to the world's problems can be found in one book has been demonstrated to be unworkable. It's the most basic lie ever perpetrated upon mankind, this idea that there can be a simple solution to a complex problem.
