Intermission, to get things straight

Okay, I need to reset my mind. The past week has been rough, so now I need to just do a simple post.

I think, no matter how you go about it, God should not resemble anything human at all. Why? Because humans are animals (like it or not, we ARE). I want to make it very clear. We eat, we sleep, we poop. The main difference is that we THINK. Sometimes very hard. That should not be enough to make us be THAT different from animals. Just because a bird can fly well, a fish can swim well, and a bear can smell well, doesn't make them not animal. Just as they all have their special niche, we have ours.

The general idea that everyone is equal is quite flawed, the idea that every human deserves equal RIGHTS is more acceptable(but still only just an idea). No one chooses their traits.

Culture is also not always a choice. Other than the occasional heretic(me!) or convert, no one actually chooses what they want to believe in. It's very hard to let go of something if it's been shoved into your mind ever since you were born. You cannot rightly say you have chosen to believe in (insert religion here) even after you've given it some thought. However, I don't want to mingle in this topic for too long. It get's people upset, and if I present my points badly, religious people get a little more faithful, simply because I gave atheism a bad name.


Could it be, that the only person who deserves an ego is God himself, the creator?
Then again, he's not a person.

The thing is, we can't tell who or what created the universe (but let's all agree that everything after the creation of the universe is quite explainable without the presents of a God, more on random chance some other time), but we can tell, or accurately guess when and where it began, and sometimes poke fun at how it was created.

Nietzsche once wrote about common sense. It's not the normal common sense that I'm talking about. I'm actually talking about the way nearly all humans put two and two together using our 5 senses, our brains and (allow me, just this once) the soul. What Nietzsche said is that common sense is, basically, what keeps us from going insane.

He also mentioned, that perhaps someone,(or some primitive being, earth bound, no less) HAS actually seen beyond common sense, and thus seen(more accurately, experienced) the universe in 4D, or even 11D(according to the string theory). But this ability to see beyond 3D most likely complicated early evolution of brain, and so was discarded, in favor of a much easier to use just sound, sight, touch, smell and taste(and all those other sub-sensations).

I find that because we cannot 'feel' or 'experience' the true universe, then surely we can imagine it. Here, mathematics comes into play. But because I do math like a 5 year old, all I can say is that maybe the only way is to calculate and imagine(using calculations) how the universe really is, in all its dimensional splendor.

Some say that THIS universe is just a fraction of another much more complex one. If that were true, I myself can safely chuck God out of the window. Why? Simple.

Right now, I cannot safely say the universe has no age, because, quite frankly it does. God however(or most ideas of the creator) is ageless, therefore, making sure no one can ask who created God.

If this universe is part of a much much much more complicated, and ageless multiverse, then I can put my mind to rest, because my questions will most likely find their answers in random chance. If we can find out how the universe fits into a much bigger picture, an ageless picture, then perhaps we can rule out God as the creator.

The thing is, most of us cannot escape the idea of us being animals. How social interactions have been so mixed up with all other complications of having a brain to eventually make us feel like we have a soul. Truth be told, the soul is VERY explainable. It is what happens when animals get complex. Watch Richard Dawkin's The Genius of Darwin. It's all on youtube.

After this post, I will no longer try to find truth, instead, I will find use. As in, not if reliogious beliefs are true, but if they are beneficial.
