The Truth

I don't know why, but for some reason I got home today, and I had the uncontrollable urge to blog. I think it's because I'm a twitter addict, and sometimes 140 characters just doesn't give justice to the word vomit that is ready to come out of my mouth. First off, I want to say that there are certain truths out there, and 99.9% of people are completely missing most of it, and the people who understand it have no forum to discuss it or tell others about it because the way that people become famous or popular goes against most of these truths.

I'm not saying "truths" in a closed-minded, "there is only one truth, and it is [insert religion]" kind of way. I'm saying there are certain provable laws of the universe or common sense, and no one seems to have these truths or understand them except very few people. Like people are completely missing the point, and we are just a bunch of animals unsupervised on this planet, running amuck and making our own rules and no one is here to watch us and tell us, "hey, you silly people. You are doing it all wrong."

Where to start? It's everywhere, it's hard for me to make sense of any of it or even begin to a point that makes sense. Ok. Most recently, religion. I heard this horrific series on NPR called "losing our religion" and it goes on to interview people who were once a certain religion and now just can't make sense of it in the modern age or who want to be spiritual or religious but can't find proof of it in science or just don't believe in traditional religion. Sounds like a nice piece, right? Wrong. The story just kind of interviews people and doesn't leave any closure. It seemed to point to the fact that religion was bullshit or at least Christianity, which drove me nuts. Did not explore ANY eastern religions or new age religions and the examples sucked.

I'm not a religious fanatic nor super religious, but if you are going to try to show religion through science, DO IT. Don't just sit there and say that they can't co-exist and therefore you are Atheist. That is basic kindergarten thinking. Delve deeper into the actual scientific evidence that exists on the matter. If you are already shaking your head right now and thinking, "Rosie, there IS no scientific evidence on religion," then you've proven my point that information has been so suppressed in our society that people tend to believe one thing or another with no further probing. To make matters worse, when you google "proof that God exists" online, you get a series of fanatical psychopaths on youtube, preaching the power of Jesus Christ or Allah and not actually listing proof. Scientific proof. And yes, it does exist.

Anyone who knows anything about one of the great scientific geniuses of our time, Albert Einstein  knows he was quite a spiritual man and many of his findings and famous quotes are of a religious nature. Nikola Tesla did many experiments on the soul and even found that there is an electro-magnetic field around each human being that disappears when we die. This all sounds like pretty good proof to me??? In addition to that, some of the most spiritual people I know are scientists! Yes, you heard me. I was baffled, too. Back when I was agnostic, I met many physicists who told me after watching thousands of cells and atoms split in perfect harmony time after time, they believed that there was something out there greater than science controlling things. Then, most people go, "Well, I don't believe in Christ, therefore, I don't believe it." ::sigh:: There are more belief systems than Christianity!!!!! Stop making Christ or Allah or the main religions your default not to look deeper!!!! It might be mother nature, whatever. There is something and just because it doesn't fit into your tiny idea of what religion is, doesn't mean it's not out there.

This is just one example of pure ignorance. Don't you think if you wanted to use science to prove religion, you should actually use...science???? People on either side of the argument for/against religion never seem to have very good arguments that encompass all of the facts. In fact, some of the arguments for evolution and against religion are some of the worst I've heard so far. (FYI, calling religious fanatics "idiots" is not considered a sound argument.)

Also, people that usually bash religion go for traditional religions (an easy target). Yes, it sounds very improbable there is an angry man in the sky or you'll get 72 virgins when you die. I know. I know. But very few target new age religions, many of which use - SHOCKER- common sense and science. Or Eastern religions or philosophies which deal more with energy (ya know the stuff Tesla was talking about??) instead of storytelling nonsense about demons and judgement. The Catholic Church is losing members daily, as well as other traditional sects. We get to understand that there are belief systems out there that make LOGICAL sense and match well with modern society. If you are so closed minded, that you hear the word "religion" and "spiritual" and immediately think nonsense, you need to do more research and stop being an opinionated asshole.

Another thing that irritates the living crap out of me, if you're not something, you're not that. Stop doing it. What do I mean? I mean people saying stuff like, "I 'm Catholic/Jewish/Muslim/etc etc etc but I don't believe in it. I just go to church/temple/mosque for my mom/grandma/dad/etc." Um....we''ll than you're not [insert religion]. Have some balls and stop being a follower!!! Go out there and learn FOR YOURSELF what you believe. If you do this, you have NO RIGHT TO AN OPINION on religion because you have not done any independent research except being a complete follower/sheep.

Guess what? You can be super religious and be a complete idiot AND you can be an Atheist and be a complete idiot, too. What a concept!! Next blog, I will explain my belief system and how I got to that....or I might talk about how our healthcare system is total BS. Not sure yet...
