i really don't care...

this could be the most offensive thing that has ever been posted on this blog, for some anyway...

Christians are a funny lot of spiritualists. let me qualify this potential rant by saying the following:

the Bible is not a factual historical reference. it is a collection of mythology intended to guide human behavior...

if you are at all offended by the above statement, i don't know what to do for your poor soul.

anyway, i recently had the misfortune of having a pseudo-intellectual discussion w/some dude i used to attend classes w/as an adolescent. things seemed to be going well until i plainly derided capitalism as it currently exists as the foul system that it is. this is not to say that there is no way capitalism could function w/o destroying everything in its path, including humans. it is to say that the current form of Euro-capitalism is detrimental to the universal balance that exists whether humans exist or not.

so many humans are completely oblivious to the fact that existence is not a possession, but a condition of reality. we do not own anything that exists. the reality is that we share this shit just like everything else in existence. our finite minds are generally so limited that humans have developed the concept of ownership to make themselves feel self-important. imagine that.

so, back to dude...

he decided in his use of logic to dispute my assertion that capitalism is the product of European environmental socialization. unfortunately, he is apparently fully socialized into the system and decided to justify the existence & perpetuation of capitalism by quoting the Bible. again, imagine that.

the Bible...

it's kinda scary, 'cause dude's profession as i understood him is an economist. what the fuck does the Bible have to do w/capitalism? not a goddamned thing. odd argument from someone who thinks. perhaps he did not know what to do w/my ideas and observations. it seems that when humans are challenged at the foundations of their world view that they often resort to spiritual orientation as support. i suppose there is nothing wrong w/that, but it is not really a substitute for logic.

don't get me wrong, i do not support the idea that logic/science is diametrically opposed to faith/religion. within the construct of my world view, this is patently untrue. both science & religion are based on things that cannot quite be proven. what is the difference between theory & faith? not a goddamned thing. i suppose you could say science is an educated guess, and religion is just a plain old guess. either way, both are still guesses. bottom line is we as humans don't really know much of shit about the realities of the universe. we speculate greatly, but generally speaking, we know jack shit. the reality of infinity to a finite being is the fact that there is just too much shit for us to really know any goddamned way.

oddly, dude asked if i was an atheist. i kindly responded in the negative. i am neither atheist nor agnostic. for lack of a better human reference, i am a universal spiritualist. get it right motherfucker...

no, seriously, that is the best way i can explain my belief system to any other human. it's so simple it's complicated. figure that one out & get back to me...

make like dude emailed back after i squashed the Bible as a factual reference text...

PEACE
...be calm...
