if you tap into the work of Rupert Sheldrake, a leading voice in the area of morphic resonance you may come into a lot that supports my contempt for religion although his work has produced the opposite effect in him..Sheldrake has returned him to the church although I am not sure of his current idea of god
morphic fields are truly interesting...
genes, molecules, electrons protons are responsible for doing work in the human body. they do not explain much beyond their function. we exists in fields that shape and do much else. what are these fields.....????
again my point is that we will come to understanding of god, of existence by sight and not by faith. faith is blind and a waste of time..not required at all. god does not hide..what there is, all there is, there for us to find..prolly right in our faces and we cant see..yet blind are we
I am not sorry to say that faith/church/religion makes me angry for the historically stultifying, blinding, time consuming, wasteful and destructive nonsense that collection of related human practices are. I make no apology.
I throw my opinion to the wind and let it spread everywhere, in addition to, and in support of those who agree with me, and who work to expose religion for what it is now, and as it has been so far..a serious threat to the continuation of human life in the universe..a collection of practices that busts/busted up human life, set up all manner of atrocity and human exploitation of itself..justified/justifies all manner of human evil and wickedness in the world..the incredible mass murder of the world wars in which the gods blessed every side, and their weapons..and now threatens to end us all with a final war that will end indeed all wars
had I the power I would burn every church that exists..but I prefer to burn the priests, the religious administrations... for they know the fraud they perpetrate. I wud leave the buildings for practical use.
I would however leave the people free to pursue god in any way they chose without interpreters, leaders, popes and religious princes and princesses.
I wud make sure to provide the people with all truth, information available, all the documents from ancient times unadulterated. or even better leave them to find them on their own if they wanted to.
there must be no possibility in religious practice of coercion and exploitation, by and through the full development of people, their faculties to think reason and decide on their own, in a reality in which they did not have to grovel for subsistence, and so are beholden to no man, woman or exploitative social system for life..so they are free to deal properly with the truth they find and only that..in the ways they find practical and relative
that is to make of or allow for the development of human beings into full men and women in existence, each a factor of real independence in the full social cooperativeness that would allow for human indefinite survival, each human being indeed a prince and process of the most full human development possible in the most positive social environment we can develop.
that I believe is what god/nature requires of us, to learn from us and through us.
we are a product of nature in its own ongoing survival. all its extrusions must be in accordance with that, the survival of nature itself.
we, are also this way, a natural product and our opportunity in life is in accordance with this way of proceeding. to stop human development is to be contrary to nature and that is what organized religion has accomplished...
religion has hamstrung humanity for 2000 years now, has kept us back and made life touch and go for the profit of the priests..the economic priests as well. humanity should be 2 thousands years ahead of where we are but for jackass organized religion.
we should have long ago resolved the contradictions of productive collective work for our subsistence, evolved into cooperative society and beyond. we should have long recaptured the garden of our youth, the paradise of myth by our own knowledge and creation...and humanity well on its way to whatever destiny awaits us, or is there for us.
we developed the road block ourselves ORGANIZED RELIGION and the penalty is to be stuck in the detritus of our practices and jackass beliefs.. the hell on earth we now have.
just imagine the kiss-mih-ass oxymoron by which we live..in an existence in which eyes are essential for life we MUST LIVE BY FAITH! self imposed blindness and stupidity that, from the start, but hopefully not to our finish. hopefully we catch ourselves in time
