To go along with this.. If you beleive in god do you really beleive humanity is the ultimate species?
Just wondering.
Think about it. If a giraffe became self-aware and gained intelligence in the way we perceive it, it's god would think like a giraffe, and be a giraffe, granting giraffe wishes and instinctual needs.
If there is a god, or a higher consciousness, I don't beleive, in this life time, that i'll ever tap into the understanding (at least, on a current conscious level) of what it's like. It could be as simple as nature, or more complex than the human brain can comprehend.
They didn't just know about atoms, or blood cells. These things existed right under our noses, technically, ARE our noses, and we had no clue. Maybe some day humanity will acheive a higher understanding, something concrete, even if it's the knoledge that nothing is concrete.
But to assume that because I am human, becuase I have more power over this planet than any other of it's natural life, the higher power is going to have the same mentality and understanding of reality as I do.... it just baffles me how some people can allow themselves to beleive this.
I consider this planet's stage of life, relatively nothing. I don't beleive we've even touched the surface on what life, time, fate, alternate dimensions, god, love, or truth, really is. But that's just me. I know, deep inside, that I would be happier if I allowed myself to be consumed by a religion. To become a zealot of faith, to cover up all my wounds (fears) with bandages and make-up, so that I didn't have to wonder if this is all pointless.
But throughout history, religion has caused more evil than good, in MY opinion. In my heart, what I perceive as love and selflessness, positivity and happyness, are things that can flow from any idea, to the darkest things in existance. With time, comes fluctuation. Nothing is permanent. And if nothing is permanent, nothing is concrete. Anything is possible, but even that isn't true.
Fun, isn't it? :dance:
