Religions do play a key role in how we survived. If you were to know that there was no afterlife and nothing you did here had consequences of a higher being humans being the unpleasant species that we are would kill each and every last one of each other. The religious believe that without a God in your life you can never be good. Is that true? Are you so weak-willed that without guidance you are no better than any other Savage animal on the planet? Are you that stupid or are the religious under estimating our capabilities of determining right and wrong for ourself? Are they afraid that you will think and draw your own conclusions about existence and what it means to be alive and sharing a planet with billions of your own species? Are they afraid that you will actually put Faith In Yourself and evolve into a higher being no longer needing to be part of their masses supporting them?  If you want to be more you have to want to be more.  Free yourself from your knowns and sense the world and company anew for the first time to be present in your life not repeating your ancestors past but actually making a new future. You are no longer a dumb caveman.  You are a free and equal natural born citizen of earth in the company of our family.  Are you going to let history convince you otherwise?  Do you feel a need to harm or kill your family? Enslave rape murder?  Do you need to judge their worth?  Profit from them?  Manipulate them to support you? You must separate your desires from histories desires.  Our ancestors made mistakes we need not repeat them.  If we live and care for our family we should love and care for our family, all our family.  Every mother father daughter and son deserves the best we can give and our ability to give is miraculous.   Its time we all did to finally bring world peace to earth by being the peaceful beings required to make it a reality.  Evolve step into the present and create our new future.  I come in peace choosing to voluntarily help.  I hope you do too.
