Angst

Is what I do really important in the grand scheme of things? 13 billion years, we get 80, what a sweet little fling... knowledge is relative, let me put it into perspective, geocentrism used to be accepted fact, man has to tell himself he understands, reality is simply a pact christians, jews, and muslims, divided over variations of the same "god" read about pantheism, monotheism just seems a little odd I mean, to me, religion just seems backwards, you accept what you're raised on and then learn the factors, now, I could be wrong, but would you buy a house or car and learn about it as you go along? dont get me wrong, the scriptures have some good advice and genuine homilies, but when you teach people what to think, not how to think, there's no autonomy, some people think without religion there's no standard for morality, do you really need a 3,000 year old book to know geniality? man created religion to instill order, mitigate death, and give us "meaning", so what if life is meaningless, it's liberating, quit your weaning, we're all in search of structure and substance, self educate and be your own compass, look, i just think this generation could change the world like never before, they say you'll fall for anything if you don't know what you stand for, so, throw out what you know, i've got a new petition, it's not going to be easy, it 'll take some cognition, but really, are you not tired of submission? forget right and wrong, this is a remission, let's have some ambition and create new traditions
