In a world that has slowly drifted away from traditional faiths, the gods have been replaced with politicians. The new religious ideology is based on pseudoscience that is twisted and manipulated to convince the populace with righteousness and safteyism. 1/n

The preachers are the short-sighted scientists who don't believe what they preach but preach it anyway.
The believers happily perform rituals like elbow bumps and skipping through circles on the ground.
All performing a ludicrous dance that is threatening our exisitence. 2/n

They hold blind beliefs in the super magical powers of communal behaviours such as lockdowns.
They wear masks as religious symbols of their piety.
They readily make sacrifices to appease their Gods.
They sacrifice their freedoms, their diginity and their humanity. 3/n

The whole affair is more akin to a cult.
While religions are intended to bring peace, cults are self-destructive.
The most evolutionary incomprehensible behaviour is that of sacrificing the young. 4/n

The story of Abraham sought to abolish the practice of human sacrifice. Abraham was commanded to sacrifice his son to prove his submission to God but his son was replaced with a sheep. The sheep is then distributed to the poor as almsgiving (in the Islamic tradition). 5/n

This is a very important shift in the concept of sacrifice.
Originally, sacrifices were made in vain to please the Gods. A person, generally young, is killed for no reason and no apparent benefit to anyone. 6/n

In the story of Abraham, the sacrifice is done on an animal which is part of the food chain of humans and could serve as food to the members of society that are in need. The sacrifice in this case serves a good purpose for the community. 7/n

Some people are still stuck in the phase where it's acceptable to sacrifice the young in vain when clearly the Abrahamic traditions have discouraged such barbaric practices. These people today are sacrificing our young. 8/n

Things that are outside our human control such as life and death used to be in the domain of Gods but are now in the domain of politicians. They can proclaim zero deaths strategies and imply that they have the power to achieve such unrealistic goals. 9/n

Unfortunately, blind faith in such strategies comes with a very dear price. A price that our young are paying today and will continue to pay for years to come.
10/n

Anyone who dares speak against this crime is committing heresy and must be shut down.

A new cult, same old story.
