Cerrone,
It seems to me that people often spout off about how this system or that system is not working and give a nod to the fact that something else needs to happen. This is easy to say but doesn't lead anywhere. For example, you say:
It seems to me that you see no value in the current system at all which is flawed thinking. There is a lot of value in the current system as well as religion. Think about it, religion has ultimately been humans thinking about humans and using God as the ultimate appeal to authority to lend credence to their ideas, either through true belief or for manipulative ends. Why throw all that work away just because we don't believe in God? It is also exceedingly difficult to derail a system completely and start anew. It would be much more productive to look at what is already good about society and build from there.

Quote: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.
