What is your take on religion

Orion Seraphim wrote: Through my years of studying religion; personally i feel that religion is such a waste of time. It is such a primitive way to structure communities of people. It obviously worked back when our species was un-intelligent to the world around us (excluding the torture involved in any religion). But now it does nothing but hold our progression back. It still is a clever way to get people together and collaborate but it infringes on the progression of our species simply because your getting people (humans of one species) to choose a side against all others (their own species). Im not saying this in a radical sense (as in terrorists and jihad) but regardless their is only one belief and that is that we exist and all that we do affects each other either emotionally or physically. Were blank canvases and what we do affects the future in some way (that is not even a belief its a proven fact).

I have been researching for the past years asking the question if humanity has a game plan and unsurprisingly we don't. You believe that!, us?; these gods of planet earth, these intelligently designed species don't have goals as a species, as a whole. It's crazy we are literally practicing what Einstien said best "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" (exclude any conspiracy thought in regards to war and money, those are actually systems we need to move forward as blurry as they may seem to some). Our species literally keeps practicing things that aren't moving us backwards but are keeping us at a halt (in some ways, im not speaking towards biological engineers, robotics pro's etccc who are Christians or whatever. They obviously move us forward despite their beliefs.)


What i'm trying to say here is; I have realized that religion is a stand still subject whether your Buddhist or Christian because it does nothing else but create a system of beliefs and a community of people to associate with when the belifes and the community of people is your species its self. I personally feel that if their has to be a religion they have to move away from the progression of humanity and live among themselves rather among those who choose not to think in one way. As open minded as a religion try's to be, no matter how hard it tries it will never be open minded because it is a religion, it's naturally designed to think in one way (this includes atheism as well because they deliberately challenge other religions, work towards the one way thinking and this fact puts them in the list of a religion). I have yet to find a religion that is structured in a way that thinks other wise, other than the idea of Scientology because it teaches communication, metaphysical and other neat philosophical and ideological things but at it's core a majority of the people are arrogant bastards. It's like they put full belief in the law of attraction. I found that Scientologists are attracted to the idea of what it teaches but don't listen to the teachings.




Religion; an old model for minds who have yet to discover themselves and their surroundings.

I'm currently pissed so no mercy for you.

1. Jihad means a struggle, how is this supposed to be a deficit against religion? Is struggle exclusive to religion? Is this not a Jihad against religion?

2. How do you know we don't have a game plan? What is a game plan of existence supposed to look like? In that how is this what is happening right now not the game plan of existence?

3. You say a Christian could be the next eddison and come up with the next way to evolve society, technologically. So the belief has no bearing on advancement. The existence of the belief is what is the destructive force for the person is... Yet Christianity in the Early Church embraced new forms of technological advancement. They argued against the flat earth theory, which suprise suprise was actually an atheist theory. In embracing the greek forms of mathematics muslims have cultivated some pretty significant achievements and adaptability to said science.

4. Religious people are closed minded...I have prayed in a Masjid, a church, taken part in Druid and Wicca rituals while they all knew that I had a completely seperate and different belief to them. How is that not open minded? Or do you mean that religious people never question their religion? Like C. S Lewis or Buddha or take the big bang theory, an idea proposed by a Roman Catholic which has been used to explain the universe outside of divine creation..


5. You never even ask the bloody question "what is your take on religion?" and just insult religion.
