Beliefs are probably the most fragile, yet most powerful invention of a conscious being. Beliefs can either liberate or imprison. Beliefs can either open the door to knowledge or slam it shut, enlighten or blind. Beliefs can either advance civilization or disintegrate it into the dark ages.

I say fragile yet powerful because wars are fought over belief systems, and that's powerful and weak at the same time. Powerful because people die in the name of their beliefs, and fragile because they feel they need to fight to assert and project their beliefs onto other people. That position comes from a point of insecurity where they are not even sure their beliefs are real and that is why they are fighting to prove their real. By conquering other belief systems it will make their beliefs real.

How many times have you got into a religious or political debate and the person whose reality is being shaken becomes frustrated and violent, and will often start talking louder, as if his temper tantrum will suddenly convince all he is right. This is cave man rebutting at its best. If you don't believe what I believe I will beat you over the head with a club, take your property, and force you to believe what I believe.

If something is real or right, does it need to be convinced to anyone that it is, or is it just what it is? Just because someone doesn't believe it doesn't make it not real? A person can not believe in gravity but it's not going to change existence, that same person isn't going to be able to walk off a 10 story building without a hard face plant to reality. So whether a person chooses to believe in certain obvious things we can measure with our sense's as real or not, doesn't change the the existence of its existence. It's not going to automatically Poof! out of existence.

Yet religion is a system that thrives on coercing others through guilt to believe what they believe. And they can not accept that a person doesn't believe what they believe, they become violent and sometimes kill in the name of God, believing that just because the person doesn't believe what they believe they are evil. So Catholics are evil to Mormons, Mormons to Muslims, Muslims to Christians, and on and on.....

If what they were trying to convince people of believing was real, existed as concrete as an identifiable as gravity, would they need to force people to believe, or would a person be able to look up and see the sun, and say "oh yeah, there's the sun, whether I believe in the sun or not its there."

However because we can't measure spiritual world with our 5 senses, it makes it such an easy area of thought to manipulate. Like when children were young and would pretend, adults now pretend through religion and imagine what is undetectable to the 5 senses and rationalize one has to be gifted, have the holy spirit, or be chosen to understand. Which I think we are all capable of reaching the "theta" brain wave state that taps into the universal computer to understand this other dimension. One doesn't have to have all these rationalized qualifications of religion.

This invisible quantum field of energy it's easy to misinterpret or like some mold it up like clay to look how they want it to. A person stumbles across a $20 dollar bill and it's God blessing them, if they fall on the ice it's God punishing them, or what modern Christians believe it's the Devil.

In their closed in system of thought, if it's something that supports their cause its from God, and if it doesn't it's from the Devil. Yet how easy is it to manipulate meanings coming from this premise. Because there is no sold tangible thing to point the finger at so it can be anything and everything, but its not, its what supports that religions agenda.

There are things people can agree on the sky is blue, we need oxygen to live, and taxes are bullshit, which are what can be considered objective, existing independent of any one's acknowledgement's or beliefs. Then on the other hand you have subjective beliefs which are personal interpretations of experience's, stimuli, situations, and events. A lot of what religion is one's subjective experience which has been rationalized as a message from God, and since it can't be measured by the 5 sense's, people are taught to just have faith, to blindly believe what this holy man is saying. The subjective beliefs of the masses are enforced and conditioned through numbers instead of choosen consciously. The belief the world was flat, was a widely accepted just because everyone else believed it, yet it was wrong, way wrong. Today there are many beliefs that are wrong yet accepted just because of the number of people that believe it.

We live in such a backwards civilization, where the one's who claim to do God's work are really the evil one's and maybe the one's society has labeled as crazy for going against the grain and independently thinking for themselves by integrating existence are really the sane one's. The real crazy people are the one's thinking they are doing God's work by blowing themselves up and their enemies which is anyone who isn't like them. Backwards in the sense where irrationality is put before rationality, and man looks to guidance from fictional spiritual literature that were dealing with the issues of their times, yet religious leaders coerce us to commit mental suicide and abadon our intellects to fallow teachings that are not integrated with our times, have not evovled, and may have been written by schizophrenics.

Why don't we go to the state hospital and ask the craziest person we can find what he want's us to do with our life? Because that's what it is like fallowing a document that was written in a time where consciousness still believed gods controlled the weather, the sun and the moon, language wasn't as organized, and this spiritual text has been translated more than any other book, mostly by politicians.

Anyone that is able to objectively see this, step back and look at it for the big picture See's how "cave man" type thinking it is. To die for peace in an act of war? To kill another man who isn't like you because it's God's will, when God is supposed to be all loving, all forgiving.

I believe our civilization through catching onto the magicians tricks, from religious leaders, are beginning to see religion how a modern day conscious man would look at a man in a tribe worshipping a cow. That man will see religion as Bill Maher calls religulous. Silly, just so hard to wrap the mind around it's non-sense. I see people waking up, and becoming enlightened. Truly enlightened, not the mystically distorted view of enlightenment as one giving up all his earthly desires and belongings to altruistically devote himself to a parasitical elite religious system, but as having their mind free able to see reality clearly.

Belief is a tricky concept, it can easily be manipulated. Just because someone does believe in something doesn't make it real, and just because a person doesn't believe in something doesn't make it not real. I think what is more morale and righteous of man is not to be believe mindlessly, but to be honest. That how can anyone believe anything without honesty first?
