Are religions full of shit?

If there are over 4000 religions (actually there are over 40000 variants), and new religions being created every day, shouldn’t someone be asking why?

If a religion is suppose to instill some sort of morality or ethics onto its followers, with as many devout individuals following all these different religions today, shouldn’t the world be at peace by now? It seems to me religions cause the exact opposite result. They separate the Human race further apart and is one of the largest reasons for many of the past and current wars. Doesn't that make religions more dangerous to humanity then drugs or terrorism? So what’s the point of a religion, what does it actually accomplish besides high body counts? Why do we still tolerate their existence? Why haven't we started a war against all religions?

The way I see it, there are 2 possibilities. Either there is a creator or there isn’t. If there is a creator, then that creator created all 6.5 billion of us. We are all the same, brothers and sisters. If there is no creator, then the creators are our parents. Again, we are the same, brothers and sisters. So creator or not, why are we, brothers and sisters, fighting and killing over the details of our origin? Isn’t the more important thing to consider is that we exist, that we have life, and that we are here now?

10,000 years ago Humans believed in order for the Sun to rise it had to be worshiped. Today, we know this as ridiculous. In another 10,000 years, how will humanity look back at us and view our behavior stemming from the beliefs of 4000 different religions?

Most people forget that todays most predominant religions were violently forced onto our less than bright ancestors and again, today we continue to blindly pass on to our children what our parents taught us about these already 2000 years old religions. How long will this go on? In essence, we are the ones continuing the possibilities of violence and the forcing upon of the future generations. If you can’t trust Humans with your social security number or trust that a message can make it one-time around a crowded room intact, why would you voluntarily enslave your mind or teach your child to enslave their minds to aged philosophies that divide the planet and stem wars?

Shouldn’t we doing the next best thing? Instead of putting our beliefs in a higher power, shouldn’t we putting our beliefs into ourselves, the children of the creator(s). Isn’t world peace and harmony an important goal of and for the children?

In my eyes, the facts that over 40000 different variants of religions exist prove to me that ALL religions are full of shit, are no longer relevant, and do more harm to the Human race then help.

Someone should create a bumper sticker, "Guns don't kill people, 40000 different religions do!".

If a creator does exist, I know the only place I could ever look and ever trust for information on spirituality is from within myself. To understand what is right and what is wrong I do not need a book, chants, prayers, rituals, hope, or any other intermediary claiming to speak for the creator or some religion. I only have to use the brain and heart in my body that has been evolving on this planet over the last 50,000 years to draw my own conclusions…helping other beings is right, harming other beings is wrong, being indifferent is a sin, sharing is caring, and cooperation trumps competition. That is a true faith.

Ha! If people had followed me instead of their religions, maybe we would already have world unity and world peace!

Greed as THE motivator

Is greed really the best thing to teach to a child?

Do we really need to dig very deep when analyzing and pinning the blame for the behaviors of our planet? We have made it so currency is absolutely necessary for survival, and the more currency you have, the more assurances of survival you receive. Therefore, we can’t get enough of that root of all evil. Greed has become the natural environment of our upbringing. This is what you and every parent teaches children. So after 50,000 years of Human development, we have never learned to cooperate and share, simply because it has never been taught, globally. So what happens if you don’t share a planet’s resources when 6.5 billion people depend on it for survival? War, crime, corruption and prisons…and that’s just for starters. Is this worth teaching greed for?

I consider myself to be a 21st Century Human. Why was I created? My purpose in life is obvious, to live in the present, to help others as best I can, and to contribute my talents to our civilization's benefit. It is why I am here. And what I love most about living in the present is that it changes the future.

I know that this ancient planet has been here long before the Human race. Humans are her current dominant species, every single one of us, fortunate to be alive and living off her resources. To think on the circumstances that had transpired for us to exist as we do today is just mind-boggling; and we still are changing, evolving. In another 50,000 years the Human race will look, act, and live nothing like it does today. And right now, the Human mind and body is amazing. Each of us is capable of anything and maximized through education, practice, and technology. Most of us have something to contribute to our race to further its progress, comfort, or entertainment and only need an avenue in which to share it. We must realize all of this and more when we think about how we should be collectively acting while trapped on this planet together.

In time, we adapt to new information and wonder how we could have ever assumed we were correct before. The Earth is not the center of the Universe. One does not need to worship the Sun in order for it rise. Slavery is wrong. Women should have the same rights as men. All humans are equal. And in all this time, we never learned to globally cooperate and share. Boy, we still act like the cavemen and have a lot to learn.

In our development, cavemen applied a survival of the fittest mentality. And that’s where it has remained up until today. So why not make the evolutionary change in the 21st century and teach humanity unity and shared prosperity for all instead? Isn’t most of our greed stemming first from that basic need for survival? If we made it humanities responsibility to take care of each and every being on this planet, an evolution would occur. For the first time the cavemen beasts would be allowed to become matured civilians of the planet Earth.

What if we did provide prosperity to all and openly shared resources, education and technology to every single being on the planet? What would this world be like? First and most importantly, we would not be teaching children greed, because it wouldn’t be necessary. If everything is shared, everything is free. Actually, I can’t imagine what 6.5 billion highly educated and practiced Human beings working together, organizing, planning, and sharing could create or consume when their sole purpose and motivation is achievement and their only limitation is safety and imagination. I would love to find out. I’m guessing with a little time, space travel and futuristic cities depicted on sci-fi movies with flying cars.

It is always the older generations that fight hardest for the greed to continue. The youngest generation have the hardest task of implementing the change. The future generations would accept the new lessons without question.

This Earth, our lifeboat, is our home. She cannot be cut up and portioned for sale. We all belong to her. She belongs to all of us. We all are her global work force. We have evolved brains and are the dominant species because we have the power to reason. What mind with reason would intentionally separate her peoples from her resources? We all got here the same way. We all require the same necessities for survival. Our evolution has provided us with great tools and sciences, why are we not already sharing the planet and all of her resources for our species continual survival, comfort, and progression?

So I ask again, is greed really the best thing to teach to a child?

21st Century United World Coooperation

Does the United Nations serve to unite or divide the planet Earth?

I am extremely disappointed in the Human Race. We have entered into the 21st Century and the majority of the planet still act like cavemen. Our leaders still beat each other over the heads with clubs and take or trade what they need. A minority of the wealthy control the planet, the greedy have turned Human progress into a game of acquisition, the educated have become a slave labor force, and the remaining majority is left to poverty, suffering, and incarceration while the planet is being slowly raped of her natural resources. How can we ever become an advanced civilization if our leaders, teachers, and parents fail to use any of their highly evolved brains? It is time for a change in leadership and thought process.

This ancient 4 billion year old planet, Earth, is our home, our lifeboat. None of her is for sale, she belongs to all of us. The current generation of inhabitants, over 6 billion of us, are identical in the fact that we all are born here, we all exist today, we all have the same rights, we all require the same necessities for survival, and we all are the result of over 50,000 years of human development. Although we are all unique beings, we are all still of the same race, the Human Race.

Each generation has and will always have 2 choices, to share and cooperate or not to share and cooperate. If the planets’ resources, including our over 6 billion member workforce, shared everything, than all the needs and desires of the entire species can be addressed and met. If the planets’ resources are not shared than it requires we fight and hoard, and survival granted only to the fittest and most cunning, while the majority must be made left to suffer or die.

Our Human ancestors decided not to share the planet and created clever devices, such as trade, competition, religions, banks, empires, and nations to determine progress and to control the divisions. This hording continues to today. The planet Earth divided by imaginary lines of borders and labels, divides the humans race, divides the resources, create jealously, greed, hatred, poverty, slavery, superstition, crime, and a perpetuation of the ancestral design for survival of fittest. In essence, Humans have unintentionally decided to remain cavemen and to shoot holes into the boat of which survival depends on. In my opinion, in the 21st century, these acts of not sharing resources should be interpreted as criminal acts against Humanity.

One must recognize the control and manipulative powers over mankind that governments, corporations, religions, and banks have had and will continue to have unless changed. They are detrimental to our planet because they have no conscience and function for their own selfish purposes. These timely institutions perpetuate the divisions, greed and distrust that occur between humans.

The Human race is incredible. Each and every one of us is capable of producing and accomplishing anything we can imagine. Our technology now allows us to reach any point on the planet, communicate with any individual, and heal the sick. Money did not create these technologies, humans did. Whether money exists or not, we still have the abilities.

Why would the Humans race want to limit our achievements to a price system? Why would the Humans race turn over control to a minority only interested in personal gain? Why would the Humans race allow itself to remain divided and enslaved? How could the Humans race sit by and watch the majority of the Human race suffer daily when the power to change all for the better is possible today?

Our daily actions are contrary to what an advanced civilization should be. Our planet lacks global prosperity and harmony. If the Human race freely shared all the possible resources and talents instead of traded them, cooperated instead of competed, taught prosperity to all instead of survival of the fittest, provided the best education to all, and linked production through education, the planet and the inhabitants would be far better off.

Each and every Human being on the planet is amazing and capable of amazing contributions. We can do and accomplish anything. Each generation has an incredible option. They can decide by themselves at any point to come together and petition to take back control of the planet, unite it and the Human race, to share all resources openly.

Unfortunately Earthlings are stubborn and ignorant, our leaders and the majority of individuals on this planet are self-absorbed with the past. They refuse to accept that the past is past. The Human race has now entered into the 21st century and we no longer have any excuse. It is time for the race of cavemen to grow up into the 21st century Humans that we are. If the race is capable of declaring a World War, then it too is capable of declaring a World Unity and Peace. Humans have the power to change their ancestral design from survival of the fittest to prosperity for all. It merely requires that the Human race recognize our current actions as childish, illogical, and detrimental to our own species.

What is remarkable about the Human race has been our ability to question, to learn and to adapt. Parents and teachers have always and will always bear the responsibility and blame for all circumstance that exists on the planet. It took them a minute to realize and teach that the Sun does not require worship in order to rise, that the world is not flat, that slavery is wrong, that women should have rights, and that all Humans, man and woman, are equal. It is time we woke up and started using and adapting our 50,000 year old brains to the current situation. How long will it take Humans to realize the obvious truths that now exist in the 21st century and stand glaringly before us?

Will the next generation of leaders and inhabitants of the planet Earth finally wake up and realize that we are currently living on a uncivilized slave planet based on the ideals of our cavemen ancestry and that now in the 21st century we have the power to change everything?

Will the next generation of children be taught that every life is valuable, amazing, and has something to contribute no matter how large or small? Will they be taught this world and all its inhabitants have 2 choices, to live as one or die divided? Will they be taught that humanity requires everything be shared, and cooperation is better than competition for the progression of the Human race? Will they be taught that achievements and global prosperity are their own rewards and concepts of currency and trade are antiquated? Will they be taught that it is their responsibility, and the responsibility of every Human being, to ensure that every Human being is well taken care of?

Greed and hording has no home when everything is shared. I petition that the United Nations be disbanded and a 21st Century United World Cooperation be created in its place to address and meet the needs and desires of the entire 21st Century Human Race.

Blame Teachers and Parents

21st Century Human, “Guardian Geo”, Protector of the Planet Earth and of the Human Race, herald of the obvious, blames Teachers and Parents for the state for the world.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, …

I blame Teachers and Parents for the current state of the world. Teachers because they are suppose to be the most educated of us, the professionals of their fields, imparting knowledge, skills, and instructing our children and adults. Parents because they too are teachers and are the ones responsible for raising and nurturing children in the best environment possible. If the world is less than ideal, it is because Teachers and Parents have failed in their responsibilities, failed the world, and have failed all children and all adults.

What exactly are children being taught today?

Profit, greed, competition, war, how to enslave the human race through inequality?
Is this their idea of fostering the best environment possible for children and adults?

The ancient Earth provides life, and it is our home. It is the home to over 6 billion Human beings, all living on it together. Each Human being has unique characteristics and each Human being is capable of amazing abilities and contributions. Humans do not own the Earth. Each Human being came into this world the same exact way. We are all equal and we all belong to the Earth.

As the dominant species, collectively, we are the guardians of the planet and make up the global workforce responsible for ensuring the survival of our race and the health of our planet. No Human being can have any more claim to the Earth or her resources than any other Human being, so how is it that we don’t have the same access to the same resources? If we are all equal, have the same access to the same resources, all have teachers and parents trying to provide the best environment possible, how could we still be born into environments of desperation and struggles for survival?

Are we Human or are we Beast? I think too many of us forget that 50,000 years of development does not necessarily wipe away our most primal instincts, especially the need for survival. The Human being will do the worst acts necessary when it comes to survival. This is clearly demonstrated by the number of individuals incarcerated in our prison systems. If we eliminated that need for survival, we could civilize our race. Our past was all about “survival of the fittest”, but today in the 21st century, our technology can change everything. Today, it could be “survival for all” if we taught and planned for it. But to plan for it, it requires cooperation not competition.

The Human being is an amazing species. After only the first 50,000 years of development we have realized just some of our potential and capabilities. Our cleverly crafted tools have reduced our loads, made our lives easier, enhanced our talents, and is constantly improving. I can’t imagine what the human race will look like and be capable of in another 50,000 years. Right now, each of us can train to do and be almost anything we can imagine. With proper teaching, parenting, and the use of ever improving tools, there is absolutely no limit to what an individual being or our race collectively can achieve. We should be contributing and sharing our talents, tools, and resources to the benefit of all Humans on the planet. What stops us?

Sharing, as Barney likes to say, is caring. And he’s right. We should all be sharing and caring for each other and our planet. Drawing imaginary lines all over the planet and calling them borders is not sharing nor is it caring. People dying daily from lack of food, water, and medication is not sharing nor is it caring. Trading is not sharing nor is it caring. Exchanging services for profit is not sharing nor is it caring. Charging Humans for knowledge is not sharing nor is it caring. Charging Humans for Earth’s resources is not sharing nor is it caring. Currency is proof of not sharing and not caring. Why do Humans not share and not care? Is it because we have been taught not to share, taught not to care, and taught to be to too lazy to change?

If everyone on the planet shared, cared, contributed, and cooperated to eliminate the need for survival and bring equality and technology to every single being on the planet, a better world wide environment would be created. Is this not the environment a teacher and parent wants to provide to their children and adults? Is this not the environment 21st century Human beings want, deserve, and have the natural right to?

For the first time in mankind, technology has given us the ability to communicate easily with the rest of the world. Education is the most important industry on this planet. Why aren’t the teachers communicating and sharing their knowledge to the maximum? The purpose of school is for the acquisition and improvement of knowledge and skill. The greatest possibility and threat for failure in education are not the students, it is unqualified teachers and teachers improperly and inefficiently passing on their knowledge and skill. If there are better methods of teaching, already being demonstrated by leading schools, why aren’t those same techniques globally distributed? Is not the goal of education to acquire and to improve?

Our past and preoccupations pre-loads the mind, creates apathy, and prevents individuals from thinking and acting.
This is a wake up call. We have stopped using our brains and have stopped acting properly on our thoughts. We have become blind to recognizing the obvious, what we are, where we are, why we are here, how we got here, what we should be doing, and how we should be doing it. It is time to start using our brains and begin recognizing the obvious. We do not need to worship for the Sun to rise. The world is not flat. Slavery is wrong. Women are equal to men. Everyone is human. Borders are silly and only serve to divide us and the planet. Currency is the root of all evil. Trade is wrong. Sharing is right. Caring and compassion should be encouraged. Education is primary. Survival, equality, and safety for all should be guaranteed. Teachers are the true and most valuable professionals. Parents are accountable for everything.

Like I said before, what exactly are children being taught today?

I blame Teachers and Parents for the current state of the World. We are now in the 21st century. It is time the 21st century be introduced to 21st century Teachers and Parents. 21st century Humans, wake up!
