Description

I was wracking my head trying make this for years, but it never turned out right on paper so I tried it using the PC, and my first attempt ended up like a work of John Hartfields! My second try turned out just fine!

I wanted to come up with a symbol/picture that required no explaining and was just self-explanatory, to just put my thought across that religion and fascism have a lot in common and possibly excally the same!

I will always maintain and put forward that human invented religious ideology is similar if not the same as human invented fascist ideology. Those similarities are, worship of a central idol or symbol; exstortion of money, land or possessions from the population via fear or force; wars or restrictive social planning executed in the name of their ideology or central idol or symbol; unwarranted arrest, imprisonment or death in the name of the ideology; suppression of free speech and death of those who attempt to question the ideology. Invention or exaggerated threats to the country, central idol/symbol or ideology; flawed ideology that is NOT debatable; withholding or suppression of knowledge; control and dominance in every facet of life possible. I am sure there are more similarities, but the ones listed are the most prominent in my mind at the moment.

I know christianity isn't as draconian as it was, and Nazislm isn't technaclly full fledged Fascism, but the ideology is still there it's just that it's not used.

Basically I'm saying that religion is like fascism and restricts your thinking, restrict your freedoms, tells you what to do, is your conscience and commits alot of atrocities (physical, social or otherwise) under the guise of "doing good", or "doing what's best".

I think this picture would have had a greater impact if you had used a different colored cross, that is smaller, placed in the center of a larger swastika.
