RE: The Moon Tonight: Thoughts About a "Quiet Death"

Exhaltant is a word that describes zealots. I can't believe it's turning into a Christian v Islam war, despite all it's dressings and guises - or maybe I can believe, as the signs have been there all along. I was reading how it was even pitched at military - this is all God's plan, and that Christ is coming through this armageddon - what the actual fuck. It's insane. How can you condemn the percieved zealotry of Shia and not turn the light inward to see it's own fanaticism? Maybe you understand it more - Australia doesn't have anywhere near the amount of religious fervour you see in the US.
It just makes me think that most of the world is occupied by absolute idiots. But then, trauma begets trauma - there's a whole tangent I could go down here. There will be no end to it. The moon will always rise, and people like us will be feeling it hard whilst others carry on their psychopathic missions, until this little planet spinning in space is devoid of life at all.
Zealots. Do not underestimate the influence of the religious right in the U. S. Without the religious right, Trump would never have been elected president. Huckabee, ambassador to Israel, has spoken about the desirability (From the Guardian) of Israel occupying most of the ME:
“Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose...It would be fine if they took it all...basically the entire Middle East...The Levant … Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon – it’d also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,”
Couple this zealotry with an outsized, perhaps cognitively compromised, president, and you have endless war.
Perhaps cognitively compromised? Of course he is. Anyone fighting this war has to be.
