RELIGION 3
___________

A religion is a way of life. Therefore, a religion has nothing to do with a creator or anything else. Anything can be a religion. This must be made clear from the start. The very fact that people use the word in contexts other than that of an amorphous omniscience that pervades (supposedly) the universe must attest to this fact.

A religion is a form of 'belief' system. Believe it, live by it and that is what religion is.

The reason that a religion is so perversive is because it is encouraged (through manipulation, coercsion, torture and death).

An all-knowing god cannot exist. An all-knowing god must know both 'good' and 'evil'. Such a god would have to make up its mind to be more or less than 'good' or 'evil'. It their is a dichotomy, then there can be no god. Either, as they say, one thing or the other. In electrical terms, an equal positive and negative make a neutral. A neutral substance make just that, a neutral sunstance that does nothing.

So either a god is a neutral substance or there are two gods, vying for each other's control. Control is not a neutral substance. Control is a reasoned (or unreasoned) attempt to manipulate.

Only the human animal (as far as we can ever hope to discover) is the only animal that is aware of being aware. Man has 'reason' only in so far as it serves his purpose to control the planet (a pathetic view in my opinion but there...).

So we are either left with an all-knowing god, who can do nothing because he knows everything, or we are left with two gods at constant conflict. Nothing is in between these gods.

Man does not 'evolve'. Man adapts (or doesn't and goes back to the earth from whence he came); therein lies any survival mechanism.
