I wonder what causes more harm than the belief systems held by millions of people or the fantasies created to make young people view the world unrealistically?
Santa Claus and Cinderella hold a special place in the hearts and minds of children. The idea that a young woman will meet a prince and become a princess is a very large part of western culture....and a very unrealistic objective. Hoping to just fall in love with a good person should be enough.
Santa Claus seems to be the least troublesome due to the fact that the truth is usually revealed before the age of 10...and now with the information highway stretching through every one's life that age is probably reduced to 7 or 8.
The concept of a single entity being the only path to salvation and heaven just doesn't make any sense no matter how you slice the pie....and thus Jesus of Nazareth, who should be regarded as a great instructor in the art of displaying love and compassion, becomes something of a roadblock to those who want to believe in an intellectual force behind creation.
And then we have Sharia Law which truly makes no sense on any level. I'm just going to list the Marriage part of the program.
Marriage[change | change source]
- A Muslim man can marry only a Muslim, Christian or Jewish woman. He cannot marry an atheist, agnostic or polytheist.[1]
- A Muslim woman can marry only a Muslim man. She cannot marry a Christian, Jew, atheist, agnostic or polytheist.[2]
- The minimum age of marriage for females is nine, for males is twelve.[3][4]
- A Muslim minor girl's father or guardian may arrange the marriage of a girl, without her consent, before she reaches adulthood.[5]
- An adult man cannot marry an adult woman without her consent. An adult woman requires her wali's - father or male guardian - consent to marry, in following schools of sharia: Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Jafari.[5]
- A marriage is a contract that requires the man to pay, or promise to pay some Mahr (property as brideprice) to the woman. The married woman owns this property.[6][7]
- A man can divorce his wife any time he wants, without reason. A woman cannot divorce her husband without reason. She may file for divorce for reason, such as he is impotent, missing or biologically related to her.
- A Muslim man can marry four Muslim women. A Muslim woman can marry only one Muslim man.
PLEASE READ THE SHARIA LAWS OF MARRIAGE A FEW TIMES AND THEN TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY ANY WOMAN WOULD SUPPORT SUCH A THING.
I mean really, Santa Claus and Cinderella make no sense at all but compared to Sharia Laws of marriage they look like scientific realities.
The misogynistic viewpoint of Sharia Law should be addressed by the United Nations on a daily basis. The Catholic Church, who have their own issues about women, and every human rights organization should be verbalizing their rejection of Sharia Law. The Mormons, who built their organization on the premise that woman were simply tools for men to control, should be talking about Sharia Law but of course historical realities makes them remain quiet.
President Barack Obama spoke about domestic violence during the Super Bowl but I've yet to hear him belittle Sharia Law.
NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF ISLAMIC FOLLOWERS WHO DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO SHARIA LAW, WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE, BUT I DON'T HEAR THEIR VOICES CALLING FOR REMOVAL OF THIS ANTIQUATED THOUGHT PROCESS.
I know I'm not the only one who is thinking that radical Islamic followers, who prescribe to strict Sharia Law, seem to be SERIOUSLY hoping for Armageddon.

And as this ISIS problem gets bigger and bigger and goes deeper and deeper into Syria, Iraq, Iran and Northern Africa...it keeps looking like they might get their wish.
It amazes me that Russia and China, who have obviously an anti-Christian and anti-Islamic cultural basis, have not taken more of an active role in opposing their march. The only answer must be that arms and munitions are being purchased from those two world powers and money talks.
Personally I wish Santa Claus and Cinderella would take time out from their lofty perch in fantasyland and get involved.
Imagine Santa, with his modern technological equipped M-78 sleigh screaming down on ISIS and
delivering PRESENTS..... THAT KEEP ON GIVING AND GIVING.
Now it's important to remember that I am a documented anti-war person. (Just ask my draft board from 1969) Knowing that fact might give you a small indication on how disappointed I am that a religion who claims to be a peaceful religion allows factions within their organization to continually demonstrate a behavior that seems to be completely void of the most important ingredients regarding the honoring of a Creator...........
SHARIA LAW seems not to contain LOVE of human beings........and especially human beings of the female gender.
That and that alone should be a good enough reason for International Law to rule their efforts invalid.
I WANT TO SEE SOME LAWSUITS FILED IN INTERNATIONAL COURTS FOR ANYONE SUBSCRIBING TO THE MARRIAGE PARTS OF SHARIA LAW
TO
CEASE
AND
DECEASE
IMMEDIATELY
That's my order for the day.......oh yeah and one more little thing....
Does anyone have Grandma Cinderella's cell phone number? There's got a be a hot unmarried daughter in her early forties in that big castle looking for an art prince who wants to be an art king but first needs his art queen.....and not a queen from West Hollywood please.
Yeah I know......it never ends and it's all due to Santa Claus, Cinderella, King Arthur, Tolkin, Greek Gods, Walt Disney, Trickle Down Economics and every other fantasy that has engulfed my life.
