hello readers
I read through the posts and you all have interesting stories, facts, as well as ideas. For those of a religious follower, let it be
known that I do not hate or dislike the religious communities, I dislike the people who use their beliefs as a reason to tell someone that they are
wrong for what they think. The fact of the matter is we have no idea about our true creation or beginning. There are to many beliefs to be able to
single out one as being true. I realized that years ago, and started down my path of spirituality rather than religious inspiration towards
spirituality. As soon as a person or persons think they're better than another just because they believe something and others don't, than they have
already broken their chances of enlightenment.
I had a somewhat similar discussion with my mom about how to many people use things but never think about it in detail. myself, I feel I'm obligated
to learning the little details and think about how the things I see in everyday life became what it is. most people will look at a glass bottle that
held their soda, juice, beer, (what ever is your poison lol) drink it, maybe read the label, and throw it away. Me, I see a bottle to. But I think
"Where was the sand to make the bottle obtained? Where'd they get the ore for the lid? How many people were there when it was being made?(made with
machines but still supervised by people), so on so forth. My parents think I'm going to drive myself crazy and die young because I think like this.
My way of thinking is I'd rather know how to know how it works and make my own than to just know where to buy one.
I just recently came across an article of how a percentage of our genes are the same viruses that have been around for thousands of years, and that
they may have been the reason for our evolutionary jump start of intelligence. It's plausible, the new method of getting skin cells to act as stem
cells that create tissues is an example of how you can create something 100 times more useful and unique with something that does so little.
I've always had an "out there" kind of mind, just my nature. And yes, I have had the majority get on my case because I had different ideas than
others that made more sense, at least to me. We need to stick with what we know to be true, not just a belief that something is true. And being a
hypocrite about something won't help haha. I'm 100% content and am fine that my beliefs and ideas can or could be just are false as everyone
else's beliefs, the only problem is the religions tell the followers that if they don't belief they're going to suffer for it. To me just sounds
like more threats to keep people in check.
Sticking to the past will make history repeat itself. Racism, hate crimes, killing, and wars were mostly because of bad things that people did to
another person or country until societies started using religions. Religion is the #1 all time automatic attack. Why? Because every country has
their own unifying religion. So immediately when the idea of religious persecution came along, every person, country, and race were on alert from
other countries. The Christians were the most feared since they said "convert or die!", (the people who weren't killed in their evil blood lust at
least) and they'd kill and raid and kill. What makes the Christians any different from the Vikings who raided towns and villages? The Vikings
killed some, looted, and than left. The hypocrite Christians killed for power (and those who think they didn't, who was in charge after the
Christians raided? DING DING DING! The converted leader who had to do their bidding or they killed the leader and put in one of their higher church
representatives).
The world is moving to slowly when it comes to advancing. We'd be way farther and smarter if religions didn't hold us back from pushing forward.
Let's just be nice, do what we gotta do to survive, and learn everything from scratch. peace
