"The basic tenents of religion, and therefore religon itself, is true and embedded into the human..."

“The basic tenents of religion, and therefore religon itself, is true and embedded into the human character by it’s nature, just like emotions of love, sadness, and the like which are common to us regardless of our upbringings. One’s own path to understanding our Universe and it’s workings are, on the other hand, up to each person’s discretion on whether or not that path is “true". In any case though, this is not religion, but rather the collection of metaphors, allegories, myths, and other texts gathered throughout the ages in which the individual believes is to be true and best explains the controller of all our existence, of our Ecumene. Therefore, religion is stripped of all it’s arbritary human qualities of having a sense of “good" or “evil". Religion is simply God, and the Universe is God. God, and thus the Universe, has no sense of good or evil, as these descriptions can only be used in the human sense for organic things, for beings which actually display such qualities. God, the Universe, all of reality and of space and time, is not bounded by the limitations of human labeling. It is neither good or evil. It simply is.”

Caravaggista: What if Caravaggio hadn't died today? What if he had reached Rome - or never left?:

caravaggista:

When Caravaggio died 403 years ago today, he had been in a self-imposed exile from Rome for about four years. He fled Rome in 1606 after he killed Ranuccio Tomassoni during a nighttime duel. For this murder, he was sentenced to death.

What did a death sentence entail in 1606 in Rome? Many…

"Through the absence of doubt, skepticism, and intellectual reflection on the dogma fed to us..."

“Through the absence of doubt, skepticism, and intellectual reflection on the dogma fed to us throughout life, as is the norm in modern culture, one can foolishly try to attain a compelling illusion of happiness and lifelong content. In retrospect though, all that is indoctrinated and believed to be a foundation for satisfaction in life through this fashion is the stuff of pure ignorance, a fog of delusion in which the moronic and the naive cling to their absurdities in hope of not losing their sanity. Through logic, reasoning, and critical reflection one learns the truths of society, a mass of chaos and unsustainable, gross excess in which individuals parade as being “virtuous" and of excellent moral character. A collective ensemble of rampant thoughtlessness and moral decay, in which the importance of the mind does not weigh equally with the importance of empty luxuries in the public culture. Though this revelation may seem bleak, it is the acceptance and self-education on the realities of life and the universe that allows one to move forward mentally and emotionally onto the the path of enlightenment, in which a grounded and valid construct of happiness, hope, humanity, and love can be allowed to develop and flourish.”
