Religion a view by The Daredevil of Anarchy inc.
|
|||
|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Religion is a funny thing. People worship God (Budda/Mow/whatever) in their
|
|||
|
|
own way. But, you can get in a lot of "trouble" if you don't worship God in
|
|||
|
|
somebody else's way. Such is the case with the persecution of Jews, Moonies,
|
|||
|
|
Hari Krishnas, etc. The Bible, is put down by a lot of people as being "...just
|
|||
|
|
another novel full of stories..." Well, true. It is full of stories. But,
|
|||
|
|
these stories give people a base to live life upon. Some people accept that God
|
|||
|
|
exists as a "truth". Imagine trying to convince a Jew that God doesn't exist.
|
|||
|
|
It's the same thing as trying to convince a machine language programmer that
|
|||
|
|
PILOT is better. Bother the programmer and the Jew will pass you off as crazy.
|
|||
|
|
See? So, people, don't bother trying to convince somebody that one religion is
|
|||
|
|
better than the other. Mind you, you can prove that one thing is better than
|
|||
|
|
the other (ie, Macintoshes and Timex Sinclair). But religion is not one of
|
|||
|
|
those things. Trust me. (...said the spider to the fly...)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, I've found that some people cannot sleep without knowing that there is
|
|||
|
|
somebody watching over you. Imagine, if you will, a world without God. Now,
|
|||
|
|
first, we suffer from lack of love and compassion. How!? Well, look at it this
|
|||
|
|
way. Now, if you have no God, then people have no sense of security. (...think
|
|||
|
|
of Linus's blanket, from Peanuts...) They know that the Universe is a massivly
|
|||
|
|
huge place. [I don't want to go into how big it really is. Douglas Adams
|
|||
|
|
already outlined it in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Just trust me, it's
|
|||
|
|
big.] They know that after they die, there is no place for them to go. They
|
|||
|
|
know that it doesn't matter what kind of person they are on this world.
|
|||
|
|
Everybody goes to the same place when they die. Where? To an eternal sleep.
|
|||
|
|
So, people are generally bad, cruel, uncaring, numb human beings. Human.
|
|||
|
|
Underline that word. Why do I say that they are bad? Because good people don't
|
|||
|
|
get very far in life. "NO! They go to heav-" No. There is no heaven. So,
|
|||
|
|
therefore, people see no reason for love, and as generations go on, they become
|
|||
|
|
even more filled with hate and disregard for laws, life, love, and anything else
|
|||
|
|
that should come along their path in life. Good guys finish last, right? "NO!
|
|||
|
|
They get to go to heav-" Nope. There is no heaven. So, therefore, nobody
|
|||
|
|
cares.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WRONG!!! -------- --------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Bible gives these people comfort, and lets them feel that there is
|
|||
|
|
somebody that loves them. That there is somebody to take care of them when they
|
|||
|
|
are in need. That there is somebody out there, watching them. That doesn't
|
|||
|
|
mean that The Bible is for everybody. It isn't. Call these people weak, if you
|
|||
|
|
must, but at least they're assured. What do I mean by that? Well, who's to say
|
|||
|
|
that God doesn't exist. Can you prove it? Who's to say that God does exist?
|
|||
|
|
Can they prove it? Yes, each side can prove it! Huh? Therefore, this cancels
|
|||
|
|
both these theories out. See? There is no God, yet there is. It can be
|
|||
|
|
proved. Now, here's another intresting point. "...faith denies proof, and
|
|||
|
|
without faith I am nothing..." THAT'S TRUE. But, this doesn't even have to
|
|||
|
|
interact with God. It can work with anything, that has been proved, and then
|
|||
|
|
not proved (and proved again...and not again...and again...programmers call this
|
|||
|
|
an endless loop. Congress calls this a working system. Bad joke.) This quote
|
|||
|
|
(i guess it's a quote...from who? From God. But I thought you said he doesn't
|
|||
|
|
exist! No, I said that it's been proved that God doesn't exist. But it has
|
|||
|
|
been proved that he DOES exist. That's correct also. HUH!?) can work with
|
|||
|
|
anything from UFO's, Aliens, the Supernatural, and Ron VanZuylen. See my
|
|||
|
|
confusing point? But, if it's been proved that he does exist, then proof denies
|
|||
|
|
faith, and without faith, he is nothing. So, therefore, he is nothing. But,
|
|||
|
|
what about all these people with Bibles, and all the churches? They must have
|
|||
|
|
put/wrote them for a reason? The reason? Comfort. Oh, I thought I'd mention.
|
|||
|
|
How does one prove that God exists? Why would all these massive amounts of
|
|||
|
|
people worship him if he didn't? If God causes miracles to happen, then these
|
|||
|
|
miracles are proof! Then again, what is proof? It's evidence. It's the facts,
|
|||
|
|
bud! But how can you have facts? Can you prove that Ron VanZuylen exists? [I
|
|||
|
|
realise that this a crude example. Let's use some- thing like Japan.] Can you
|
|||
|
|
prove that Japan exists? Ever been there? You haven't? Maybe Japan is an
|
|||
|
|
elaborate joke from the US Goverment, and accually you're going Toledo. All
|
|||
|
|
japanese are chinese? Or maybe all these Japanese are from Toldeo! Riiiiiight.
|
|||
|
|
Nobody in their right mind would believe that. Prove I'm wrong. Heh. Oh, you
|
|||
|
|
have a picture of Japan. Ever hear of Universal Studios? OH! I forgot to
|
|||
|
|
mention. Can you prove that I'm right? Therefore, nothing can be proved. See?
|
|||
|
|
Thank you. Thank you Mr. Moon Roach. Now, if nothing can be proved, then
|
|||
|
|
there is no religion. But, I'm not here to disprove Japan, Ron VanZuylen,
|
|||
|
|
Religion and God, VanVision CBBS, or anything else. Perhaps I've gone off on
|
|||
|
|
too many different tangents. ("Sex?" "Shut up Ron.") Have I confused you yet?
|
|||
|
|
Drat. You're following all of this.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, what I've been attempting to grasp in this whole semblence of a
|
|||
|
|
statement, is that nothing can be proved, so knock off trying to disprove
|
|||
|
|
things, or even prove them. In this case, we're talking about Religion here.
|
|||
|
|
So, let's, for the sake of arguement, say that every religion is real.
|
|||
|
|
Everybody is correct. I can't end this file saying that everybody is incorrect.
|
|||
|
|
That would bother some people. But, let me end it on this note:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Everything is correct, and real. Everything is also incorrect, and unreal.
|
|||
|
|
Both these statements can be proved. Nothing can be proved. Nothing can't even
|
|||
|
|
be proved. Therefore, everything cancles itself out, and we're all nice and
|
|||
|
|
confused once again. Now, perhaps you can understand why some people take
|
|||
|
|
drugs, right? They're victims of reality. What a wasteful pity of a human
|
|||
|
|
mind. Exposed to reality at a young age. Don't blame them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

[Authors Note]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At the rate I'm going, this textfile could go on forever. Or at least until I
|
|||
|
|
run out of buffer space. I started out on religion, and ended it on the note
|
|||
|
|
that people who take drugs aren't ready for raw reality. Strange. That's what
|
|||
|
|
I get when I don't write anything in a long time, and all these weird odd ideas
|
|||
|
|
form in my overtaxed mind. I can't call this file RELIGION. That would confuse
|
|||
|
|
too many people. I can't call it "FUCK!! volume two". This file shall be
|
|||
|
|
known herein as "MASS CONFUSION VOLUME ONE". Fair enough? Oh yes, I had a
|
|||
|
|
disclaimer to print also...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Disclaimer]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I referred to God as God, as most people call him. However, God in this
|
|||
|
|
textfile shall be symbolized as anything that is worshiped by one or more
|
|||
|
|
people(s). So, don't get angry if I didn't mention your God.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I also referred to God as being a "He". You'll have to excuse me for that.
|
|||
|
|
We cannot prove that God is male, or female, or either, or both. Now, I don't
|
|||
|
|
want to start disproving proof again, because I'm getting confused by my own
|
|||
|
|
writing now!

[Last Notes]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. Insanity. Violence. Lobotomies. Fantasies. These
|
|||
|
|
are a few of the things used to escape from the grim, bare, naked, nitty-gritty,
|
|||
|
|
down-to-the-earth reality. Reality is horrible, and it shows us running around
|
|||
|
|
this misrable little planet off in the corner of the Universe, creating things
|
|||
|
|
to tear them down, living only about forty years out of the BILLIONS AND
|
|||
|
|
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS (etc.) of years that the Earth has existed. Am I scaring
|
|||
|
|
you? That's life. Is it? No. Prove it. Shut up, Daredevil.
