Previous Con't

30. As the Human population rises past 6 billion I sit in awe of how we manage to be so ignorant as to how much of our planet resources we tie up, and also how much we refuse to give back to the planet. We are supposed to return to the earth so that the minerals and such that are contained in our body can be recycled into new life, but now we have created these 100 year (or was it 1000 can't remember i'll look it up later) coffins. These things are supposed to protect our precious corpses for some absurd amount of time, and in the process forgo the natural process of returning the nutrients we contain back to the planet. How much of the planets resources do you think are trapped in the ground right now? How long until we've buried so much that the earth can't recover?

31. The communication of meaning; To me that is the very definition of language. Why is it that all we seem to be accomplishing with our language is to destroy all meaning? Why are the people who truly have something to say always the quietest? Why does the rest of the world feel compelled to assault us daily with their vernacular abortions? I can't count the times I have listened to people speak, at length, about nothing. I can't count how many times I've realized that I have just let a person talk at me for an extended period of time, and had absolutely nothing at all to say. I think we all could do better as a species if we would just shut the fuck up and listen to somebody else who has something meaningful to say?

32. So let us just imagine that the bible is true, every single word of it dictated directly from the mouth of God. The world was created in seven days, and was created to be a paradise for man. There was no sin, or death, and Adam..Eve lived in perfect bliss, harmony, and ignorance with their creator. Now in this perfect garden there was only on law, that they could not eat the fruit off of the tree of knowledge. That was Gods "test" for us. But at the same time God was (still is?) an omnipotent being, the master of the heavens and the earth and all that rot. He is supposedly an all-seeing, all-knowing creature who actually took the time to create a divine plan. Now what is the Divine plan you may ask? It is Gods plan for the earth and its people, and while I'm sure it doesn't list out every petty, little thing that we are bound to do, I'm pretty sure something as serious as eating from the tree of knowledge and completely changing the function of Humanity would be something that He'd touch upon. So what does this mean? Well we can either assume that our all-seeing, all-knowing father didn't forsee what we were about to do, or that he had planned it all along. Now after this little incident everything changes. The instincts and urges that we had posessed before our offense suddenly become "sins", and we are thrown into a violent world where we need all of those instincts to survive. Now it never states in the bible that these "sins" did not exist before we ate from the tree, only that we had gained the ability to know what our actions meant. Now that we were aware, we had the capacity to evolve to the same state as God. So now he throws us a curve-ball. Now we are placed in a world where we can die, a world of nature. A world where we need every tool at our disposal to survive. At the same time we have our spiritual warden telling us that these tools, these instincts, are sins. God had effectively made us feel guilty for living. Now why would God do this? Because the confusion that this caused has left us spiritually crippled. If we spend all of our time feeling ashamed for being alive we never have the time to focus inward and develop our most powerful tool: our soul. Our Soul has potential to develop to what God is, we can evolve past our flesh, and God does not want that. Our souls are under-evolved, and we are nothing more than sheep waiting to be devoured in the next life...or maybe God is the worlds only self-sustaining creature, and nature does indeed end with us. ;)
