The Sky Is The Limit

We often get bombarded by marketing gimmick in today's world. Be it electronic appliances, books, cosmetics, clothes, there's quite literally a mountain of marketing crap in the media stream. However, there is one thing that trump all of them to oblivion. If you were to use simple mathematical reasoning, or in layman's term, common sense, marketing will unveil itself to be a load of bullshit and crap. Yes, there's something out there that triumph even the most pestering telemarketer or salesman. Hide your kids, lock your doors, because religion is in town.

Now, I am not by any means hating on religion here, quite the contrary, I am laughing my ass off as I am writing this. The idea of an invisible super daddy that sent his only son [in the context of Christians] to write a book to spread to billions of people, the thought of being able to relive past lives [Buddhism], or the thought of a messenger locking himself in a cave to relay God's transmission [You know..] is a very questionable 'claim'. Okay, so you say I have no right to say that, you are probably right, I don't. But that doesn't stop people from coming and pestering me about religion. I am being very patient about the matter, mostly because I am a late blooming atheist, ergo, I don't know a whole lot. But what I do know is that religion is a matter of blind faith.

You devote your entire life to a invisible being that you claim to be omnipotent, fulfilling his so called wishes and will, just to see the world around you suffer from poverty, war, rape, looting, riot and a whole lot more. Doesn't that just blow your mind? If it is God's will, why bother buying insurance? If it is his will, why bother going to school? Why bother doing anything really? By now you are probably pissed at this blog and judging me for who I am, but I am just asking questions really. Just ask yourself this question, if it is stated in the Ten Commandments that 'Thou shall not kill', what about the Crusade? God just decided to pardon that? Then what about his Divine Plan? Was the Crusade part of the Divine Plan? If it was, what's with the Thou shall not kill? It's all very confusing.

Now, I am not some faker trying to lie to himself that he knows everything, nor am I going to pretend to know everything. I know little, little in comparison to what greater minds know. This is all just a piece of my mind that I really need to let loose, or else I might go crazy with laughter. To end this blog, here's a little quote I found on the net ;

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?

Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?

Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?

Then why call him God?”

-Epicurus(Greek philosopher, BC 341-270)

I find it very true. Religion is just afraid to grow up and see the world for what it really is, they want you to believe that life is all about God, that progress is a sin and ignorance a virtue. You know better, logic and reasoning will always triumph against bedtime stories.

P/S: Stop preaching to me about religion damn it! I am sick to hear that crap day after day!!
