Tulsi Gabbard has stepped forward to oppose ISIS. But she should consider that her religion is based on the same operating system as ISIS.
Same operating system -- Fundamentalist Purity
Butlerism and ISIS are merely different
applications sitting atop the same OS.
The problem with purity is that it has no goal -- one can never be pure enough. Purists are never satisfied. Give in to their demands, they come up with new ones.
In the absence of an adversary, purists turn on each other.
Dharmabum summarized the belief system of Jagged guru Butler's political party
as follows:
Quote
Independents for Godly Government:
1. Core belief – society is rotten to the core (ungodly).
2. Objective – as devotees they have a moral responsibility to save humanity from itself.
3. Solution – develop the love for God (ultimate).
4. Method – Chant the Holy Names (mantras).
5. Dogma - Acquire pure knowledge, that is “you are not the body” (hence, The Science of Identity).
6. Source – From a bona fide spiritual master, the sole representative of God on Earth, a genuine lover of God, the “pure” spirit soul, the Jagad Guru (Universal Teacher) or for short, “full” surrender to Chris Butler.
Sit back and compare this with ISIS.
1. Society is rotten to the core - except for the ISIS caliphate and its interpretation of Islam and Sharia.
2. ISIS adherents know they have the moral responsibility to bring humanity to their interpretation of Islam and to kill or enslave anyone who refuses.
3. Develop love/unquestioning submission to God/Allah as interpreted by the Caliph of ISIS
4. Chant the prayers and Koran and live by the protocol of ISIS (Wear a beard or get punished. Get caught smoking and you're caged or beaten. Ditto if you don't go to prayers at the mosque.)
5. Dogma: follow ISIS version of Islam, kill, torture, rape and enslave
and plunder identified enemies -- all this plus death in battle will send you
to Paradise
6. Swear obedience to the Caliph
There is one difference.
ISIS hates those who disagrees and says so publicly.
Chris Butler and his minions consider us impure. But they make sure
we do not know this. They want our money, want us to patronize their businesses.
We are impure and corrupt, but our money is pure. Heh.
Now...voters of Hawaii.
You have something Butler wants and wants very badly. Something in addition to money.
Your vote.
Do you want to regarded in the same way as a latrine?
Taken for granted, regarded as a joke, sought out only when needed?
