rod,

i too agree that it is presumptious to assume that we, as humans, are the smartest and most evolved of all species currently, in the past, and in the future. . why then do we need dentures, pace makers, hearing aids, and eye glasses. why are most of so so fat from over consumption, over indulgence, and inactivity that we resemble your analogy to the hogs?

why are we so weak that we need, HAVE to believe that there is a being or force more powerful than ourselves that if worshipped, then and only then can we live for all of eternity. why are we damed if we don't "believe". what proof is there? if i am a "bad person" for saying this, then why did god make me and allow me the intelligence to question it? assuming their is a god in the same context as we have been taught?

if our pious views of the peoples of the past are correct, ie: they were less intelligent, less capable, and weaker, then HOW were the great pyramids built? OUR cities wash away at the first inkling of a hurricane. i hardly think that our "modern" architecture will be still standing and visited by the masses in 2000 + years??

we modern humans are lazy, weak, and gluttonous, yet we sit back and critisize other peoples and creatures from other times. the ARROGANCE OF IT ALL IS STAGGERING!!!

KIM

Thank you Kim, that was well said and I agree.

If there is something in the universe that wants me to worship it, what a big dork it must be, hard up for sure. What type of mentality would want or need worship and at the threat of you'd better or you will be sorry? A very sick and demented being would want it. Actually early man, those who were corrupted came up with the idea of worship and the rest of the malarkey, it wasn't anyone who had a good brain that's for sure.

Thank you for your post, I have felt this way for several decades and have thought about it much. I am sorry for the people who are caught up in it, when a child is taught something when their mind is being formatted, it can be difficult to change an idea. Oh well, 85 percent of the people feel differently than I, I got to live with it. This world is about 85 percent corrupt and insane, that I live with also. Thank you for responding, I reckon that you are in the minority too. : + )

Take care,

Rod

This blog is dedicated to kbrasher for the post of today, it is good to imagine another who understands, that's a rare happenstance in this world.

Here's the blog:

Well, I haven't landed on CHAT but once and it was like everything was happening way fast. Normally I take a evening nap and although I vary the schedule for the seasons, east coast chat time 8 to 9 p.m. would be much later for me or at least when I wake up and go to chat, I go into the bathroom and talk to myself for awhile.

What I am doing still in this dimension is a very curious thing, by rights I should have been gone, head filling with blood, taken to hospital in emergency vehicle with sirens and lights, at least that is what I have been told, I remember none of it, I was asleep, at least my mind was on some sort of vacation.

From July 10, 04 to September 1, I was in another dimension according to my family whom I did not recognize. Strange, I haven't mated since early July, it does not really bother me that much, it's fine as it is, much more simple, we have 9 children, 6 girls and 3 boys, do we need more? Not at this stage of the event.

No thank yee please, it only makes me sneeze and I'm tired of waking up on de floor.

Actually I've wanted to go back to when I was 15 and do everything according to my current understanding of the ways and the wiles of the universe. Today I would be better off.

One of my problems that I see while fantasizing about this is the issue of sex. If I could go back now with my current mindset, I would not start sex and I would have spent my efforts helping my fellow humans to keep upgrading the current operating system. Humans seem to be afraid or in denial of change, they find a way to do something, not always the best way but it get by, then entrenches it into their operating system, traditions are like glue, some it would take a lot to change even though many traditions hold us back to a more free and a better species.

I believe that the world would be a better place today if I wasn't really dumb as a juvenile. Yeah, I was being formatted just like the lot of us, my programs, those that I was given, most suck and are dangerous. Where is the joy?, where is the brotherly and sisterly love that we all crave, it's now a sin and we could rot in hades for all of eternity just for thinking about it, oh my. I'm not even thinking of physical sex and I'm not thinking of only one gender.

There is love without going after intercourse, real love too, screw sex, err, yeah.

P.S. I don't feel like editing right now but I feel like publishing it so in those cases, I sometimes say something that I would had changed if I edited it but that's life.

rod,

thankyou for your dedication.

other than laughing about you talking to yourself in the bathroom, you have opened my mind up to another subject with your astute comments. that is predestination and fate. you speak of going back to the age of 15 and making changes, or the issue of changing the fact that you had sex. that's what made me think of this issue. also about "to edit or not to edit, that is the question".

my mind CONSTANTLY says to me" if i make a right turn instead of a left turn will i avoid a wreck with a school bus only to have a wreck with an 18 wheeler? is the wreck inevitable? could it be that the wreck ITSELF is inevitable. but the extent of injury of death debatable? " i gave it quotation marks because i talk to myself verbally as well, so my second person also has an identity and a voice. much like your bath chats with yourself.

these thoughts are maddening. another illustration. if i had chosen to accept a different job than the one where i met my husband would i have inevitably met my husband anyway? if i never had, would i be happier, more sad, dead, richer, poorer, a better or worse person?

these types of thoughts have plagued me my entire life for as long as i can remember. i can't even take a shower without wondering if there will be a freak storm that will cause lightening to come down through the shower head and kill me. then i think, if i DON'T take one right now, then i had better not answer the phone!!!!!

so, is our fate already determined? would everything have a way of ending up the same regardless of our choices? if we change those choices at the last minute before the "fate god" can know about it, would the "fate god" have known in advance that we were going to do that and the end results the same?

do we REALLY have choices? or, does our conscious have a way of making them for us before our intelligence can play a role. if so, from WHERE did that conscious come? what about people who HAVE no conscious, like serial killers. what about people so mentally handicapped that are unable to attempt to MAKE choices. what is their fate?

anyway, i'd enjoy hearing your views on this subject.

Wow Kim, the questions you ask, very deep.

We reside in what we named a universe, it is never ending, it cannot have an end. There is such a thing as eternity, that means forever and ever, never ending.

Life writes its own rules, it can do absolutely anything that it can imagine, as for predestination, how could something, everything be already planned that would take place in an endless setup? That would be impossible as far as I know.

I do believe that each life form in the universe is related to each other and is also equal to each other. Being a species of animal is interesting as hell but then again, a friend speculated to me that perhaps earth was a giant character generator, that without the crap that we have to put up with just to be human we be empty shells.

We are our experiences, think positive,

Rod
