it is interesting to consider the current state of humanity if certain belief systems were not instituted & used to indoctrinate the general public.
i have a strong moral code. i think i do. i am no saint, but i am not a generally malicious person either. seems the average human is so selfish that individual behavior often manifests itself in such a way as to cause the suffering of others. this is too true for group behavior as well.
i am mildly willing to concede the need for the foolishness of religion for the purposes of what i will call crowd control. apparently discipline is too much of a challenge for the average human. human vanity is truly far more evil than any denomination of money. the root of all evil is the human psyche.
imagine being so vain as to create mythologies that completely remove the responsibilities of human activities from humans. damn near any negative human behavior is somehow ascribed to some unknown, outside force/entity. how many different devil/demon mythologies exist? these creatures/characters are the scapegoats of human imperfection. how easy is it to attribute the consequences of imperfect human decisions on anyone/thing outside of the human population?
the amazing thing is how little people question these clearly delusional behaviors & ideas. motivation exists as a mystery only when a behavior cannot be explained and/or communicated in clearly acceptable terms. there are many human behaviors that have no rationality involved in them whatsoever. it is far too convenient to attribute these behaviors to non-existent beings...
make like religion exists w/o human existence...
PEACE
...be calm...
