I God got !

Today I saw the traffic lights almost go red. I pushed down on the pedal I made it through just in time. Miracle? I drive to work every day and whenever I can, I will speed up to 150-160kph (where 120kph allowed), but I have thus never received a speeding-ticket. Miracle? But no matter how fast or slow I drive, I am always at work around o-700 in the morning. Miracle?

Naah, I refuse to believe in miracles. I am an Atheist. Raised in a Roman Catholic Culture, never went to church on Sundays, never prayed. I have been baptized and all that crap, so technically I am considered to be a Roman Catholic. But children can be so gullible and made to believe anything, I know that now. But even going through that whole process at my Catholic school, I had always felt something did not make sense.

 When I was about 9 or 10, I went on holiday with my parent and my brother. This was going to the week, my eyes would be opened for the first time. I found an actual fossil high up in the mountains in France, a fossil of a seashell, and I recall clearly thinking for the first time: “What is that doing here?”. That same holiday I saw something orange on the street. In my childhood innocence I thought it was just a shiny piece of plastic and I kicked it. But it was no shiny piece of plastic. It was a orange nudibranche. I was horrified. Instead of kicking a piece of plastic, I had actually killed the invertebrate. The poor creature had just gone on its bizz on a cold and misty morning high up in the mountains of France, but met my foot instead, and had its insides smeared over the  tar road. I think my parent never knew what impact it had on me. Now 3 decades later, this is still one of the most vivid memories I recall from my youth. These 2 events during that holiday had an impact on me. It turned me totally into an Atheist, though it would still take me several decades to actually say it. So I was technically agnostic for a long time, not realizing I was actually an Atheist all along. Youtube and events in the Catholic Church tilted me totally.

The immoral armies of Religions backed up by fairytale deities, against the dedicated forces of science. Religion is immoral? Yes they are, … they all are. Take the Christians for example. They believe Atheist are immoral because God transcended his morals down to earth, from the fall in paradise to Jesus H motherfucking Christ nailed on the bloody cross, and he let human prophets write it all down in this convenient fucked up piece of crap we call the Holy Bible. I do not even have to explain the Quran for you. 9-11 is all the proof you need, for how moral Muslims are.

There is a war raging on this planet.

Whatever need there was in the natural development of Darwinian man, for deities to come into existence, it has evolved into a political tool of pure monstrosity for a long time now. Religion has got nothing to do with Deities, it has all to do with politics and people wanting to control the masses for their own benefit. I am almost 100% sure that the religious leaders in Iran, watch themselves in the mirror while jacking off, every night, while saying: “Oh yes, who’s got the powa, who’s got da powa!” … I believe they do the same in Rome, but they probably ejaculate all over the television while watching a children’s cartoon network. The American television evangelists are also an example how much power corrupts. Ken Hovind, rofl. You realize there is a petition website to get him freed from jail? That is how indoctrinated Christians in the USA are in their faith. They can be made to believe anything. Innocent my ass.

The Future of Mankind (part 2): Is War Good or Evil?

(See the video for this text blog on YT, here)

 On a scale, war may be the most violent event that can be put on a society. However from an individual viewpoint, for a human in the warzone, the experience of them on it, may differ greatly. An example is World War Two. Those that were in the concentration camps, suffered greatly, though an individual that lived in the countryside of some country during World War Two, may not have suffered at all during those years. Experiences may thus scar you or not. One can thus argue that war –as an experience- is factually just a collection of individual experiences. Seeing it like that, the scale of the war does not matter, as “the war” is felt individually. But yes of course, it may be a shared group experience. If your society, your country, your group, your clan, your tribe, have a large number of these suffering individual experiences, then the war becomes an event shared by a society. However since there is no group conscious, war will still be experienced as an individual event.

“War” as a concept is not unique to mankind. Ants as an example do it on a daily basis. Ants from one Anthill will raid other Anthills for food and yes will even raid them for new workers (slaves). The difference is consciousness. Though we cannot place ourselves in the mind of an ants and may not be sure of the suffering of a individual ant during an ant-war, what it at least shows, is that the concept of war has a value in the natural world. So the question we should be asking ourselves, if war is to be bad , are the natural evolved mechanics evil? Well of course not. A mechanism cannot be considered bad or evil. The mechanisms that evolved in the natural world serve a biological purpose and have no consciousness.

What is important about the Ant example though, was the point of consciousness. We humans have the ability to look at ourselves and judge our own actions. We consider ourselves “intelligent” great apes. Our intelligence made us what we are today, but it has also broadened the gap between us and the natural word. It stands to argue we do not live in the natural world anymore, as much as we did thousands of years ago. Our scientific and technological development has drawn walls around our global human society,… and everything we do today, is done from a higher viewpoint looking down on the natural world. Our framework of references and experiences are not that anymore of a creature living in a European forest, the Sahara desert, the south American jungle or the Australian outback. If we put a human city-dweller in a jungle, the change he or she will come back out alive, is slim. 

Now why would that be important to know? Simply, because if our frame of reference is different compared to that of the natural world, our frame of reference on war is that too. I would have no trouble with ancient cavemen smashing each other’s brains in, if the valley where they live is lacking food. It is for pure survival they will be doing that. On that they will not differ too much, for me at least, with the ants. I do have problems with modern massive warfare.

The moment an individual human suffers an experience in a war situation, he or she will be as close to  the natural world as he or she can be. Animals experience pain too. Though it would be sad, if you are a grazing animal on the plains of Africa, to be torn apart by a pack of hungry Spotted Hyena’s, whose sole goal would be to feed their own bellies and to feed their cubs. Within the framework of modern human developed society such suffering of pain, is simply not acceptable within the evolved framework, because the framework we are using is not that anymore of the natural world. The individual suffering would be immoral. So for the individual experience, war would be evil, as we should know better by now, and we have the ways to prevent it. We should be smart enough, by now, to simply say “NO” to it.

So the answer would be “Yes, war is evil” compared to the a single human suffering.

Another question should be asked then too. If for the individual experience war is evil within the evolved modern framework of the developed modern human brain, … then how about war as a tool for societies? But that is a question for another blog.

The Future Of Mankind (part 1): Communication

(See the video for this text blog on YT, here)

One cannot deny that at the beginning of the 21st century, mankind seems as divided as ever.

It were Neanderthal-man and Cro-Magnon-man, now so long ago, fighting each other culturally and physically, for the dominance of Europe. Neanderthal-man disappearing from the face of the planet. Cro-Magnon-man carving its way through another ice-age, to end up at the top.

Homo Sapiens, the knowing man, if only he had known what future lay ahead for his children and their children and their children … etcetera

From the Stone age, to the bronze age, the history of mankind aging ahead, towards the atomic age, and now ending up in the 21^st century.

With time knowledge grew, has grown, is still growing. With speech, cultures could florish, and with cultures came unity, for the one. But unity can also divide. If you have two tribes with a different culture then at some point in time, they will clash and fight it out. Which culture is the better one?

A dishonest question? …Perhaps. Because if you know nothing else then your own culture, then your culture is always the better one, because then … your values can only be determined within the boundaries of your own culture. To judge, one can respectfully only do so, if you understand –that- what makes other cultures tick. What makes cultures tick? What is culture?

A group within the global society of mankind, with certain beliefs (not always religious), showing certain behavior (in the widest meaning of the word) towards other groups within the global society of mankind, setup with the parameters of their specific ability for symbolic thought and social learning.

It does not negate the ability to learn new things and respect new customes. But it has the risk you may not be able as part of that group, because the group may attempt to stop you from mixing with other cultures, to protect their own unique culture from being tainted with the wrong beliefs, values, theories, thoughts from the other.

But understand –culture- has a wide meaning. If an Aboriginal and an Inuit are both Roman Catholic, then besides them living thousands of miles from each other, can still have a part of the same culture in them, namely that part with in them, that part which originates from the Roman Catholic faith. On everything else they may not seem to mix, and probably will not.

So cultures divide as well as unify.

But at the dawn of the 21^st century it is as clear as ever we are still as divided as in all the centuries and millennia before us. Is mankind doomed to fight each other in wars (in all its forms) forever? Do we lack the ability to compromise on cultures, always with the attempt to protect our own?

We may lack that ability indeed. After all it is only natural to defend your own borders. Your culture is just another border. But, now there is something else that is changing us. That one thing is science. We evolved with a brain and we used that brain. Yes, knowledge is true power. It allowed us to shape the world around us and made large parts of our world technically able to allow interaction globally.

Science is magnificent.  From marathon man, the horse-courier and signal fires … to the telegraph, post by train, radio communication, telephonewire systems, satellites,  … to its applications, texting, the internet, social media, uploading, downloading, … mankind is communicating now, more then ever before.

And I believe we have no choice. If we do not, then we are doomed to destroy ourselves. Why? Simply, … because the world population is becoming so large, the only thing that can save us, is talking to each other, accepting each other cultures and values. And we have no other way to accomplish this then using the inventions science has provided for us. Use them properly, or go the way of the lemmings.

Those that are unwilling to communicate, will lead us to destruction. Because it means they are unwilling to compromise. Communication is salvation. Compromise or die out.

Where will all this, lead us too? Perhaps, in some close or far future, the world will truly be one, have one culture. Mankind free of the strict rules of some cultures now, like religions that only serve to undermine mankind’s development of the brain, being reason and free-thought.

One world, One mankind, One global society, One culture, … ONE FUTURE.

Space Shuttle Discovery

An epic voyage spanning 3 decades. The space shuttle Discovery is on it's final mission. NASA honored the ship and it's current crew with a wakeup call to them, presented by William Shatner -a.k.a. James Tiberius Kirk from the Star Trek Original serie- I made a video around the video NASA themselves put up on their YT channel.

To find the link to the original video or the NASA YT channel see the description on YT.

I made my first YT video for this blog.

A joke revealed: The Rapture on 21st May 2011

For some time now various religious leaders have been saying that the Rapture will start on 21st May 2011. The Rapture will start the process that will lead to the end of the world.YT is filled with uploaded video's trying to tell us that.
But I am an Atheist. I do not fear May 21st, because the (start of the) end will not happen. All these religious inmoral creatures are trying to do, is make you afraid. They want to make you afraid because they hope to draw you into their church of lies. When they have succeeded in that, they will intimidate you and indoctrinate you, take your money and try to keep you into their misguided religion. Vulcano's, earthquakes and rebellions in the Middle-East are all events these cowardly religious inhumane persons will use to fool and trick you by saying 'See! See! It is happening already!'

And then ... on the morning of May 22nd 2011, they will come up with an cheap excuse, telling you: 'Geez we were wrong! It must be this and that date. We overlooked it, but we studied it better now, so we DO know the right date this time!'

I am wondering though ... how many Christians will commit suicide on that very day, or the days right after? Because their minds can not understand they were so wrong and will try to seek salvation themselfs this way. How many sects, some that we perhaps do not yet even know about, will commit mass-suicides around that time? Will the Gov of the USA and in any other country hold these inmoral religious leaders and all those that spread their deceitfull words, responsible for their actions, ... prosecute them and put them in jail?

Perhaps Kent Hovind, the famous religious tax fraud creationist, has a spot free in his jailcell. Ow geez, Kent Hovind is going to miss the rapture? Kent, ... do not drop the soap on May 21st 2011!

YT's csbair: On 1000 Subs and an Argument of World Views

Atheism is a worldview, it is not a Religion, not Theism. There are many 'battles' on YT. YT users debating eachother by posting video's and counter-video's, and these debates, or fights, have become bigger and bigger the last few years. Atheists fighting video battles against Theists. One such a person is csbair. Here is one of his video's, in which he tells about this YT-wars, wins and losses, in which he also proposes to his viewers to put this video on as many media as they can find. As such ....
