The Mosquito on the Moon...

Okay I'm ready to move to the moon. Somewhere where idiots aren't killing each other over petty religious differences. Over IDEAS! The earth has basically become an overcrowded sandbox, only the weapons aren't plastic shovels and buckets but bombs that reduce living breathing human beings to the equivalent of fish flakes.

And I thought religions were supposed to be peaceful. Accepting of others. What good does it do to pray 5 times a day and then strap on a bomb-jacket and blow up innocent civilians trying to have a fricken cup of coffee after a long day at work? Why can't these idiots, you know, cherish their shared history in the Holy Lands?

Okay, I understand it's not that simple. The hatred runs deep between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Yadda, yadda, yadda. But when you really stop and think about it, they're not that different. Both religions trace their beginnings to Abraham. The Jews and Christians consider him the father of Israel through his son Isaac while Muslims consider him the father of Islam through his other son Ishmael.

But both religions share the SAME God! Allah, Jehovah, whatever! It's the same being. Christ, you'd think they'd rejoice in their similarities. They're basically brothers!

So, I invite you to join me on the moon. But here there is no arguing. No lashing out. No vindictiveness. No my god is bigger than your god. Only peaceful stargazing. And coffee. And the occasional American Idol episode. That's it. One small step for Mosquito Grant, one giant leap for religious fanatics.
