Atheism; the next step

[Cerrone]

Atheism is not a club, there is no, "If atheism, then..." it leads nowhere and holds no answers. I see what you are talking about, and it is a monumental undertaking to figure out how to handle the whole of humanity in such a way as to provide the greatest benefit for the greatest number of planet users while still maintaining the planet that we are using. I have plenty of ideas but it is hard to see how any of them could actually play out in reality without massive opposition.

It's a complicated way i'm looking at religion- specifically christianity- but yet its so simple at the same time, if you examine the course of history under primarily monotheistic (christian, islamic) rules you can clearly see the actions of people following these rules and the nations, empires and organisations being founded with their principles as a given. And the huge thing that seems to fucking obvious me is that by following these rules, conciously or unconciously, you become part of the "system" in that you fall into the same traps, the same destruction and you're still the humble slave to your owner in one way or another.. and no matter what you do or say to reject this system -as many people do- if you obey these christian laws you are doomed to fail, and the cycle repeats; you live and you die and the same people are still in charge and so on and so on. It's almost like these religious laws hardwire us to be slaves and we don't know any different.

Christianity is without a doubt the earliest form of enforced and harmful propaganda. So as I said, and for the reasons given at the start, once you understand the concept that "man is not above nature" then logically you've begun the process of seperating yourself not just from the docile congregation, but from the entire system.. right?

I'm right on this without a doubt, but my "discontentment" is that more people havent come to the same conclusion; whether they're atheist or just regard theological labels as divisive and refuse a category- as I tend to do.

Is it the case where people just don't care and do nothing deliberately.. or is it the case that they're unsure of what to do? Both options of course have the same result, which is "doing nothing".


But i'm genuinely curious.
