Dogma is an illogical ignorance embraced by humanity. It doesn’t matter if the dogma is political or religious, adherence to a dogmatic premise is an admission of the inability to reason. Dogma gives rise to intolerance. Intolerance is the offspring of fear and dogma married together in an incestuous wedding of the baser instincts of humankind.
Dogma is a “how to” manual . Dogma is the prescription written by a very small ruling elite that for some reason, feels that they are entitled to tell everyone else how they should live. The authors of dogma live above the rules of behavior that they have prescribed for humanity. They would then of course, be the ‘enlightened ones’ or the “illuminati” if I may be allowed to steal a phrase from the conspiracy theory proponents.
In general, dogma is dressed to be something other than what it is. Dogma served up as just dogma is cold, sterile, and unappealing. Dogma must be spun into something acceptable, attractive, patriotic, politically correct, religiously pious, and saleable. Dogma puts on a mask named ‘the war on terror’. Dogma puts on a suit named ‘right to life’. Dogma puts on a pair of shoes named, “you are either with us or you are against us.” Dogma would be the strings that are attached to the simple minded followers of the demagogue preacher. Dogma would be the argument used by politicians to wage wars of aggression on nations that may have some resource that the politician has an eye on acquiring. Dogma is the corrupt by product from subverting legal government. Dogma is a corrupt manifesto of corporate America that is locked into a full blown purchase of a government that was “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Dogma is greed put into practice by corrupt persons that are never content with having more than anyone else, these corrupt persons must have it all. Dogma is the politician, preacher, or businessman who believes that their end justifies any means necessary to accomplish the dogmatic goal. Dogma is without conscience, ethics, morals, or values. Dogma is hypocrisy in practice and theory. Dogma is the Congressperson on the take from corporate America.
Dogma is the rationale used by the religious politician to wage preemptive war on a fabricated enemy. An enemy that was in very real fact, the product of national policy gone woefully wrong. Dogma is deceit in practice. Dogma is theft in action. Dogma is a very real genocide being perpetrated on a people of a different religion. Dogma teaches that one religion would be superior to some other religion therefore, the brutal murder of the other religion’s people is acceptable and justified before the god of the aggressor people’s pronounced dogma.
