SORTING OUT OUR MYTHS ....

Historically , as well as in our present times , societies proved they can live without Godly influenced religions . Confucianism , Taoism , and Buddhism  have been proving this for long centuries , and they all were and continue to be great societies and civilizations , they all follow a mixture of spirituality , ethics and philosophy , rather than our models of Abrahamic  monotheistic accepted religions .

Generally Believers are as liable to be non virtuous and crazy fanatic Zealots as atheists are liable not to be . People's real worth is never measured by faith  or rituals , but by the amount of love , compassion , tolerance and justice of which they are capable .

In a previous blog , sometimes ago , I once quoted Dostoevsky's Ivan Karamazov ; "If God does not exist everything would be allowed " I totally disagree , on the contrary , looking to situations like Syria , Iraq , Israel and Turkey , Afghanistan and Pakistan , Yugoslavia and Ukraine  and many , many other areas of extreme violence and horrific injustice and intolerance , we can safely conclude that all these problematic spots exist because of too much God .

I keep more or less referring to Abrahamic religions as I was born and raised in a monotheistic world , with the same God and his several messengers , prophets , sons et al , recognized and approved by some , disapproved and bitterly resented by others , all in various degrees of hate .

These imbibed and assimilated religions , with their dogmas , temples , and folkloric rituals , their sacred and purportedly supernatural  origins , and forces and promised later lives , over the thousands of years of their existence and manipulations, where all people have done nothing but share and follow blindly their parents religions since early childhood .

Monotheistic religions teach their adherents to throw themselves into the literal study of their books , committing them to memory , reciting and quoting them endlessly . The world , the universe and humanity are far more interesting , mysterious and challenging than all religious books combined , holy books that are untouchable and literally rigid , incomprehensible and full of unexplainable brutality to most modern minds.

Thousands of religiously dominated years , only proved the linkage of the religious system with the horrors  in the world , the suffering , brutality , the injustice , versus too little happiness and tolerance . what a pitiful result for the concept of its creation by an almighty . We have always sacrificed the almighty God for our earthly selfish needs , and more so in our world today , and only managed to cling to the mediocrity and pettiness of it all . What a poor result for omnipotence !!!

Our life , future and destiny cannot and will not be left at the mercy of Mullahs , Rabbis or sheikhs and priests , ignorant preachers or pseudo theologians , nor to any form of fanaticism and blindness , as the separation of church and state proved to be more than precious and successful , we should consider the next steps , separating religion from our daily lives , thoughts and acts .

We have all turned into some sort of blind fidelity, rather than faith . Action and stupid obedience more than contemplation and meditation , fanatically defending ourselves against all others , trying to annihilate all others , mostly believers in the same God , and all in the name of God .
