No Compulsion In Religion

Only they feel obligated, by family, friend and social group's custom, culture or tradition, to practise the usually misogynistic and paternally prescribed family faith.

Only they feel obliged, by others who have been similarly indentured, to comply with the dogma's imposed compulsions, the pillars, if you will, of the tradition, the subjugation and enslavement of the self to the compulsions the dogma dictates; the imposed prostrations and recitations for supplicants.

Only they, in this haze of normalised oppression, feel the compulsion to spread these toxic tenets, as dictated by the author in this coercive manifesto.

Only they will be implored, bribed and coerced, by elders and "betters" to "conduct yourself properly in the superior ways, as prescribed for us in our unquestionably glorious supreme leader's unquestionably supreme manifesto".

Only they feel compelled to close or open their legs at the times the diktats prescribe.

Only they feel the compulsion to wear the uniform, the scripturally 'commended' religious garb and bling; always aware of the mantra "Purest Piety wins the Prize".

Only they feel the indoctrinated urge to coerce the still free, those not yet obligated to the 'supreme' path, to feel compelled to concede that ONLY this manifesto of coercive diktats, compelling submission to an unproven authority, is supreme above all, and other manifestos, which may seem to claim similarly are inferior counterfeits.

Only they are compelled to believe these "counterfeits" to be the works of demons and those who seek every opportunity to destroy the supreme path set forth by the supreme leader.

Only they fail to notice "there is no compulsion in religion" is a verse born of the doctrinal source of all their spiritual compulsions!

And all, and only, because a manifesto of spurious compulsions, which they were compelled to concede as true, has compelled them, via its coercions, to accept and promote what it compels!

And we, the un-shepherded, who are not they, know this because we have no doctrine and so none of the procedural compulsions to which the totalitarian manifestos compel their despairingly enormous flocks.

As I see it, "there is no compulsion in religion" cannot be described as anything other than wholly false, so the question this time is...

With compulsion being the foundation and scaffolding around which faiths are built, how can anybody who does not notice any of it, to the extent that they can feel comfortable and truthful proclaiming "there is no compulsion in religion" be trusted to even use a spoon without injury?

Much Compulsion In Religion

I don't know if you've heard of Mubarak Bala, 29 year old Nigerian from Kano, who was beaten and dumped in a psychiatric ward for 18 days for merely declaring himself to be unconvinced by any of the hypotheses for god(s) - that's all - just an insignificant thing like saying out loud, "I don't think there's really a Chief Wizard"!

The person saying "religion is fiction" is clearly not the one in need of psychological evaluation!!

Mubarak is free now so I'm going to pick up on the theme of Mubarak's imposed dilemma and talk more generally about about the supremacist mindset, which enables, if not compels, and justifies, within the confines of the twisted morality of the cult, this sort of imprisonment "for one's own good".

Mubarak's confinement reminds me of similar programs, called 'interventions', that are designed to help a drug addict get off their addiction, not, as in Mubarak's case, 'persuade' a reformed addict to rejoin a hive of users. A reverse-intervention, really.
The imprisonment or punishment for one who leaves the cult, is seen (within the cult) as for the benefit of the subject. A kindness! It is seen this way because the sacred text of cult proclaims itself as "the perfect word of god" and anything less than complete compliance with that god's "perfect way to live" is seen by its multitude of enthralled sycophants as inferior; inadequate in the eyes of the second-rate author promising to burn the subject forever!

Since I first heard of Mubarak's plight, I have been watching a stream of Muslims addressing Mubarak on Twitter and offering hellfire laiden threats, thinly veiled as best wishes.
I find it utterly repulsive and abhorrent in the extreme that people, who are supposed to love peace, are so twisted by the text imposed upon them by their ancestors that they do not recognise that their 'well-wishing' coercive urging of a loved-one to "make the right choice, restart your addiction and return to the haze of pretendsies", as compulsion! How can anyone not recognise, "Have you forgotten you will burn forever in hell if you leave the gang?" as an imposition, designed to coerce and compel?
If their favourite fable did not claim itself to be supreme above ALL other life paths and did not, at its core, utterly disrespect ALL other life paths, do you think we would have ever heard of these violent, inhumane and anti human rights reverse-interventions being perpetrated on those with a different point of view on the existence of Jinn, Satan, Angels, God(s) or Casper?
You can probably guess what I think.


As with all cults, there is mass hypocrisy in Islam; indeed, "Let there be no compulsion in religion"(Qur'an: Surah 2:256) must be the most transgressed of their idol's commands!
The reverse-intervention perpetrated by Mubarak's family is not the only one! This religious oppression happens on a daily basis to numerous victims of religion around the world.

Before one of these reverse-intervention "treatments" kills one of the victims let's
End religion for peace sake.
