Also, here's your reality. Just got done writing it up.
The Philosophy of Religion..or whatever.
Upon introduction of Christianity one usually hears of a (or multiple) God(s). One may assume this is the basis for all religions...
In an attempt to appeal to each individual and undividual (if that's a word) one may assume agnosticism wherein a person should admit they have no philosphy on the matter as their primary religion (if that is possible.) Bleh.. So... Speaking unbiased, omnipotent, and irrelevant has taken several moments each word I've written and I won't be doing it any longer.
One might be capable of quantifying any Religion as a Philosphy. Being as the books/scriptures/lessons/etc have been passed through so many mouths/hands one would be extremely betwixt attempting to verify the accuracy of each. I'm not going to do that here. My intentions are far more scrupulous..My intentions are to unify you God-Forsaken people (if that's even a legitimate phrase.)...and animals actually, animals are fine, I have no preference who participates in communicable society.
For dramatic effect I'll start where things got complicated, for me - Solipsism, Brain-in-a-Vat, and possibly Idealism.
One might think the biggest difference between religion and philosphy is that religion is true and philosphy is a thought but my main intention here and now is to, basically explain that religion is a philosphy and that should pretty easily unify the human race. Don't you agree? It's not that simple, of course...the multiple languages spoken are also a terrible inconvenience. Okay..so...Philosphy is largely the study of existance whilst Religion is the study and practice of existance.
A key factor of religion is ancient, written texts of "true" events wherein a God or Gods of sorts actually exist. Whether or not they did exist, still exist, will exist, or if the written texts are "true" is not of any real concern...and the reason for that is that everything is changing. Take a moment and look, breath, count...everything is changing...That or Those God or Gods may have or have not definitely existed and that's fine. A descriptor of religion, one in my position often attempting to unify the world by the dismantling of improperly organized religion, often defines religion as a "belief" or a "faith" rather than an acknowledgement and awareness of factual information. That is also fine...It makes no difference at all. Read on.
If all zips are zoos and all zoos are zods... Religions are philosphies but philosphies are not neccessarily religions. A philosphy is, both basically and ultimately, the study of the universe, of reality, et cetera. Phsyics, Chemistry, Math, History...one might have you believe these topics began as a philosphy, but the truth is that they are still philosphies.
A fact..something these topics intend to deal entirely with...is actually not a fact. It's a perception..It's a statistic. Until the entire nature of "reality" is understood these "facts" such as 2+2=4, a statement if you will, is more loquatiously (semantically) spoken/defined as "If reality exists, 2+2=4. If reality does not exist, then 2+2 also does not exist and we, who also don't exist, are capable of acknowleding it's nonexistance as we are one in the same."
Complicated, right? Nonsensical?
Let's look at those unanswered questions from your religions. Who created God? The response is almost always God has always existed and always will exist. How so? Well, God is omnipotent.
Omnipotence is equivalent to everything. Omnipotence, by our current definitions (words and their definitions, also, change over the years) is equivalent to having unlimited power. This is absolutely foolish because power, by definition, is wattage...P=IxE, Power = Amps x Volts..Power is electricity. If a God has unlimited electrical charge he 1. is irrational and 2. hasn't had any rational for existing. It's like imagining God, or Gods, is, or are, a scientist in an immortal, endless sandbox with a nuclear reactor...the sandbox is Electrical Charge.
We all know what omnipotence means, so let's forget that Google has a laughably simple-minded definition of it. Omnipotence is the capacity and capability to control everything and, possibly, nothing (if nothing even is a thing.)..you are a thing, time is a thing, etc, fyi. How did a God or Gods begin existing? He/She/It/They always existed because they have total control. So...we're all slaves, or, atleast, menial. That'd suck, let's try to debunk it.
How did/do/will God or Gods exist?
According to Christianity religion, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..loosely interpretted to mean in the beginning God created everything. Who created God; God has always existed or God created "it"self. Asexual archaebacteria used to create themselves...cells create themselves when they divide...but that's with some help from the outside..some nutrients, etc..Let's start there.
God, with unlimited control, created "it"self. We can all, immediately, understand this as nonsensical. The reason for such is that a God or God(s) couldn't have unlimited control if they didn't exist! and a God or Gods couldn't create "it"self if it already existed. Even with unlimited control, yes? Not neccessarily. Read on.
God, with unlimited control, has always existed. This is also immediately understood as nonsensical unless you actively think about it...For anything to exist it has to begin existing, so where/how did reality begin? For reality, everything, to begin existing, it, logically, must have, at one point, not existed. Such and so that you can only imagine Nothingness. Interestingly enough, if nothingness is all that existed..a totally empty, black void...not even that..utter nothingness... That nothingness would be, technically, everything...and everything came to be. Quite perplexing.. We can now equate Nothingness and Everything because Nothing would have been Everything..and now nothing makes sense anymore because Everything that exists is equivalent to nothingness.
It might be fun to continue this topic, but let's skip ahead, I've made the ultimate point..I was just going to reiterate it a hundred times. God always has existed? That's cool, so god is Everything. Well, no, god created everything...right from his unlimited control. We are his control.
God created itself? Still cool; same finisher.
Get over your stupid principals and change with the rest of the whatever this is. That **** happened? Cool. It's not happening now, ****. "God said this and that for the future" Cool well God created us it's his fault whatever happens...I can do the bad **** and it's his fault - He created me how I am, he gave me my freedom, built my environment, etcetera... Nawww, man,,, in every moment when you have a decision, God is there telling you what's right..you gotta defy him to chosoe wrong and do bad man...Wtf are you saying he created me, right?. He created this. He creates the future. Naw man, God is tryna leave everything to us man, but we gotta do right man..God built me dude, in his image, yeh? If i goof up it's cuz he did. If you've got voices in your head that's your problem buddy. I'm not saying it's right to kill people; I like society..and if you don't want to co-operate I think you're outnumbered..but these "facts" about why we're all doing this and Jesus's ghost or whatever partying in the sun whatever dude that's fine go do that...and I would go..honestly I would go..but you said if I don't go you'll frkn destroy me. That's uh...an extremely aggressive personality type that I'd rather not asosciate with, eternally. or you're joking about destroying me and that's cool broh maybe I'll drop by thanks for the invite....cuz even if there are Gods and even if we are Free and even if there are no gods and this is all luck (or not luck, by the way..read back) it certainly doesn't seem like I'm omnipotent so I can't really garauntee I'll be at your party broh. Oh you're omnipotent? Then I don't really wanna go to your party...not really fun to look at things you can't get...and even if you show us all how to get it, after we die here, then I wasted all this time not having very much fun at all.
I mean..i can control my emotions, so I do tend to enjoy my time here, but it's really not..i mean again it's sort of an aggressive thing to do to someone when you could, easily, provide nothing short of perfection, anytime. What's the point in this? Fixing your mistakes? That doesn't sound good for me, sounds like I'd be better off avoiding you 'cuz you're not that great.
Idk..Long story short, none of it makes any sense, with the words that exist in the English language...not your religion, not theirs, not the math, not the science, have your heard of quarks? Wow.
Lets think about it like you do...First and foremost, love God all you can...well step one is acknowledging God, buddy..Step two is tryna find God so that you aren't throwing your love at thin-air, telepathically. How you think you love god all you can while youre pretending that 99.9% of what you see is wrong? These other people god made them broh, how you gonna try to discredit your fellow man, your fellow god-made man? Who cares how god made mankind..Who cares what he's going to do with it? Who cares what he has done with it? ...Maybe if you'd try to connect with your Gods rather than hope they hear you....LIke wtf are you doing? You love god, but you don't want to connect with him? Maybe he's shy, quit saying it's okay if he doesn't respond you know he's listening, he's all-powerful, he can make time to talk with you...If you're not willing to stand up for yourself, in an attempt to love god as instructed, wtf...You're more afraid of failure than you are interested in proving your love for your God...You're so afraid God might not respond when you say Enough is enough, please talk to me so I can love you more profoundly..what are you afraid of? Losing your inner peace? Idiots...all of you......
These "facts" in the "texts" from ancient encounters with "God" and the stories of things to come and you simply having faith is not, at all, you loving god as best you can. Not at all.
.Anyone else got anything? Yo, can we get a translater in here, too (can't trust Google after that..God has lots of electrical charge..blunder. Like what about quarks broh.) ?
