| if you are too aggressively passionate about anything other than god or
religion its almost considered a lunacy, and that limits man's conscious growth
|
its kinda seen as religion and god is the limit, we cannot go beyond that understanding
|
| so we have no deep
fervor for life we are taught that our most fervor has to be for god. so we dont
passionately love or seek life and existence or anything else with the fervor we seek god. |
our ultimate survival, the continuance of carbon based life
or even the survival of our universe may depend on mankind's
ability and accomplishment. this "fervor" may be needed if man or maybe even the universe is to succeed in the grandest sense of things. |

if you are too passionate
about anything other god you will be looked upon as strange. but in the name
of god you can be as passionate as you wish in the bigger sense of things. |

this may be the deepest
reasoning i have about mankind's belief in god and religion. i have
always felt something was "wrong" with believing in god but i
never had deep reasoning or a reason deep enough to "compete"
with the scale of religion. this self -realization / lunacy concept may
be the highest point in my study, research and effort. its almost like
all my effort has come to together at this one simple point at this
moment. its culminated, but just at this moment. over time my efforts
and study may become less focused and scattered as i pursue experience
and learning. but right now, i feel like i have found an almost single
point to focus on.
and this point and focus
will probably be the main point of my book.

written while in rome, italy
st peter's is built on such a large scale that if it was about
anythng else other than god it would be considered lunacy-
this is when i first thought the "lunacy" concept.

i wrote in a daily;
"believing in and giving credit for the world and everything in it
to something that doesnt exist. crediting a non existing entity
for something we and the hominids that came before us are
responsible for." "im getting excited. i feel like im getting
to the basic core problem with religion. it erases the
accomplishments of humanity. thats low self esteem on a macro
level!! generation upon generation told they are bad and worthless.
that everything good comes from god. that man is bad. all through my
childhood i went to church and heard people thank god for everything in
their lives, even waking them up that morning. man strips himself of
all power and accomplishemnt!!!! this is not a lie cause the people
preaching this truly believe it. this is the distribution of mis-information
on the grandest scale. "

"Atheists such as Ludwig Feuerbach held that God was a projection
of human ideals and that recognizing this fiction made
self-realization possible"

a search a week later leads me to:

journey through subjective experiences
what i like about
researching and finding ideas, people or theory that agree with my
philosophy is that i dont have to do that part of the research again. i
can build on existing research and ideas by understanding the theory and
conclusions. also its a point of reference. i can refer to
"popular" or widely known work that people already know and
can locally reference. and also i can research for work that has been
done on this point in the years and time that has passed. |
