A Theory on God and Religion, Whats Your Thoughts, page 1

I dont believe anything, but I have some theories, some I've thought of myself and others based on things ive read elsewhere and make sense to me.

I think there is something else beyond the universe, whether it is a god, or we are just part of another being like in the opening of one of the Simpsons episodes where a universe was part of homer;s brain, we will probably never know just like computer game characters will never know what is outside of their universe.

We could very well be in a computer simulation of some sorts, I consider the electric universe theory to be possible, and that would make it even more likely. Maybe its a huge game, where we plug in as different life forms each life cycle and go for the experiences which are impossible in a non-physical reality. This would be cool if it were real.

Its more likely that we are just here, and this is all there is, because reality has shown that its harsh and unfair. We are born into a messed up world, one where we are purposely held back from discovering our true selves and attaining our full potential as a species, then die. Whether there is a god or not seems to make no odds cos he clearly doesnt care enough to stop the evils being committed in his name.

Religion originally comes from astrology, from ancient stories. Our early ancestors told stories based on the movement of stars and planets etc. Then some point down the line, some bright spark came up with the idea of using those stories as a means of controlling people in order to execute his will. Maybe it was someone using technology left over from a previous civilisation or he was a genius and discovered it himself, or had help from other sources, but the gods all have human traits.

Religion is the real global epidemic, its the mental illness that keeps us enslaved and in a permanent state of self-destruction. We have gone as far as to destroy large parts of the planet now. How much longer can we as a species, and even most other species we share our planet with, last under these conditions?

Religion isnt alone in its evils, there is corruption in every facet of civilisation, most people cannot be trusted any more. There are still people with integrity left, but being led down the wrong path by religion, corporations, governments (same thing as the previous 2 really), or whatever. Mostly intertwined with religion! So many people enslaved into rotten systems which only exist to benefit a few.

I feel like hope is running out for us. Its only a matter of time before we make an even bigger blunder than the gulf, and this one will land us in even more serious #, because they would rather save a few dollars than learn from their mistakes.

I guess im stuck at this stage in my life for now. I'm probably missing parts of the puzzle, and hopefully, I will find them and come to a better understanding because the one I have right now is one I hate.
