Tragically, a band of guards ambushes Balinor, Arthur and Merlin and kills Balinor. However, after finding out Merlin is his son, he changes his mind. At first, he refuses to help Camelot - accusing King Uther of betraying his kind. Merlin discovers through Gaius that Balinor is in fact Merlin's father. I applaud you if you are still reading this post filled with vile, anti-religious sentiments, but am I wrong to question such idiotic lunacy?Īs the Great Dragon ravages Camelot, Arthur and Merlin must seek out the last remaining Dragonlord named Balinor. What decency is there in a barbaric book (the Qur'an) where the prophet Muhammad sodomises a 9 year old that he wed at her tender age of 6? In most countries in the Middle East women are required by law to cover themselves up for the sake of "decency". Had it been a question posed in secrecy to those who reside in theocracies such as Saudi Arabia, somehow, I sense a different response would be had.

The cold hard fact is that they're only given that choice here in a secular society. However, when asked why the females wear their burqah (the headscarf) they respond ever so quaintly "it's to do with modesty". I have friends from the Middle East and most are peaceful folk who are well mannered and all. A wake up call needs not be when it affects you personally. We're too busy getting by and worrying about our own affairs to care much about the struggles of peoples being oppressed in the far corners of the globe. By this point I think we're all just indifferent to the sadomasochism that prevails in this world. It's hard to go a day by without hearing stories of religiously motivated incidents. How anyone could believe in such baloney is beyond me, a simple peasant in this day and age of the year 2015. At the core religion is filled with fantastical stories that are scientifically unreasonable and in many cases just plain banal (boring). Earlier on these ideas were taken on board by political entities in order to muster forth an allegiance by the peasants of the day.

Religion was founded upon ignorance and the fear of death by the masses. Personally, and pardon my Aussie, I find this to be a load of bloody bullshit. "We do not speak of such a topic, it is taboo!" But why is that the case I wonder? Is it because people are too bloody hypersensitive towards bullshit? We're all taught to respect other peoples' opinions but people take it way too far to the point where discourse is discouraged.
