Being largely agnostic for the conscious years I've spent as a human being on this earth, I've come to a realization about Abrahamic religion. It might be an outside perspective, but here's my perspective none the less.
Long before it ever has a chance to save earth, Abrahamic ideology will destroy it. The tenants of Abrahamic doctrine sink their talons in to unwitting humanity through appealing to the base emotions that everyone of us possess. The fear of death. The use of violence for the sake of friendship and community; a mish-mashed edict that it's followers use as a war banner. The prospect of vanity; in the case of subservient religions like those that were spawned in the Middle East, it's followers achieve vanity through a moral high-ground among the non-believers and pagans amongst them (I'm going to heaven, you're going to hell.)
There are a few things free thinking individuals can do to brace our descendants from the coming tide.
Raise free-thinking children. Teach them to value the wonders of science and prostrate themselves in front of the universe, not a preacher, rabbi, or imam. Show them the art; the sculptures, the paintings, the literature that was created by their free thinking ancestors. Then show them the art that was destroyed in the name of Abrahamic religion. Teach them about the Crusades. Teach them about the Holocaust. Play them the footage of 9/11. Show them how Abrahamic ideology is dangerous in the hands of fanatics. Maybe they will start to wonder why tens of millions of corpses do not lay at the feet of Buddhists or Celts.
Fight political correctness and the constriction of your freedom of speech. Remember that as far as we know, this is the only life we have to live. Do not waste it as a slave to a book.
Before you file in to the ranks of the cult of atheism, ask yourself one question. Does man know everything about the universe? The answer should guide you on your choice. Egoism has no place in the halls of the free thinking.
That's it. Every day, I see these stories roll through this forum. I for one will not dwell on them for another moment. Here's to hoping that someday soon the monkeys burn down the zoo. I'll still hold out hope that they don't burn down everything.

The words are from Islam and part of the 7 phase plan of reformation of the Caliphate and world domination.
The Caliphate as defined by the Sunni Islamic Movement is the total leadership for all the Muslims aimed at implementing Islamic law and carrying the Islamic message to the entire world. It is the successor to the Islamic Caliphate which spanned at one time from Indonesia to Spain through a period of fourteen hundred years. It has not been defined as a monarchy, democracy, dictatorship or a theocracy. Rather a contract of leadership between an elected Caliph and the citizens to apply complete Islamic law within internal and external policy.
The Sunni school differs from the Shia in that it endorses the immediate restoration of Islamic rule by any Muslim meeting certain criteria. The Shia school on the other hand dictates that only a person from the lineage of the Prophet Mohammed has the authority to implement Islamic rule. This lineage having been broken by the disappearance or concealment of the twelfth Imam in 941A.D means that only through his reappearance can the Islamic rule continue. Thereby, the Iranian revolution was never declared or accepted by the majority Sunni or even the Shia in the Islamic world as a Caliphate.
If the West is going to challenge this model it has no alternative but to openly battle Islam along with the Koran. This is not a deliberate precipitation of the clash of civilisations[sic], rather a clear identification of the doctrinal incompatibility between Islam and secular Western Liberalism.

Uh, I don't think so. Christianity does not have as much in common in with Islam as some people like to think. Sorry.

I didn't know what the Caliphate was so I did some net research and found this (for those who also don't know):
The Calipahte: Islam's challenge to Global Order?

Just these two paragraphs helped me more fully understand just what has been going on the last few years. It truly is a war against Islam with two factions within Islam also fighting against eachother.
However, this is not to downplay the agenda of the Westernized governments to also obtain their own version of global dominance. It's just that Islam is standing in the way of that.
I suggest anyone read this entire article. It's pretty good. The author also has this to say:

These wars are going to go on for a heck of a lot longer than I think most of us can stand, aren't they?

Believe it or not THEY DO friend. Read up on the MAHDI AND WHEN HE RETURNS its a time AFTER THE RED & WHITE DEATHS RED FOR WARS WHITE FOR PLAGUE. Then read up on the 4 HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPS:REVELATIONS 6:2 and I saw a white horse and the 1 seated upon it had a bow and a CROWN WAS GIVEN HIM TO COMPLETE HIS CONQUEST. 6:4 And another came forth on a fiery horse AND THE 1 SEATED UPON IT WAS "GRANTED" TO TAKE PEACE AWAY FROM EARTH, SO THAT THEY SHOULD SLAUGHTER 1 ANOTHER AND A "GREAT SWORD WAS GIVEN TO HIM. 6:5 and when he opened the 3rd seal I heard the 3rd living creature say, come and I saw a black horse and the 1 seated upon it HAD A PAIR OF SCALES IN HIS HAND. And I heared a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say -A QUART OF WHEAT FOR A DENARIUS AND 3 QUARTS OF BARLEY FOR A DENARIUS AND DONT HARM THE OLIVE OIL AND THE WINE. 6:8 And I saw and look a pale horse and the 1 seated upon it had the name DEATH AND HADES FOLLOWED HIM. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of earth to kill with a long sword w/ food shortage and with DEADLY PLAGUE AND BY THE WILD BEAST OF THE EARTH.
I took time to show you that "YES" THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN COMMON WITH CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM BELIEVE IT OR NOT, your soul not mine!
Revelations SPEAKS OF THE -PALE HORSE RIDER WHO WILL BRING DEATH THROUGH PLAGUES, ISLAM SPEAKS OF THE MAHDI WHO WILL RESURFACE AROUND THE RED DEATH SYMBOLING WAR AND THE WHITE DEATH SYMBOLING PLAGUE, FRIEND. ITS ON ALREADY THE WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL - NOT CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. Many of you just cannot see the "BEAST" SO YOU FALL FOR ITS beastly gimmicks.
