God. A Grand Speculation. (BETA)

God is only a construct of the human psyche.

This is based on naturalism. As I like to put it, the natural is what we wake up to every day. What we know exists because it just does. We can stop believing in it, and it's still there...

   There really is no disputing that we are all sense based creatures. We see, smell, hear, feel, and taste the world. What we interpret from these senses are purely a product of our mind's often faulty interpretation of information.

If I see the color blue, I am receiving photons of a certain spectral form which then my mind weighs against my other senses, and what they are percieving at that moment. Eventually I see blue (it could actually be a different color, but if the surrounding environment and other sensory perception leads my mind to blue, that is what I see). This is just how we work.

   These senses are beyond slightly fallible. We can hallucinate, have insane dreams, and even completely change personality, or who we are our proverbial soul, with a little viral infection or brain damage.We also like to order things from a child putting the square block in the square hole to Faces, patterns, and so much more... We like to make order of coincidence as well.

   Here is a demonstration of this from my own experience. When I go to the super market I say a little prayer (I know, atheist blasphemy). It goes like this, "Asphaulta, Asphaulta, goddess of grace, please will you grant me a parking space?" This is said with the implied intention of getting not only a parking space, but a good one, preferably up front. When I say this little wish, some of the time I get a space right up front, sometimes a little further back, rarely though do I not get one. Of course that goes without saying. There always will eventually be a space for me to park. The interesting thing is it happens that I tend to remember and cherish the instances where I get spaces up front more vividly. Something in me fools me into thinking that saying this prayer improves my chances of a closer space. Any statistician would tell you that's a matter of chance, in reality. But in my mind, in some way, I think I am, or rather Asphaulta is, making a difference.

We sensory creatures see not just order, but also interaction where there is really only random coincidence. This disposition leads us to come up with all sorts of reasons, true or false, for things to happen. The concept of god comes from this. Our testimonies about god also come from a mixture of our fallible senses, and our desire to make sense of everything..

   There is no reason other than presumptive hypothesis to assume that god exists. Belief in spite of this is supported by followers of religion because they are conditioned by society, churches, parents, etc... to perceive certain experiences to be explained by god. To further back the idea of god, psychologically, we have the problem of mortality and no control. God, the concept, helps us with these dilemmas by comforting us with ideas of control, via perceived prayer, and protection. In reality there is no need for god as an explanation for any experience at all. Coincidence is everywhere and supposed successful prayer, as displayed with Asphaulta, is only our ordering of it. It really is just our want to believe and often our lack of understanding of our perception.

God is only a grand speculation.

"Fundies"

Fundamentalism is the lack of ability to think outside of the box.

I have found in my short amount of time on twitter that there are many people who claim, and would even go so far as to think, that they are free thinking people. They claim to think for themselves, but fall into the philosophy of another. The worldview they often reach is in the scope of generalization. They say things like, "all Christians are idiots!", "all theists are fundies", and much, much worse. Not only does the act of name calling create walls of disdain, it also solidifies the view that all atheists are hateful people who are miserable and angry.

That being said. I will hold my view that theism is the wrong answer to life's questions. I will not tell anyone what to believe, but only what is wrong with their belief.

We are all products of our environment. We think the way we do because we were taught to by the experiences we have. Being a theist doesn't make you an idiot. It does make you assume your right. You're probably not.

Religious people, fine by me.

Religious people! God is an idea...often a very good idea, when it comes to psychological well being in terms of death and your human lack of control over reality. Again, it's only an idea. If you think prophecies will or have come true, you're wrong (and like to read into coincidence). If you think god speaks to our spirits (also only an idea), you're wrong. If you think god creates disasters because of sexual acts, you're wrong (and quite possibly a bit obsessed).

If you understand that god is an idea, but still choose to believe in it, whichever one it is, and proceed to think with your mind and not with your figurative "bible of choice". You're fine by me. :)

Sunday School

You can dine in heaven or hell,

I'll be fine in the dirt.

I'm so sick from these situations,

Watching little four year olds getting hurt.

Because they're totally susceptible to your,

Socialized belief,

And it's totally irreparable you're nothing,

But a thief,

Because you steal away your own children just to,

Adjust their minds,

Tell them what their allowed to believe

And waste away their time,

And you can walk out through the arches

Just like taking off a coat,

But they cant escape for a moment,

To them the devil, it is no joke,

You don't understand my plight

no evidence I've seen is quite

anything other than delusions

I don't want to go to Sunday school

Teacher keeps giving me nightmares

and I dont want to be mindless,

Just like all the other kids,

Mama, I Don't wanna go to Sunday school!

Give me one good reason why you,

think I need to pray,

I don't need an insurance plan,

I don't need a just in case,

And would god need my worship would he,

Want me to waste my time?

Would he like to see what I could create

In my given time?

If there is a god above I mean no disrespect,

I'd rather try to believe in love,

then we'll see what we get.

Truth

For some reason people dance around the truth an awful lot. They don't want to tell you that maybe you've got some egg on your face, or a bat in the cave. They don't want to say, "I disagree" (At least I don't). It's a problem that we all have. A lack of honesty due to an attempt to be PC.
Be blunt, it's important.

P.S. Don't be ignorant about it.

Jesus is rizen-ed

Jesus will return on the Raptor!

He told this guy I know to tell someone entirely oblivious to me, kind of like a preacher, to email me about it with the explicit instructions that it end up in my spam folder. After a few months, I read it and it told me the truth.

Not proof enough for you?

God appeared to Mr. Oblivious in a dream. With a gasp, god entered into his soul. They softly spoke of a green lizard for which Jesus would mount and ride unto the ends of the earth, his name, "Steve". In spurts and stutters he sss-ssp-spo- sp... er, talked of this dream in which Jesus, and the dinosaur would come and show everyone the truth. In this magnificent moment Jesus would say, "Religion is bullshit."

Some say I made it all up. Maybe I did, but what if I didn't?

Words.

where do bad folks go when they die?

they don't go to heaven because angels lie

or down to the fire where the devil hides

everyone seems to be outside their minds

I'm inside mine?

Someday I'll find a way out of my mind

right now I don't want to be blind

though I sit around and fuck my head every night

I just wish that they were all out of my mind
