A gdje je bog?

"Lud je onaj ko poredi teologiju i nauku.
Lud je onaj ko posmatra samo jednu religiju kao pocetak i kraj, kao filozofiju zivljenja, kao jedinu istinu i vrh ljudskog saznanja. Sve religije su nastajale na drugim, uzimale od proslih i ponesto dodavale. Sluzile za zaludjivanje manje pametnih a i kao poluga vlasti i cijele civilizacije.
Svrha postojanja religije u pocetku je bila da ljudima koji nisu imali saznanja o svijetu u kojem zive da uproscena “saznanja“. Kasnije je religija postala klasni instrument za pljacku stanovnistva i zivot uske grupe svjestenstva na racun potlacenih. Naravno crkve su se uvijek oslanjale na vlast i bile podrska vlasti.
A gdje je bog?
Prodat od svestenika za udoban zivot. Sirotinja je dobila pricu o zagrobnom zivotu a bogati zastitu crkve od pobuna sirotinje. Zastitu su naravno morali placati. I u danasnjem vremenu se nista nije promjenilo.
Boga su izmislili ljudi i dobro ga unovcili."

Revolution of Consciousness

The main crisis of our life, though there are vast changes going on in the world of science, of mathematics and all the rest. Technologically there is tremendous change going on, but in the psyche of the human being there is very little change. The crisis is not in the outward technological advancement, but rather in the way we think, the way we live and the way we feel. That is where a revolution must take place. This revolution cannot be according to any particular pattern, because no revolution, psychologically, is possible if there is merely the imitation of a particular ideology. To me, all ideologies are idiotic, they have no meaning. What has meaning is what is, not what should be. 

Sunset

Yesterday I saw a beautiful sunset, marvelous colors, the extraordinary tranquility that comes of an evening at the time of sunset. The light is entirely different and all that I've retained. The mind has taken it in and next day, in an office, or in a school, or in the kitchen, or when I'm by myself, I look to that delight. It comes up in me naturally and then I'm looking out of the window, hoping to see that again. But it never happens again, because the mind looks at the new sunset with the old mind, with old memories. But if you can die to the sunset of yesterday, totally, then you can look at the new sunset...

Religiozna Zivotinja

Covijek je religiozna zivotinja. On je jedina religiozna zivotinja. On je jedina zivotinja koja ima PRAVU religiju, nekoliko njih. On je jedina zivotinja koja voli bliznjeg svog i prereze mu grkljan, ako mu vjerovanje nije pravo. On je napravio groblje od svijeta u pokusaju da svom bratu omoguci miran, srdacan i srecan put do raja…

Top 10 znakova koji ukazuju da si fundamentalni Hriscanin

1. Negiras postojanje hiljada bogova koje druge religije/ljudi slave, ali se nadjes uvrijedjen kad neko kaze da tvoj bog ne postoji.

2. Osjecas se uvrijedjeno kada naucnici kazu da je covjek evolvirao od drugih zivotinjskih vrsta, ali nemas problema sa Biblijskom pricom koja kaze da smo nastali od blata.

3. Smijes se politeistima, ali nemas problema sa svetim trojstvom.

4. Poludis kad neko sa ljubavlju prica o Alahu i Islamu kao religiji mira, ali i ne trepnes kad cujes pricu u kojoj je Bog/Isus poklao svu dijecu (Exodus) i naredio da se cijela jedna etnicka grupa izbrise sa lica zemlje (Jevandjelju po Jovanu) naravno ukljucujici zene, dijecu i drvece.

5. Smijes se Hindusima koji se potcinjavaju zivotinjama i Grcima koji su tvrdili da bogovi spavaju sa zenama, ali nemas problem vjerujuci da je Sveti Duh oplodio Mariju, koja je onda rodila covijeka boga koji je ubijen, pa je uskrsnuo i odletio nazad na nebo.

6. Spreman si, da provedes cijeli zivot trazeci rupe u naucnim dokazima, npr. u tacanu starost zemlje koja za sada varira za nekoliko milijardi godina, ali ne vidis nista pogresno u zapisima iz bronzanog doba koja su nastala zahvaljujuci plemenima koja su sjedala u satorima i mislila da je zemlja svega par stotina godina stara.

7. Vjerujes da ce cijela svijetska populacija, (naravno iskljucujuci one koji vjeruju u istog boga kao ti) provesti vijecnost goreci i muceci se u paklu i jos uvijek smatras da je tvoja vjera, vjera mira.

8. Posto moderna nauka, istorija, biologija i fizika nisu uspijeli da te ubijede da grijesis, neka budala koja se valja po podu i mumla budalastine je sve sto je potrebno da ti dokaze postojanje boga.

9. 0.001% uslisenih molitvi smatras kao veoma veliki uspijeh, to je smatras dovoljno da zakljucimo da molitve "rade". Ostalih 99.999% ne uslisenih molitvi su jednostavno zelja bozija

10. Ustvari, ti znas mnogo manje o Hriscanstvu, religiji i crkvi nego bilo koji Ateista, Agnostik ili Skeptik, ali ipak sebe nazivas Hriscaninom.

D-evolucija Covijeka

Najveca kriza sa kojom se covjecanstvo danas suceljava je kriza svijesti. Ma koliko kog se nekome pricinjavalo da covjecanstvo napreduje i da se razvija, to je sve samo ne tacno.
Covijek je i dalje onakav kakav je bio vijekovima unazad.
Brutalan, nasilan, agresivan, sklon konfliktima, okrutan i cijeli sistem, drustvo, norme, i vjerovanja su izgradjena po tom principu. Potreba za masovnim naoruzanjem, vojske, policije, raznorazna obezbjedjenja, nisu nista vise nego znak da covijek i dalje u sebi ima zivotinjski instinkt.
Ma koliko god se religijske institucije trudile da se prestave kao mirotvorne i skroz bezazlene, zbog njene moci da covijeka skrene do razornih kurseva, svijet bi mogao zapravo dozivjeti neki apokalipticni dogadjaj koji religijske vodje cesto najavljuju zbog nekih trivijalnih, prirodnih ili skroz beznacajnih stvari tipa: neumjerenost u jelu i picu, genetski inzinjering, van-bracni sex, samozadovoljavanje, abortus ili homoseksualizam.
Cinjenica je, religija mora da umre da bi covijek mogao da pocne da zivi.
Moramo da odbacimo stare norme, stare obrasce, drevne tradicije, posebno nacin zivota.
Religija nije nista vise nego jedan prevazidjeni drustveni sistem, tvoren od strane covijeka a ne obratno...

Benny Hinn aka. Prevarant

Popularni Televangelist i "FAITH HEALER" Benny Hinn zavrsio u bolnici zbog problema sa srcem.
Mozda zvuci "nevjerovatno" ali Benny je odlucio da ovaj put ipak potrazi strucnu pomoc a boga stavi po strani...
Ostaje nada da ce stado koje je pratilo ovog pastira napokon shvatiti poruku...

Vjestice i Hriscanstvo

Vijekovima postojase vjestice.
Sveto pismo tako kaze.
Sveto pismo zapovjeda da se njima ne dozvoli da zive. Zbog toga je Crkva, nakon sto je 800 godina lijeno i nemarno obavljala ovu duznost, sakupila konopce, klinove i baklje i uistinu prionula na sveti zadatak. Radila je naporno, nocu i danju, i tokom 9 vijekova zatocila, mucila i spalila citave armije vjestica i njihovom necistom krvlju umila hriscanski svijet. A onda je otkriveno da tako nesto, vjestice, ne postoji i da nikada nije ni postojalo.
Covek ne zna da li da se smije ili da place.

Blijedo Plava Tacka

Sa ovog udaljenog mijesta, Zemlja mozda izgleda beznacajna, ali za nas je drugacije. Pogledajte ponovo tu tacku. To je ovde. To je dom. To smo mi. Na njoj, svi koje volite, svi koje poznajete, svi za koje ste ikad culi, svako ljudsko bice koje je ikad postojalo zivjelo je tu. Skup svih nasih radosti i patnji, hiljade samouvjerenih religija, ideologija i ekonomskih doktrina, svaki lovac i svaki skupljac, svaki heroj i svaki plasljivac, svaki stvaralac i razarac civilizacije, svaki kralj i seljak, svaki mladi zaljubljeni par, svaka majka i svaki otac, dijete puno nade, pronalazac i istrazivac, svaki ucitelj morala, svaki korumpirani politicar, svaka superzvjezda, svaki vrhunski vodja, svaki svetac i gresnik u istoriji nase vrste svi smo zivjeli tamo, na cestici prasine zaklonjenoj zrakom Sunca.
Zemlja je veoma mala scena u nepreglednoj kosmickoj areni. Sjetite se rijeka krvi koju su prolili svi oni generali i vladari, da bi u slavi i trijumfu postali momentalni vladari dijelica tacke. Sijetite se beskrajnih okrutnosti pocinjenih od strane stanovnika jednog piksela prema jedva prepoznatljivim stanovnicima nekog drugog coska, njihovih toliko cestih nesporazuma, tolike njihove zelje da ubiju jedni druge, njihove zarke mrznje.

Nase zablude, nase umisljeno samouvazavanje, obmana da imamo neki privilegovani polozaj u svemiru su suocene sa ovom blijedom tackom. Nasa planeta je usamljena mrlja prekrivena velikom kosmickom tamom. U nasoj bezizrazajnosti u svom tom prostranstvu, ne postoji nikakav znak da ce pomoc doci s nekog drugog mijesta da nas spasi od nas samih.
Zemlja je jedino mijesto za koje znamo da sadrzi zivot. Ne postoji ni jedno drugo mijesto, bar ne u skoroj buducnosti, dje bi nasa vrsta mogla migrirati. Posjetiti, da. Naseliti, ne jos. Svidjalo vam se ili ne, Zemlja je mijesto dje se trenutno nalazimo.
Kazu da je astronomija pokorno iskustvo koje izgradjuje karakter. Vjerovanto ne postoji bolji pokazatelj gluposti, ljudske sujete od ove slike naseg svijeta sa udaljenosti. Za mene, ona naglasava nasu odgovornost da se jedni prema drugima odnosimo ljubaznije, i da sacuvamo i negujemo blijedo plavu tacku, jedini dom za koji znamo...

The Demon Haunted World

There is much that science doesn’t understand, many mysteries still to be resolved. In a Universe tens of billions of light years across and some ten or fifteen billion years old, this may be the case forever. We are constantly stumbling on surprises. Yet some New Age and religious writers assert that scientists believe that “what they find is all there is.” Scientists may reject mystic revelations for which there is no evidence except somebody’s say-so, but they hardly believe their knowledge of Nature to be complete.

Science is far from a perfect instrument of knowledge. It’s just the best we have. In this respect, as in many others, it’s like democracy. Science by itself cannot advocate courses of human action, but it can certainly illuminate the possible consequences of alternative courses of action.

The scientific way of thinking is at once imaginative and disciplined. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they don’t conform to our preconceptions. It counsels us to carry alternative hypotheses in our heads and see which best fit the facts. It urges on us a delicate balance between no-holds-barred openness to new ideas, however heretical, and the most rigorous skeptical scrutiny of everything new ideas and established wisdom. This kind of thinking is also an essential tool for a democracy in an age of change.

It Is Time For Changes

The social values of our society, which has manifested in perpetual warfare, corruption, oppressive laws, social stratification, irrelevant superstitions, environmental destruction, and a despotic socially indifferent profit oriented ruling class; is fundamentally the result of a collective ignorance of two of the most basic insights humans can have about reality. The emergent and symbiotic aspects of natural law.

The emergent nature of reality is that all systems; whether it is knowledge, society, technology, philosophy, or any other creation; will, when uninhibited, undergo fluid perpetual change.

What we consider commonplace today such as modern communication and transportation, would have been unimaginable in ancient times. Likewise, the future will contain technologies, realizations, and social structures that we cannot even fathom in the present.

We have gone from alchemy to chemistry, from a geocentric universe to a heliocentric, from believing that demons were the cause of illness to modern medicine. This development shows no sign of ending, and it is this awareness that aligns us and leads us on a continuous path to growth and progress.

Static empirical knowledge does not exist, rather it is the insight of the emergence of all systems we must recognize. This means we must be open to new information at all times, even if it threatens our current belief system, and hence, identities. Sadly society today has failed to recognize this, and the established institutions continue to paralyze growth by preserving outdated social structures.

Simultaneously, the population suffers from a fear of change. For their conditioning assumes a static identity and challenging ones belief system, usually results in insult and apprehension. For being wrong is erroneously associated with failure. When in fact to be proven wrong should be celebrated. It is elevating someone to a new level of understanding, furthering awareness. The fact is, there is no such thing as a smart human being, for it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, changed, or irradiated.

And this tendency to blindly hold on to a belief system, sheltering it from new possibly transforming information is nothing less than a form of intelectual materialism. The monetary system perpetuates this materialism not only by it’s self-preserving structures, but also throught the countless number of people who have been conditioned into blindly and thoughtlessly upholding these structures, therefore becoming self-appointed guardians of the status quo. Sheep which no longer need a sheep-dog to control them. For they control each other by ostracizing those who step out of the norm.

This tendency to resist change and uphold existing institutions for the sake of identity, comfort, power and profit is completely unsustainable; and will only produce further imbalance, fragmentation, distortion, and very invariably destruction.

It’s time to change.

From hunters and gatherers, to the agricultural revolution, to the industrial revolution, the pattern is clear. It is time for a new social system which reflects the understandings we have today.

Evolution: It's a thing - crash course biology

If death is the only certainty, is there then meaning to life

THINK
Sartre was a great novelist but I found his attempt at phenomenology too dry for comfort.
Camus on the other hand, is equally comfortable in both domains. Camus began his thesis by proclaiming that there is one question in life, and that is whether to commit suicide. If life has no meaning, then what is the point of living?
His title is apt. Sisyphus is that tragic figure in Greek mythology who was condemned to eternal toil in Hell.
He was tasked with pushing a huge rock up the slope, and as he reached the peak, the rock would roll down back to its position. Then the same toil repeats itself, for eternity. If you think about it, Sisyphus fate is a little like our daily life.
We were born, protesting and crying, without the right to be consulted. Then we will all die, crying again at leaving our loved ones. In between, there is just a huge blank for us to fill in.
Everyday, we go though the motion of living a life, a routine of going to work, eat, sleep...
We are bound by layers and layers of social norms and obligations that thwart our puny will to be ourselves.
We mortgage our freedom to our business, our family, our nation, and our tribe. We live through an entire life, without knowing who we are as individuals.
You know how modernity is.
It celebrates life, hope for tomorrow, and the greatness of the human spirit, those elements that make Hollywood movies so popular. Rambo and Rocky immediately come to mind. Nobody wants to talk about death and dying.
Yet, death is the only ultimate certainty in life. You can never get out of this life alive. The more you celebrate the human spirit, the joy of life, and the hope for tomorrow, the greater disappointment it will be when you face certain death.
This is the ultimate absurdity of human existence. This is the most fundamental alienation of our being!
The sick feeling in the realisation of this contraction has been variously described as angst or ennui, festering beneath the surface of every person’s facade of a normal life, coming back in the dark depth of night, when he is confronted with himself alone, or when he has just suffered a personal catastrophe.
Sartre used to say that we are all amateurs in this business of feeling lonely, and every man lives in quiet desperation.
For Camus, he provides the answer to his question of suicide in his book The Rebel. Life may or may not have meaning, but it is up to us to create our own meaning.
That is how existentialism got its slogan: existence before essence. For him, the act of rebellion against the absurdity of existence itself, especially through art, is the path for the absurd man to live.
“Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being,” he wrote.
I just wonder: how many people today are closet existentialists, especially among the younger generations. People do not like to discuss such deeply sensitive subjects as the meaning of life with our friends. We do not want to be seen like freaks.
Camus’ question does not bother me any more. Do not ask me my formula, because I have lived a relatively long life to find my own answer, and my answer may not be suitable for you. You have to find your own answer.
So, what is the meaning of your life? Or is it not a relevant question for you?

The role of doubt in science and religion

One of the best examples that explain why science and religion are two incompatible doctrines, is doubt. In science and scientific progress, doubt has an essential role, it is a value, a necessity, a basic foundation, that without it science cannot advance. When a scientist conducts an experiment and gets results, the first thing he / she must do is to question these results, to repeat the experiment, to try and refute their own conclusions. Maybe a factor that was not considered before created a bias? Maybe the initial data was biased? Perhaps there is another explanation for the results? These and many more questions are constantly being asked by the scientist, as well as by his peers that judge the scientific work. In fact, in order to publish a scientific paper, the manuscript must go through a process of peer review, in which the reviewers, who are experts in the field of the study, try to doubt everything in the manuscript; from the initial hypothesis and data collection, to the methods, the results and the conclusions. This is their job - to doubt. And even when they all agree that the results are valid and accept the conclusion, it must be always kept in mind that yet, there could be an alternative explanation.


Therefore, a scientist does not “believe” in something, he “accepts” it, always keeping in mind that there might be an alternative explanation. Sometimes the evidence is so overwhelming that the chances that there is another explanation are very close to zero, but it is always there, doubt.


In religion, it is exactly the opposite. Doubt is not encouraged, and whenever doubt comes to one’s mind, it should be suppressed. Actually, the opposite of belief is doubt. If you doubt, you don’t believe. If you doubt God, you don’t believe in God. Therefore, this very basic human behavior of doubting is highly discouraged by religious leaders, religious parents, religious schools etc.


I urge you – doubt. Study, explore, don’t just take what you have been told for granted. There are millions of Christians convinced that their religion and their god are true, and everything else is not, they don’t doubt it for a minute. There are millions of Muslims who think exactly the same, without doubting it even a bit. The religious Jews are convinced that they are the chosen people and that their religion, and nothing else, is true, without a doubt. From those who believe in black magic in Africa to the Hindu, everyone puts aside their doubt when it comes to their religion. Again, because doubt is the opposite of belief, doubt is the greatest enemy of religion.
