If anyone cares to know what i think, ill tell ya what religion really is, it was designed for the weak minded. I mean if u look at it from afar i find it obvious to see that all it is is a collection of people gathering together for security. security in life and the thought of death, it is comfort. I have a tendency to dislike many religions because if you pick apart the ideas within their religious books such as the bible, it is obvious to point out that the "moral issues" being taught as (right and wrong) are totaly based around keeping people in the church, or gathering or whatever. I mean i cant deny that there are good things to be learned in the bible, for there are, i look at myself to be a moral person though i feel i need not God, no supreme being to guide me, to protect me, to take me when im gone, to accept me, to give me meaning for this ocean of chaos that we live in. I believe in complete open mindedness. If you are blinded by strict religious rules "sins" etc.. u may never find in life, that which life is worth living for. If you view your life on earth to be just a passing, a bridge into heaven or whatever than i think u could easily miss perhaps the most key elements in our lives.
Looking at bible proclaimed "morally correct, things to do" i find that issues such as; no premarital sex, could be viewed many ways, of course its mostly circumstantial, but i see it as this - the church is containing your family within the church, and by only permitting you to wed others of your same religion your children will have far more likly a chance to becoming a part of your religion than if one parent is christian for example and the other doesnt belong to a religious group. for those of you that believe "swearing" or cussing is a sin, than you really need to rethink the matter. Let me get this strait, you are tremendously offended at the fluctuations in air pressure caused by my mouth and breath, Sure and insult is and insult and im not saying that its ok to hurt people with insults ( for that is the manner in which u are using the words, for instance u can hurt somone with words just by the manner in which u say it, even if u dont "swear" at all) but to those or you who believe that just the word is bad ... i dont know what to tell you aside from ... what are you thinking? say if i were to be talking about something such as ...... i had a bunch of "shit" to do last night, or i dont know what the "fuck" he was thinking when he walked into the street. this is not harmful to anyone. ooooooo big damn deal i said "fuck" ... u gotta realize that its the context in which swear words are used that makes them bad.. just saying fuck fuck fuck fuck, has no bearing at all and should not be taken offensively .
you want to knwo what i think about life.. here goes
first of all i want to clear somting up, yes i do believe in the "big bang theory" in which the universe over EXTENCIVE amounts of time expands until it begins to once again contract into itself into a single point in which all law is broken and everything involving "the way things work" is crunched down with it, thus it is pointless to attempt to think about what happened before the big bang because it has no bearing whatsoever in the reality we are present with,. this is because everthing before it was completely abolished and what may have been the laws of science before could be completely differnt that those of today. ok now that i can start form somewhere ill give u all my opinion on how everything is workn. (no god involved). Ok first the big band, matter is blasted outword with intence force and heat. there is massive circumstantial evidence that points to the posibilty of "big bang"s actual existence. (read some of steven hawking's stuff, it will of blow your mind, if u can even comprehend what he is telling you.) as matter began to cool it began to clup together, in massive partical clouds, and in itsself creating small amounts of gravity, thus collecting more and mroe particals and gathering them together, over a long ass period of time planets are created, planets of all kinds. and stars. planets, moving constantly, orbit around larger fields of gravity creating solar systems and galaxies. as matter is condensed through gravity over a LONG LONG LONG period of time brought about single celled organisms, and omg i get this all the time ( how does somtning so brilliant as us come from dust? and if you through a broken clock out the window what are the chances of it falling back together on contact?) its pretty simple acutally, i really doubt that anyone who askes questions like these realizes the magnitude of time , time in which events occure, it was estimated that the earth has been around for 4-6 BILLION years, thats a hell of a long time, and as time goes by so goes natural selection, via survival of the fittest, of the best genetics. i also get a lot of ( how can we, the " greatest , and most intelligent creatures known to ourselves" be conceived from animals which evolved from single celled organizms back at the very begining.) and i can also use the "over a long ass period of time" to back my argument. i mean look at it this way, we, humans, have been here for what maybe 2000 give or take years and we have witnessed tiny bits and pieces of evidence that lead us to the idea of evolution, such as our ,, what was it.. 98% to identical genes from apes. and looking at our body sturctures its so obvious. though almost noone will believe it because they cant witness it themselves, hence "a long ass period of time". give that clock a couple billion tosses of that roof repeated over billions of years and let me tell you , that damned clock is gonna come back together at least once dispite the near impossible chance. would it happen in your life time?. in mine? of course not! but you've got to look at it from a different perspective, based of the fundamentals of chance. I mean all the pieces of that clock are there, as peices on the ground they dont seem to do much of anything, (hello! matter) but as that clock begins to come back together it makes somthing quite magical.. a clock! it ticks , it keeps time... its all the basic same principles of evolution, all coming back to probability over a period of time.
I do consider us to be special, though not as we are Gods most wondrous creation, or that we have this divine purpose, but were given the chance for the most intense experience imaginable, (life) through chance and probability. Therefore it is worth living , i feel that is where i find the drive to live on, to continue, to make the best of everything though it does seem hard somtimes to realize it. I view the existence of life on earth to be quite amazing in that we, all of us, humans and animals, given the chance for existance. and lucky us, we can attempt to perceive whats around us. and comprehend things unlike most animals. does that make us better than them? NO! does that give us the right to think we are special and divine compared to them, NO! and that we, conveniently after we die, get to go to this wonderful place while animals who die just die and their energy is transformed into other things.
this kinda brings me into the whole after life thing, (sorry im really going all over the place). we are like i said, just part of the experience given by chance, and therefore die in the same manner as other creatures that live. by this i mean we live we die, we rot. i know the feeling of worthlessness is strong in that comment but truly i believe people should accept it. i believe that if people would realize that we ARENT the greatest things to ever exist the world would be a better place, and people wouldnt just kill themselves if they saw what i believe i see in life, that is that the chance for life is so rare and precious that its worth liveing to the fullest. (when that clock comes together again) . I know the pieces fit!.. and i know they will come back together again. Now just go with me here on this one... suppose we dont have a purpose and taht it really doesnt matter if u live or die or are a good person or not. Its quite a depressive outlook on life woulnt u agree? of course it is, wouldnt it be nice to give purpose to our lives? woulndnt it be... comforting? of course it would, hence RELIGION, the belief that there is some purpose to our lives, that there is somone else there, that we arnt alone in this "ocean of chaos" and that we are loved by something other than ourselves. (sound comforting to me). Well i think its obvious enough to say that religion is that in full. look back at indian tribes, believing in gods to explain that which they could not explain. (religion does that today) for we cannot and most def. will not ever know the purpose of our existance and thus must have "God" who is the answer to everything we cannot understand. Sure like many other ideas, you can not prove him to be non-existent though its just as random as any other religion or wild ideas created in effort to explain what we cannot perceive at a given time... religion will prob stay around forever because it is comforting and it provides "hope" for those who cannot find it on their own. its sad but true. those who cannot find what i have found in life... (and by all means go ahead believe what ever u want,ur entitled to your own beliefs, your own ideas) for all we know we could all just be somewhere mixed in the chaos of an atom which constructs somthing larger and on and on like looking into a mirror with another mirrow behind it.. the vision you see repeats over and over and over again until it bends out of sight. if you think that idea is obsurd or just too random, why dont you consider your own ideas, an all powerful being, all knowing , etc.. how is that any less random.. the very idea of a god defies all science that we know today, such as the laws of physics... if god can create anything such as a rock,,, could he create a rock that he couldnt lift?! it creates a paradox between the facts that if he (why is it a him anyway, what is so special about a male? doesnt it make sence that it would be a male, considering males were viewed at teh time of the origin of the bible to be far superior, to the more inferior woman at that time. this is proof to me that HE is infact an invented creation in our minds) were to create a rock that he couldnt lift, he woulnd be all powerful now would he? considering he couldnt life it. im just pointing out the physics part of it .. iv heard some say well why would anyone wonder a question such as that/? for it doenst make any sence and there is no reason for that to be true. also the mere fact that there are more than one religion in the world is living proof that God doesnt exist. this is because for one, those who believe in other religions than lets say christianity believe in their god just as much if not more than those who are christians. and the fact that these exist begs the question.. what makes u think your god is the "real": god and that all the others are just dumb and not practical. we always come back to the fact that one cannot prove that God doesnt exist,, you just have to be open minded enough to realize that what you believe is just a perception, your perception, of what is real and what will happen after death. hope your right? is that it? seems a like quite the gamble .. to me anyway.. to dedicate your life to a single idea such as God, and to put sooo much "faith" in that idea, only based on a "hope their right" basis. My advice to you would be to really think about what you believe, sure its easyr to just believe in God and not think about it at all, hence the "weak minded people i was talking about" .. i believe that perhaps for some religion is the right thing, but for most of us, who are strong and have the potential to believe in anything we want, shouldnt need somthing so controlling, so one sided, so closed minded as religion.
(this is just a blink of the stuff i like to think about, and it is my opinion of course, i dont mean to change anyones life or anything, just somthing to think about.. and i hope that if you're reading this and you are in fact religions that you may take a quick ,, only brief moment to really think about what you are dedicating your life to.. this rant was not intended to offend anyone, i am entitled to my own opinion, as are we all. have fun and im excited to hear what any of you might have to reply to my shpeal- ) ty for your time . have a nice day  yours truly - Fred
