Just animals

  1. As humans we have a selfish drive that leads us to believe that we are far superior, and unrelated, to all other worldly creatures. Hence the creation of all world religions.

    But we are not, we are just animals.

    For having reached the top of the food chain, not through physical strength but through the use of reason, intelligence, and technological development, human beings have got this imprinted, indoctrinated sickness. It is the belief that they are distinct from the world, and are of immaculate, separate importance. Words have thus been created to prove it, we have a “conscience” through which we are advised what to do by a perfect beast; we are made "in the image" of the perfect beast, humans have been given the "breath of life" from a three-letter word that obstructs the reality of our humble status in this universe.

    Now as in everything, it has hard to swallow ones' pride. And having been placed on its pedestal, it would seem illogical to bring humanity back down to the ground by revealing the reality that no sort of grandeur of mankind, nor of God, is logically present in this universe. Of course, it seems like a bleak outlook, yet it is of course completely necessary to spread this truth.

    For it is no longer imperative for us to rely on the supernatural to hold belief in the greatness of the world. The child believes in Father Christmas because he is told to, it is an unexplained fantasy that we all love but eventually grow out of. We are now in the adolescence of humanity, and though people deny it, now is the time that we must question the God that men have previously known as fact. Along the lines of Nietzsche: one day the world as a whole will reach the age when we are naturally going to figure it out, and God's grandeur will inevitably pass away.
     
  2. You are so right.. exactly what I know. It's sad only a few people see it.
     

  3. Sad because they enjoy their lives just like you do? Without believing what you do? Is it better to crusade, or risk being crusaded to?
     
  4. No it's sad because the don't know the truth. Out of all people, you would know this, no?
    And yes, everyone has a different mind set. You can look at some homeless guy and say to your self that you feel sorry for him.. but in his mind he is having a wonderful time and things couldn't get any better. That's all that matters, ultimately.
