A-Thee-ism

I earnestly don’t know why i wandered to this topic all of a sudden. Firstly I’m not the right guy to talk about these things because I have no prejudice ,  I’m equally bemused. The fight between Religion and Science is my Half hour of Sit Com.  Secondly , I took this because I had a logic-less yet Crystal clear theory from a staunch theist acquaintance of mine on how all things in this universe are bound by rules (Dharma) to ensure life is experienced (rather than gone thru)  in a methodical path with a promise of salvation and as always how bad things happen when rules are broken. We will get to that later .. So here we are .

Person A: I’m Jehovah’s Witness

Atheist: Nope

 “Atheism : The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs. “

Atheists are a type of Call out specialists. A set of people who are willing to bring out the uncomfortable truth...They let it be known of the dimensions and coordinates of that large zit on your nose. They inform about the ration card credentials of the one who unleashed that rampage fart in that small room .The Call-Out Specialist can be annoying, crude and awkward. But they're also an integral part of any social group, working to keep everyone accountable. The only difference between Atheists and Pessimists is they don’t have an agenda, they are rational and won’t mind taking the cold truth rather than a half garbled Garbage.  

  

In the golden words of the great George Carlin,

“In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I got to tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time...But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!”

You are a shadow of an Atheist if you think Americans are Arrogant and Ignorant if they deem it necessary that all Chinese and Japanese been known as Asians or the fact that Americans had and have no culture on their own neither do they had the land they have an empire out of being exceedingly good at bullshitting.  You disagree with them, Disagreeing and agreeing to an issue is as similar as being an Atheist and Theist. Its just that the issue here is a Comedy of a Tragedy... U can’t appreciate Theism unless u have an atheist pointing your gaping holes.  I think Theists secretly question themselves and one of their fundamentalists stands up and proclaims to not waver from their faith as it would make them eligible for the direct finals of Fear Factor in Hell.

I hear out the Theist point of view man  , I really do ... because let’s face it’s a damn good story line. Fantasy, Heroes (so many of them to look up to) , their flashbacks , villains , magic , weapons , incantations , wars  and even the freaking holy books that are based on. Come on, we have to respect them, they stand for they believe. But their bubble is too thick that they might never realize. Theists are like the frequent victims of Trolling; they just sing and dance right into the pothole. Atheists are just screwing with theists with logic, Atheists actually don’t care if there is a god… they are just hell bent at breaking the bubble for the fun of it.  Sometimes I admire Theists for the fact they have had focus on their story since mankind’s knowledge of time, leave out the questionable logic and unnecessary package deals .They just keep going on man. Undisputed.

This amusing duality is my occasional entertainment… But I have been known to Troll some believers and have some unconfirmed sightings of some religious chores….. However fact remains that, nobody brings the truth, they just keeping going on and on just like a corporate media news channel debate.

I can’t type about my set of people because we were the set of pupils who were busy throwing chalk pieces at each other rather than hearing out our lecture and decide what is up with that. We simply don’t care. When bored or poked , we just confuse both the sides .   

Logic Filters

“I should have told you this a long long time ago. But this was the first time we are speaking to each other , Dear Customer care. People know not to wake me. If its early morning (Out of question) , mid afternoons , early evenings. No let me rephrase... NEVER wake me up... but you called for a credit card which is the last thing i can legally have... Your boss must have given my number to call and it would be your job to pitch me a possible stumble in to buying one from you. But my brain is in this temporary state where logic is also sleeping. Only one emotion is woken up for the initial seconds.... RAGE... but i woke up as i asked “come again”, if you are in my close circle of friends and family , i wud have asked "Why me? ". my frnds are known to wake me as early as 5am , but they wud be shouting from the middle of the street , calling my name 5 times... i won’t mind as the whole street is woken up and mostly it used to be for math classes or cricket... if it’s from work , i won’t mind much even tho i wud getting up cursin my life. I should say that I wud hav politely refused to your call if i was awake... but no ... my primal brain had to decimate you for waking us up. Especially after yu made the stupidest reason for waking me up in your Hinglish “Your salaree coming to bank , so yu get credit card from me “... I thought “Screw you , hinglish speaking expatriate who had nothing better to do than waking me with the reason not worth giving ” AND  with that , you were served .. this above paragraph is my sober sorry for the time of pain and rage i gave u , even tho yu wer askin for it. "

After tendering the apology, let’s stick to what I came here for. LOGIC

One thing I learnt from that ordeal is ,In temporary moments of potential rage situations ,  my brain in the initial seconds gets warmed up for war, then logic takes over and has the courtesy to ask "Who is your daddy?" .. I usually don’t get verbal that much... But the time was perfect to unleash on that soul... Waking up can be one of the worst part of my day. i hate it as much as i hate the next seconds after waking up. So my day had started and i had to move on to the next social realm...

 

Being an early 20's guy working in Middle East is probably not that fun. But my job is interesting so im sticking on. So i have not much time to play cricket, hangout with friends or serving defeats to FIFA gamers. All i have is my work, thoughts of Chennai and some 1.7tb of movies and tv series. Major part of the free time goes pointlessly in theories

One of the theories i stumbled upon aimlessly was Life after death.

Logic and guess work from various religions, thinkers, historians, Theists and Atheist, have put so forth some versions. My version just popped when i was eating masala dosa and milkshake from baskin robbins. So i figured what we do when we die. Everyone must have thot that.. Sure... but what do we really do.. Firstly Let’s take the usual and easy , god approach. So many religions in the world...  do we reach our corresponding realms...What if i want to see how the other religion's realms are? ... Is there an orientation program with god? We get to know about him , what was and is his plan for the rest of the world..Then we get forms like the ones of immigration.... what path to choose ... reincarnation? (Sure) , administration (Y not) and more.. And so life after death might be interesting with God.

Then i got all serious and realistically imaginative... to be totally real ...i took the approach where god is not a possibility... jus for the sake of covering all possibilities.... I'm always cautious of aapu as in being pwned. .So my version will be sans of bulbs only my idea of gethu ness...

 So I die ... I reach the next place... welcomed by some ppl and they tell me, “so yu have died, we are sorry for the state of your family.. dont worry they will join when the time is right for them... now to the best part... they let me know  “this is a massive resort for the mankind... yu can make best use of all it has to offer... and you can choose two things... one stay here for a while and see what we have to offer which is in your best interest OR go back to earth , be born in any country/ religion yu want..”  So being me , i will say , “what yu have to offer?” they take me to this private home theatre... they tell me , here all your life's memories are stored. its chronologically categorized in addition to memorable events (The whole lot)... They also tell me time is not an issue... dont kno if food wud be an issue. if so give access to all cuisines , y not , its my version... they play a small teaser version of my life.. Memories, recorded incidents and stuff ... so i get to replay my whole life... i get to revisit the times... Not a bad option... They also tell me , in the mean time , at any point yu can step out and either help us here assist incoming dead people or reincarnate back to world.. i say i will think about it... and i see if any known family , friends are also in the same area... to invite them later on...and with that  I sit ,keep my legs on the table,  get the remote and Hit play...

Esoteric Questions

I had a few mins to spare while waiting for my train to Essen .I could have plugged in the music that will hold the Tonotopic parts of my body and ensure this constant elevated emotion from my awesome playlist . Leaving me the minimal effort to just have focus on the surrounding which by itself will seem quite different with music in my ears. Sadly my iPod ran out of charge, with that my freedom to violate unsecured public Wi-Fi. So i was being cornered by this situation. However it’s not unusual for me to space out for a while and focus or ponder on topics that might for some reason can be deemed Gratuitous. Evidently, i attempted to push time as i had nothing to do. Sans of Inhibitions, I zoned out of Antwerp central station, So to speak

Frankly speaking, my real concern on humanity and my relation with earth is what the point of all this evolution is? . A Futile growth which gives no real answers to the reason behind the universal development. Right from algae to Homo sapiens we are evolving nonstop. Are we going to give way to new mode of species as Apes did to us? Perhaps evolution into a better race who can handle the truth and reason behind the God Theory/ Big Bang logic.

Globally speaking we are advancing, better networked, socio metrically fused with a psychological wellbeing. So it’s fair to say that we as a human entity are at our peak at this very second. Would you say that this thought would not have come across a person in different timelines? Say the guy who invented a wheel, with his improved mobility would he not marvel at his growth and be superior to the ones without? OR an Aryan man in early 18th century with advent of indo European cultures and thought process? OR A renaissance man at his time would have felt this is how far humans could stretch intellectually? Yet time has proved us all wrong. They all improved meteorically in all realms of Science, Religion or Intellect as whole. We are in early mid of 2011 and we are still growing, at a level so fast that our ancestors or humans from earlier centuries would see us as Gods. Well we are Flying in space, Inventing new stuff, building sky scrapers, communicating far better, Intensified cultures and our human intellect is tuned for even more development. So where is this all going to take us to? We are growing but to were? To what extent? What’s the point of growing? So let’s say we die in our 60’s or 70’s just like everyone before us died , they dint see what’s happening now , we might not see what’s going to happen after our time. If so then what’s this baseless pursuit of money, struggle, survival about? Conveniently a Theist will argue that you reach moksha or eternity, a way to reach God.  As much as I respect every religion, this borders on belief and hope which I won’t prefer for solid answers.

Mankind has dealt with what the earth and moon are about (to some extent). No real answer over there ... Get born , study , earn , Survive , grow family , develop them , enjoy earth and die. Bored of this ritual. High time we seek the answers out there, in cosmic space. Where there are no cranes or hangers for planets and stars. Real “SPACE”. That is where the real answer lies to the Esoteric question that man has been asking for centuries. What is out there? Who put them there? . Why are they rotating? Astronomy, Astro-physics , solar study , celestial exploration are roaring in with huge impacts. Every branch of science is at its peak at this very second. Are we going to see the point of all this?  Might as well know the reason why mankind is growing with belief and hope that everything happens for a reason and we have a god above us.

 Imagine there is a man or woman or a being sitting outside this cosmic space , with this huge crystal ball and that ball being the entire cosmic space. Does he/she/that zoom in and see what are we doing in earth? How we are making contact with other planets and letting out satellites all-round the area? Is he/she/that the judge to all this? or Do we have alternate dimensions? perhaps all the material (Movies , TV series , Stories , books , facts and theory) which suggest alternate realities or dimension are possible? Everyone in this earth has this cosmic right to know why are we in earth? Why not in Jupiter or Saturn ? You and I , can argue the conditions were right and we came into being .If so different conditions were right enough for different set of species in any other planet? By logic, a proper rational question always has an answer.  There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows.

And universe responded by giving me my train back to Essen. : P

The Choice

The Universe with or without a God has been built because of choices known or unknown. At least that’s how i like to explain things to my sub-conscious that all the chaos happening are Ordered. Revolutions, war, peace treaties, cultural development is a sequence where we can associate "Choices" as a positive explanation. Subsequently Universe is built with the by product of choice - Duality. Subject-Object, Yin-Yang, Heroes - Anti Heroes,, Protons - Electrons , Logic-Religion , Man-Women (23rd Chromosome pair that made a choice on its own) ... Duality fills your life stream

Some choices have logic behind it. Some don't or yet to be explained. For Instance, the XX-XY chromosome pair that defines the start of your life. Male or Female. Your Life is an eventuality of a Chromosome making or made to make a choice.  By Science and logic, the fundamental core of your existence is swapping of X and Y chromosome. On Broader sense, zooming out 1600 times... Human Genome's activity is seemingly, Chaotic… Imagine diversity of Human Gene pool is a result of small activity that has just two outcomes. X or Y. All we got to know that It swaps and hence proved "You are blessed with a Son" or "You are blessed with a Daughter"… That is how humans have been multiplying , yet we fully don’t understand or think we understood on WHY we are evolving and WHAT are we evolving towards…. 

Moving on from a zygote to a human being, life presents us an array of choices in daily life. Some are trivial… some tend to blow up to have a major impact on life which are people call as "Life Changing decisions”. Another sub-illusion to make us stay cautious for that moment… Coming to think of that every decision is life changing...  At that very instant some make Good choices, some make beautiful blunders, and some make both. Life is just like a graph line… Sinusoidal or Straight. Bad decisions become decent stories. In semi-conscious delirium we tend to do stupid shit that is sour only in the initial instances, turn out to be a source of a good memory if you’re casual enough about life.

Finally as a guy who has been voluntarily and involuntarily choosing his life, finds it ridiculous yet rightful that life is nothing without choices... Some are made by you and other surrounding people make it for you... In a way pulled into the global quick sand…But then again why this game… Why give us Choices… What are we doing here making choices... What is the purpose of choosing… Who gave us options..

 Options which are sometimes illusions.. Money for instance…98 % of human activity is governed by affinity and involvement towards MONEY …Numismatics is study of this great illusion… Life was just Great when Humans had the famed yet forgotten Barter System… Skill for Skill…A medium of  exchange for your skill to others… Early Babylonian nutwits started the system of economics … Man had gotten his famed development into what he is today ,a superpower because of money… An universal illusion second only to God theory…Quoting cinematic instances.. As the MAN Rajnikanth said “Rich get richer, poor get poorer”.. The Joker in Dark Knight just burnt that huge stack of money for his notion was to give gotham city a better class of criminal…Tyler durden just incinerated a downtown financial district to balance the economy… Ground Zero… Though we don’t share their criminal agenda, our current human population is unlucky to not have experienced ground zero... However momentarily I think otherwise, I as being one among the human pool , have been pulled into the universal illusion of earning and saving money… So have you and everyone else… I will continue doing so and so will you and so will the civilized, giving-a- crap human population which we belong to…We , Unfortunately and ideally can’t survive without currency. Do you see why I relate this to Ordered Chaos…

We all enjoy the Fruits of civilization, but how to best understand what is happened so far… Questions and Answers are something we humans have fed and that’s how we grow…

Just a set of lines fueled by imagination…Just a frank approach towards understanding Humanity
