You, you all, you all that read this blog post, do you really think that highly-paid Obama and all these false double-faced politicians will ever save you?
Will this profit-driven paradigm-bound and paradigm-limited science save you?
Will these closed universities and schools demanding bloodleeching payments that make studends very very poor help you?
You're happy with the Internet that was supposed to be an open source of all valuable information, now ripped apart by pornography and scams and all kinds of crap?
What's so fucking wrong with free energy, magnet motors?
What's so fucking wrong with open-source software, SourceForge?
What's wrong with growing your own food? (Bill S. 510!)
What's wrong with free indie bands and songs, indie video games?
What's wrong with free films?
What's wrong with WORKING for FREE and RECEIVING for FREE?
What's wrong with sharing?
What's wrong with getting whores out of the streets and pornography studios, women selling themselves for a couple of bucks?
What's wrong with breaking up drug cartels evolving around shadily made profit?
What's wrong with having honest politicians?
What's wrong with homeschooling?
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. I KNOW that God exists. And that so-called "conspiracy" really affects everybody and MANY help it unconsciously. Moreover, this manipulation stinks from a mile wide, and any of you simply may be unaware of it just because you grew accustomed to its awful smell...
And do you really think that a higher (the HIGHEST being, as it is the VERY definition of the Creator) such as God could show such horrible partiality?
Is a Buddhist doing right things better than an Atheist doing right things?
Is a Christian doing right things better than an Atheist doing right things?
Is a Muslim doing right things better than an Atheist doing right things?
But tell me... how many of Atheists, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims... and others... do RIGHT things? How many?
And all these economic crises, predicted disasters, other fuckeries could/can be avoided.
If only people started to make some fucking decent effort to eradicate monetary systems from the face of the Earth...
... and no, I won't convince any of you to anything. You choose what you choose. If it proves unhealthy, poisonous or deadly for you, it was your choice and you'll have only yourselves to blame. Only yourselves!
And when I say that people need to make some FUCKING EFFORT to succeed, I really MEAN it. Because realism proves that it's MUCH much more easier to say than do!
Yes yes i do believe that God created us
but as you recall Adam and Eve were perfect until Sin entered our world and broke us, turned us away from our father.
but why did it not end there?
Why did God not start again hmm?
He could have wiped the slate clean and started fresh but he didn't.
And you know why he didnt?
because he LOVES us.
He believed that mankind would repair itself,that it would find itself.
Im not perfect, your not perfect, my friends aren't perfect and humanity isn't perfect and the person who attempts to be perfect will never achieve it but recognizing that and the fact that we are still here on this earth, this tiny speck of sand in the unending sea of creation is in itself an act of love.
Now Humanity is young only a few hundred thousand years old and things are bad now and they will always seem dark.
but there is hope.
our salvation will not come now,nor in the next hundred thousand years
but on the day that we put our weapons down and embrace each other as equals.
will be the day that we as a people will be redeemed
until then dont ever give up hope in humanity or in God for a man who trusts in science for his whole life's meaning will never find the answer
Thats my view
Only in the Light the trust should be put - for the Light drives a man to the education, to sciences and disciplines not for knowledge, but for UNDERSTANDING and development of soul against fulfilling caprices of the flesh (all the day eating without reason, crapping, ASO).
Truly ignorance being bliss is shown here with you two. Your optimistic views contrasted to everyday life on our planet. People die, people suffer and the rich get richer while the rest get poorer. People fight and things are getting worse, many things are working towards our demise and without thought this can be seen. The human race cannot survive much longer as for one there are people out there that are willing to do terrible things. What drives them to do this is often not their fault. It is their distorted views from generations past like Chinese whispers, it is the anger at rich celebrities and CEO's while their they themselves or their people suffer in the dirt.
And as we advance in our never ending pursuit of bettering ourselves we create weapons. Sometimes on accident and sometimes on purpose but the fact remains that the bigger sticks are getting in the hands of the wrong people and it is only a matter of time before someone starts waving their stick. Even if we do not kill ourselves in the first sense you would think of there are many different issues including overpopulation, our sun going supernova and global warming,. It is these issues that often make each other worse.
In short optimistic views are ignorant of our true fate and when you ignore this fate it is then that one can be happy.
The change must happen at the most basic level. At the individual level. To stop the madness, to stop the pointless endless circle of hatred and ignorance, one must break it definitely at some point.
Not tomorrow, not after two days, not after a week... NOW, in the present time. For only NOW and HERE exists. There's no future. Past is past. We live only in today.
The problem in this world we live in is that humanity is unable to be perfect and we are but only human. Humanity has its (many) flaws and it doesn't take long to see that. The problem with having a perfect world where everything is free is of the sins we have made; greed, lust, lies, theft and murder are seen every day and everywhere. Your idea of the perfect world just cannon happen while we are imperfect and we are but human and that is not going to change.
You mean being a little ******* different, a little less wicked, isn't being human? Humans were supposed to be sentient REASONING beings!
There's a difference between perfection and morality.
in reality many people are nice
it just so happens that most of the bad people are in highly publicized places
Maybe. Or simply regular people can hide themselves and their vices better...
maybe but as the old saying goes
ignorance is bliss
NO, the ignorance is the main source of ALL evil in the world. IGNORANCE.
ever wtched desmond morris?
I didn't. You mean his books about humans?
Ignorance being bliss is interpreted as lack of knowledge being happiness. Through observations during my life I have INDEED SEEN that those without knowledge are happier. with Knowledge comes further questions, questions are problems and problems drain happiness
No. Ignorance is a lack of awareness, understanding leading to suffering in the first place. People being too ignorant murder each other without any conscience or even knowledge what they're actually doing.
HAPPINESS is creation, is creating and understanding things. Through creative activities you become happy, you fulfill yourself.
... That's a nice twisting of the meaning of atheist.
religion .. gives hope ...a reason to live even.
It gives so basic morals on how everyone wants to be treated.
The truth being that every atheist wants to be wrong when they say god is not real. becasue just how hallow life feels without a reason to it.
Just like when your learned santa claus was not real. Alittle more magic fades from your life and you see just how boring and grey the world realy is.
Random quote from somewere "alittle sceince will make a man and atheist study will make him a believer"
But at the same time is not to be taking to seriously.
It's true it does get in the way of many things (being pretty good at science myself)
when religion gets in the way of science (unless science is trying to do something stuiped)its wrong religion should never stop improvement becasue again what boring world that would be. Isnt it in human nature to be curious to build to invent to live. if god made us would he be happy that we use these skills he give us?
In my opinon its best to keep a open mind.
Remember the answer is aways the one you dissmiss.
On a lighter note /topic lol
