If you’re not worshipping god, you are worshipping something else. I shall now furnish a partial list of FALSE RELIGIONS people worship:
god,allah,buddah etc. NOW LETS ALL REPEAT LOUD AND CLEAR: THESE CLOWNS DON’T EXIST.
Science-technology-future. This is the most dominant FALSE RELIGION being followed in the world today.
Love. A total pure illusion and invention.
Sex. Same as above, associated with maybe drugs, highs, LSD, TRYING TO HAVE FUN.
Money. You just need the bare minimum to survive.
Work. Same as above.
Progress. This is a subtle one; people think they “grow”, progress towards “more knowledge”, “more spirituality” etc. These are mostly just counters of numbers or measurements that don’t mean anything at all. We have CHANGE, but rarely any progress, and besides progress is undefined.
Art-consumerism. These are false IDOLS. Billy Idol is the only real IDOL.
Marxism - social activism - idealisms
Many more, each of you add to this ever growing list of CRAP.
A man is truly free when he does not need to worship anything or live for anything at all. A man who believes in NOTHING is the real unknown god.
What’s the difference between an “explanation” and a scribble on a piece of paper or pure non sense ? None. The explanation is just something useful for us in organizing and predicting the world, manipulating it according to our needs, pleasure, survival etc. But taken as is, there is nothing that really distinguishes an explanation from any sequence of symbols, a painting or any non sense at all.
The quantum physics equations are equivalent to any sequence of symbols. They become important only in that they can be used to interpret, organize conceptually and manipulate matter. They are in turn useful to us only because we are hardwired to perceive and interact with matter in a given quirk way. If we were hardwired differently we could even not have explanations, or have a completely different way to organize our thoughts-emotions-interactions. Science itself is just a QUIRK.
Everything worships something or someone. It can often be a construct that you have made up in your own head that somehow helps you make sense of life. But there will always be something.
From your posts I sense an anger with religion. Finding out why you are angry may be useful. Until you do, you are not truely free at all. That’s my free advice. Take it or leave it.
Take a rope, tack it to the ceiling, pull a chair underneath the rope, stand on it, tie a loop of the rope around your neck, tip the chair, hang there, count to ten. Take my advice, you’ll never have to deal with this list of crap again.
Not angry with anything. Not out to piss people. Just freeing my mind of all the idealistic and false religions I have seen and partially believed through my life.
An empty mind is a pure mind. God is good. He wants the mind free from any noise. Metaphysical independence. An explanation is a set of cause and effects. A formula, interactions, experiments. Seen from outside the whole system it is just a drawing, a painting, with no intrinsic value. FREE YOUR MINDS!
Ok, so it seems like you’re saying that you’ve decided to worship the concept of having an empty mind and freeing yourself from all religious thought structures. Cool idea. Let me know how that new religion works out for you. In fact I’m pretty sure there will be a few other members of that particular church around here somewhere. Maybe you guys could meet up and throw a service or something. Or maybe you could all sit down together and draw up a list of rules for membership and a statement that defines who can be inside and outside your belief structure. Oh…sorry…I forgot…you’re not religious…right?
God is Nothing , A nonexistent Singularity with a zero value existence , because obvious he/it is nonexistent.A religous Singularity worshipped amongst schools and churches alike.
THESE PURPLE CLOWNS THAT WE SHOT DON’T EXIST ANYMORE!
ye who liveth for today shall die for tomorrow because they do not care if they last too a yesturday.
like the MATRIX , not a RELIGION!.
Sex is reproduction for the village (population) , but too many villages (United States,Over Population) we are running out of room, we have plenty of people , don’t worry do somethig else for fun!.
Money is value, it has none.
too much work kills , too little work chills.
TimeCube is proggressive thought toward evolution instead of extinction!.
you just used Art-consumerism , NO IDOLS ALLOWED!
(unless ot’s your last name or the name of a comapny it is legal , says me , have a nice day , and fuck you!)
we could do without.
ok 10) stupid and evil religous and academic singulairty worshippers.
(most of the world’s populace lol)
Can i fill that Slot?
I can’t argue with you there! ( and i really don’t want to)
FREE YOUR MINDS. I accept any and all contradictions because I don’t worship LOGIC, COMMON SENSE, REASON, COHERENCE etc. That is all bull, it is just a painting, an organizing principle, but I could care less. Anyways, I don’t know anything, I am totally clueless about everyhing and proud of it, even though being PROUD is a sin according to some. Anyways, I admit, I SUCK.
It’s lame when people start with a false premise, then build the world around it.
“Freedom” and “liberation” = non-action, irresponsability?
Your poor parents had to feed you, they weren’t free, they had to do that, so that you could be alive, and sit around saying useless and crazey crap for a non-existent freedom and against devotion to a catagory of goals.
Even your typing words on your keyboard, is your brain controlling your muscles and hands, and “control” is not “free” is it?
Here’s the paragraph I found really found interesting mastriani…
here nameta describes those ideas that have stuck because “the explanation is just something useful for us in organizing and predicting the world”
So because these ideas (wherever they are from) are useful, we should get rid of them and believe in nothing instead? Because the belief in nothing does a wonderful job of explaining the world?
There’s a reason cliche’s are effective, whether the mythological cliche of the savior god, or the mythological cliche of the man who talks to god in a cave… it’s something we desire to connect with.
Practically I accept everything, science is useful and technology and we are never really free etc. If you just look at the whole system from a far enough angle it is just a painting, anything is equivalent, take out our subjectivity and sense organs (pain/pleasure, successful/or not etc.). Science is carved out through our path of pain/pleasure, usefulness/or not. Art is Science.
With or without god everything is ASTONISHING, A MIRACLE, IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND OR CONCEIVE.
Wait...so does that mean I can go back to being a Christian again, without anymore crap from you? I mean, if you don't hold to any of that stuff, then A) I have no reason to listen to you because you're crazy, and B) you pretty much have nothing to attack Christianity with (or voodoo, for that matter).
Also, you use way to many ALL CAPS to truly believe that you are 'totally clueless about everything'. It reeks of false humility.
The first fallacy is to lock up your conclusion in your definition -ie- We all ‘worship’ something. Really? All I have to do is say “or not”. and the house of cards collapses. I have a glimpse of what you are trying to say, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to find a different way of approaching it.
Art-consumerism. These are false IDOLS. Billy Idol is the only real IDOL.
