Quotes on Religion. Wilde, Oscar.

It is the confession, not the priest that gives us absolution.

Most religious teachers spend their time trying to prove the unproven by the unprovable.

Religions...may be absorbed, but they are never disproved.

Medievalism is real Christianity and the medieval Christ is the real Christ.

People fashion their God after their own understanding. They make their God first and worship him afterwards. I should advise you however to postpone coming to any conclusions at present; and if you should happen to die in the meantime, you will stand a much better chance, should a future exist, then some of these braying parsons.

Scepticism is the beginning of faith.

To the wickedness of the papacy humanity owes much. The goodness of the Papacy owes a terrible debt to humanity.

My religion for the day

Today I believe that the suffering of life is synonamous with the aching process of new life. Beyond puberty we develop a personality that puts our young souls into its adolescence. As our souls grow up, we develop strange fears and foundations for happiness that is connected in resonance to all the other young souls and we become young parents of the newborn souls that are being harvested for more complex vehicles. The vehicle of the body dies and a tempered soul is pushed out as a ripple though the social structure of homosapien. The ripple is our influence through generations, institutions, zeitgeist surfing and "creative" works.

Comp tech to door

I did this rough sketch, it is from my 'Compensation technique' collection. Ripple effect and topography. Union of art, philosophy and geography - perhaps this is why I like the pre-socratic philosophers so much. Cartesianism did the same a union of moral philosophy with science with a bit too much metaphysics... just joking - one can joke that there is too much metaphysics since they are all abstract hypothesis and adore the system all at the same time.

Today I believe in a deity that guides humans through their DNA and doesnt concern itself with the individual lives in tiny pockets of time and space. It is a non disclosed outcome - the lot of Homosapien.

From: 'the scientific Deists handbook'

by Sid Galilei

Homosapien

noncomprehend broad strokes through

affect is only evidence of something bigger.

This is our advantage to life forms detected

but assumtions plague civilisation

a limited lamp

intelligence gives us resistance

to this spinning light in a dim expanse

I invite you to increase your faith

Religion removes our ethics then gives it back to us in a different form, the whole time we think that we owe religion our souls.

We begin loosing a natural need to practice humanitarian ethics and feel no impetus to work with what we have, thinking that it means nothing because this world falls away and we reside in a perfect place in the afterlife. Just dont break religious laws, and since you are a natural sinner bow to the deity to be forgiven and they will let you in. So thankful that you "know" God.

Sometimes an abused spouse feels feels like they deserved it. Becoming brave the abused step away temporarily then loose hope and return to their familiar power exchange.

What is there really is a centralized consciousness? I would be ashamed to buy into religion and cast my faith to a man made deity. In order for Faith to be pure, one must give up superstitions and stop assuming that you can possibly comprehend an absolutist apriori. The religious have shallow Faith. Become brave and stop believing in what is fed to you in your youth. Become brave and strengthen your real faith. Become a more perfect vessel for our oneness to flow through.

I am not expecting the masses in general to be able to do this, but it is an open invitation to the few.
