Each to their own personal belief and freedom to follow it as they see fit. No projection onto others. Even as an atheist I would fight for peoples rights to freedom of religion. If everyone could just see it that way I think there would be less issues with personal religion. Cheers tico.

Cheers tico. agree fully with this i do find it interesting that the personal god and its rights and wrongs usually align with the persons rights and wrongs exactly ,its almost like you do the thinking then assign the hard work to something else rather than take the credit yourself not throwing shade on it just an observation ,if i did have an objection to it it would be that i wished people would take credit for there ideas and not give it to a god but if that was all religion was as described above then the world would be better for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion to me is a farce whereas science has brought us some great inventions but at the same time some evil and devastating inventions. This is a superficial reading of Religion in my view. Not that you aren't entitled to your own perspective, just thought I would share mine, even if no one asked! Religion is clearly innate to us as a species and likely began as semi-mystical experiences when we were still primates unrecognisable to the modern day human, such as we see in Chimps today: If we take a Jungian perspective Religious dieties are sacred archetypes. In different races and geographic areas these differ wildly, from the Archetype of the Buddha in East Asia, the monotheistic Gods of the Middle east, the Pagan dieties of the Indo-Europeans and Persians. The Archetype that a people hold sacred is one of the ideal, the uberman, so in freezing hellscapes in Germania and Denmark these were the Archetypes of Wotan and Thor, masculine strong warrior Gods, full of wisdom and justice, but with the ever present threat of outbursts of estatic violence. However if we go to hotter climates, with less scarcity, less need for tribal violence and more dense urban centres, we see the abandonment of Paganism based on blood ties and kin-specific religious identities to all encompassing universalist monotheistic religions like Judaism, Islam and Christianity and their offshoots. Essentially we are the Gods, they are idealised versions of ourselves and our ancestors and when we suplicate to them and perforrm rememberance for them and the people before us who worshipped them, we bring them to life. This is a pretty smart evolutionary tool, because adherence to mystical higher non-materialist ideals is evolutionarily advantageous, the Tribe or peoples who are most willing to kill and die and suffer for their people are the ones who win the competition for resources, pass on their genes and win the game of continuation. Religion currently lies dormant in the subconscious of the western man. But when things kick off there it will be interesting to see how those archetypes re-emerge and solidify. There will never be no religion because Religion is an evolutionary tool and those who don't identify with a faith will be completely outbred by those who do and the non-religious will simply dissapear. This is why the only places religion fades is in prosperous, safe nations where the need for it has left because in group preference isn't needed, or when it is supressed and its followers subjugated. However as we have seen with the reemergence of the Orthodox in Ethiopia and the former USSR, or the Muslims in China, once they are free to practise again or strong enough to rebel and kill those suppressing them they will. And look at the modern secular man devoid of religion. No identity, addicted to meaningless consumption, only concerned with materialist thought and nihilistic transgression. Sports are his outlet to escape his lack of identity, he gets his community online and he often never has a family of his own. Now look at Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists. I know which society sounds more fullfilling to me. Its the poor ones who still have religious identity. Not the one where we are all too smart for religion and the leading cause of death for young men is suicide and overdoses. Sorry for the long boring post guys, I just find this topic fascinating, not saying I have all the answers, I can barely remember the questions.

Monotheism was the plague Nietzsche saw it for. Alas had Rome crushed Jehovah, we could have escaped this single minded literalism and law of monotheism and remained Pagans. I love the stories of the early European adoptees of Christianity wearing crosses upside down to get double protection from Thor and Jesus.

When I am typing I will often put letters in the wrong order in the exact same way. For example Hte instead of The or thouhgt instead of thought. It doesn't happen when I write only when I type and only for very specific words. I know at least one distant relative of mine has it.

I know at least one distant relative of mine has it. i only really have it with numbers although i do jumble letters up in words but with numbers say im doing a sum and you break it down into bits to make it easier ,i get the first bit ive broken down and often have the answer for that bit but then i get confused as to where i am in the sum which makes me then forget the answer to the bit i just solved then i lose what i was trying to solve in the first place ,the other thing i get is i cant look at say 3 bottles on a wall and see theres 3 i have to go down the line and count them for whatever reason my brain doesnt process it so i have to count and when you get up to 5 things or more i get confused as to where i am in the line whilst counting ,im told this is common though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
