Topic: Religion
Sorry, the beginning sounds so POMPOUS! Actually, that is taken out of context, since when I say superior I merely mean free from the commmon taught thought, I am more intellectually free to explore.

Maybe, just maybe, I can simply solve this problem myself. Pure thought has carried me so far, made me superior to all my "peers" and also helped me free myself from the evils of life and set religion. Know this about religion, maybe the only thing you'll ever need to know... It isn't religion unless you truly believe, not in what you are taught, but by what you feel is the truth. From what I've been taught, God does not punish for what you believe, but merely how much faith you have in what you believe in. Personally, what I believe isn't exactly Christian, it isn't Jewish, it isn't even Buddhist, but the point is,I do have a belief, maybe not necessarily in the existence of God or the absence of Him, but more a kind of scientific twist to religion. Pure Atheism really doesn't suit me; those people are too closed-minded. If you really want to know my belief, it is that there is both an equal possibility that God exists and that he doesn't exist. There is a scientific theory, that there is actually more than one plane of reality... If this is true, then the existence of God is as undeniable as the belief that there are other life forms in the universe (It is ludicrous to believe that we are the only planet that supports life in all space as we know it). There is either one plane of reality, or an infinite amount. What is to say that the abilities of one species or being in one of the infinite reality planes could not be easily confused/accepted as Godly powers? If there is only one plane of reality though, I would only assume that God cannot exist, as the rules set forth in this plane could not support such a thing. There is also a third possibility, that we really do not exist at all, that this world that we know it is only a thought that floats in an endless void of nothingness. This really is a very depressing thought though, but I suppose that it needs its due attention. If this is true, then three things are possible: either there is a single God or not, or I (or the reader) am really the center of the universe because all you've known and all I know is that the world that exists around us. Can I really see through your eyes and see that this thought is wrong, can you disprove me by looking at the world's prospective from someone else's eye? It is kind of hard to explain this... From my perspective, I'm writing this because I feel like it, to you, it could seem as though I'm trying to give you, the center of the universe, answers to questions long desired by even the likes of you. To me, you are a pawn in my existence, and to you, vice-versa. But I cannot say you see me as a pawn because you are just a pawn who cannot see anything anyway...and well...vice-versa. This possibility just gets so crazy and impossible to determine. I cannot possibly solve this, not because I lack the intelligence, but because the answer I'm looking for was randomly predetermined. I need some Aspirin, but does it really work? Or am I only meant to think it works? I never really ever noticed any change when I ever took medicine, I only do it because I was taught that it does good... More questions…not enough mental stamina to think anymore. Whatever the answer, I suppose I'll just assume that there is no afterlife, that way I'll only be surprised if there is one (think about it).

Okay, that is what my first note of religion stated, word for word... Not much has changed in the ways of the theories itself, but I have realized two other possibilities since then. The fourth of my possibilities is that there is a set number of planes, since the amount of planes may not have to follow the mathmatical rules we would expect it to, i.e. 1 or infinity. The fifth is that we are on a plane of planes, kind of like a galaxy of planes, where there are areas of concentrated connections, kind of like what one could consider a true gateway. I really don't want to get into much other detail, but I can recapitulate how important taught religion is, despite how wrong it is morally... Taught religion keeps society working...can you imagine the crime rate and how much more of a shit hole this world would be if no one had anything to believe in? There would be no remorse, suicide would never decrease, homosexuality will increase, and the population will decrease severly... No, I think we need religion very much, well, the common man at least. There is a problem with having too much knowledge, the problem is that one doesn't really like the truth, and when he sees it he can't forget it and go back to bliss. So, if I could prove that a God does not exist, I would not tell anyone. Does he exist, maybe I say, but I am not purely agnostic as I have just stated in my lecture above.
Well, that was fun, I hope it gets some people thinking... Well, there is a sixth theory in developement, but I can't really get into complex details.
Okay...all that above was my online journal...don't be confused into thinking the above I just wrote. As for Theory number six, well basically it states how planes of realities could be constantly moving, thus the areas in which they intersect are not fixed, and in that chaos rules, thus when we are parallel to a plane with a God like abilities, he does not exist here for the brief time. But what is time? Is time really here, or just in the mind? What if time for us is slowed to such a crawl to everything else in the universes everywhere? What if everything else moved so much slower...what if the planes didn't move continually, but stopped here and there? That would mean that God does and doesn't exist por periods of time that we can measure, or at least think we can measure. People take time in too linear of a fashion, time just doesn't continue like most believe it does...it twists and contorts like a labyrinth. Not like how einstien said that time is curved, but more of something that loops and repeats it self and causes disaster when it collides with itself. Time is more like an object than we give it credit for, it can do amazing things, create universes and end them, whenever it wishes...
