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.
