[Opinion] The Great Division

[beardedeldridge]

Just keep arguing everything away so your mind doesn't have to step out the comfort zone.

My only point is that you keep sounding a lot like the people you think you have nothing in common with, that are worthy of extermination, and other truly horrible people throughout history. And that thinking if we can only get rid of ______ people then everything will be amazing is nothing new.

ie people are people and if we want things to change then we have to decide we want them to change despite our nature. Nothing comforting about it. Just the way it is.

Take care of yourself.

If we want the world to change, we have to go within. Remember, the external world is a mirror of you.

Indeed.

Like Michael Jackson said:

"If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change"

I feel the world is at a inpass, history proved one thing after a each major plague or virus, society breaks down. EG..the Roman empire.

But I feel the world is certainly filed with negativity and negative energy

first there was adam and he was bored to death, so he nagged and nagged and nagged and god decided to listen. god took adam and tore one of his ribs out. found some dirt, called it flesh, did some magick and eve got borne. adam and eve went into the woods and thought they would live happely ever after, but nah. god got bored this time, so god came by AGAIN! and this time he set up tricks and gave them some of the rules of the game. adam and eve totally annoyed god came by unannounced, decided to eat dinner alone and not be polite. dinner was roasted snake with caramelized apples. god smelled it, so he felt it and this made god angry. so angry he put a spell on adam and eve. the most evelist spell god could find: a Love spell. and he knows its evil cause gods lady friend lilith created it.and it freakin damn works!!!!

adam and eve fell in love unto earth where sex was THE Thing, it was da '60 ya know. those lucky bastards fell with their noses right into an lsd trip showing them how you become 1 again and then again with 2 people and then again.

so yeah, lets divide, so we can love a gain..

I don't think they understand the article you shared, but why do people in the comments attack religions they don't believe in?
This is a funny situation.

 

[8Lou1]

lots of dualities going on at the same time i guess

I think, because even if the religion itself is complete horsefeathers, its consequences are real, and those consequences aren't usually good.

It's easy to see the number of leaders throughout history who have used religion as an excuse for what they wanted to do anyway, and I'm afraid I'm a bit sceptical that the religion of Mithras would have ended up being any better than Christianity by the time tribal leaders had got hold of it.

you gave the answer yourself but let me enlighten you, humans are imperfect, it is due to our cunning, it has nothing to do with religion

My view is that most religion is, itself, divided into two parts:
1) a moral code that functions as a social contract
2) a half-assed way to do magic
