The atheist proposition is the following:  Most of the time, it may not be said that there is no God. It may be said that there is no reason to think there is one. That was the situation after Lucretius and Democritus and the original anti-theistic thinkers began their critique of religion and I would just ask you all ladies and gentlemen to bear in mind that the mild distinction of why we go on: You might wish to be a deist. My heroes Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Payne were. And you may not wish to abandon the idea that there must be some sort of first or proximate cause or a prime mover of the known and observable universe, but even if you can get yourself to that position, which we unbelievers maintain is always subject to better and more eloquent explanations, all your work is still ahead of you. To go from being a Deist to a Theist, which in other words is saying that there is someone out there who cares about you, knows who you are, minds what you do, answers your prayers, cares which bits of your penis or clitoris you saw away or have had sawn away for you, minds who you go to bed with and what way, minds what holy days you observe, minds what you eat,  minds what positions you use for pleasure, then all your work is still ahead of you, and lots of luck, because there’s nobody willing to give it up and there’s no one willing to move from the first position to the second. Thus I could, and I’m strongly tempted to leave it right there, but it is not in my nature to let off a captive audience so easily so I’ll add a couple of things.

The reasons why I am glad this is not true, which makes me the gravamen of my case: Some people I know who are atheists tell me they wish they could believe it. Some people I know who are former believers say they wish they can have their old faith back and I don’t understand this at all. It is an excellent thing that there is no reason to believe in the absurd propositions I just mentioned to you, and rather briefly rehearsed to you. The main reason for this is because I think it is a totalitarian belief. It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who must subject you to constant surveillance around the clock, every waking minute of your life, before you’re born, and even worse, where the real fun begins: after you’re dead. A celestial North Korea! Who wants this to be true? Who but a slave desires such a ghastly fate? I’ve been to North Korea. It has a dead man as its President. “Kim Jong Il”  is only head of the party and the army, he is not the head of the government or the state, that office belongs to his deceased father, Kim Il Sun… It’s a Necrocracy… It is one short of a Trinity I might add, the son is the reincarnation of the father. It is the most revolting and utter and absolute and heartless tyranny the human species has ever evolved, but at least you can fucking die and leave North Korea. Does the Quran or the Bible offer you that liberty? No! The tyranny, the misery, the utter ownership of your entire personality, the smashing of your individuality, only begins at the point of death. This is evil, this is a wicked preachment. So, that’s the first thing. The second: It attacks us in our deepest, most essential integrity, it’s an insult to us in other ways. It says that we, you and I, could not individually or collectively, decide upon a right action, or a right thing, without celestial, divine permission. We would not know right from wrong if we did not have heaven’s permission to do so. Where else, how else could we know? Our human solidarity, out innate knowledge of right and wrong, our acute awareness of what is fair and not fair and what is just and unjust, all worthless to us. These come as gifts also from the great unattainable dictator. What could abolish out integrity, honesty and decency more than that? The third is a little more pragmatic: Religion is our first attempt at the truth, it is our first attempt at it. It is what we tried when we didn’t know anything. We didn’t know we lived on a spherical planet. We don’t know that our planet revolved around the sun. We didn’t know that there were microorganisms that explain disease. We thought diseases came from curses or witches or ill-wishing or devils. We didn’t know anything about our childish terrified ignorant origins of out animal primate species from which comes our origin. It is also our first attempt at philosophy, our first attempt at morality, our first attempt at health care actually, but because it is our first it is our worst. We now have better explanations for all these dreads, and we have cleared up all of these mysteries and yet we still dwell. And in some countries, in some societies don’t just dwell but also live under a totalitarian regime that forbids us to think about the progress that has been made or denies us the knowledge that these advances have in fact occurred so it has become; where once it was an aid to our survival; a really great peril to our continued ability to live as a civilized species. Thus, it seems to me that in point of its proposing of a totalitarian solution; to what is after all a real problem; to its ghastly reliance upon the supernatural rather than the much more miraculous, much more, beautiful, much more elegant, much more numinous, much more harmonious natural explanations. Think how much lovelier Einstein and Darwin are. Think how much more elegant and persuasive they are rather than the idea of the burning Bush or the demand that without circumcision there can be no redemption. Let’s just picture it and then I’ll give you one final thought experiment. This is what you have to believe now, if you’re a monotheist, because we now know things that we didn’t use to know. We know now that the human species could be as much as 200,000 years ago, since it could have been separate from the Cro-Magnons, and it could be as little as a 100,000. Richard Dawkins thinks 200,000. Francis Collins who did the genome project who is by the way a C.S. Louis kind of Christian thinks it’s a 100,000. Alright, I’ll take a 100,000, here’s what you have to believe. For 100,000 years, humans are born as a primate species. Expectation of life for the first few decades was what? Around 25 years? Infant mortality, rife. Microorganism disease, terrifying. Earthquakes, volcanoes, extraordinary! And fights over lands and territory, over food, over women, over tribalism, frightening too. For 95-96 thousand years heaven watches this, with full denouncement, with coldness, with indifference. And then around 3-4 thousand years ago, but only in really barbaric, illiterate parts of the middle east; not in China where people can read and do science; but in barbaric illiterate parts of the middle east it’s decided “We can’t let this go on, we’d better intervene” (by heaven of course). And what better way than by human sacrifices and plagues and mass murder? And if that doesn’t make them behave morally, we just don’t know what does…  if there is a single person in this room who can bring themselves to believe anything remotely like that, they can thinks themselves to be 2 things: First being very stupid and second being very immoral. Thus it seems to me that the case for divine intervention and the supernatural falls, and that we should be glad that is has fallen, and thank you.

Ever since man has come onto earth, he has been trying to explain his existence as a means to a higher purpose because of the fear of being insignificant and the weakness of the mind. Man either needs a motive to live or a reason. Man has never been able to count on himself to do anything. When the Pharaohs had the pyramids of Egypt, they did it for the Gods and had depended on them for help along the road of holiness, devotion and transition from men into Gods themselves. Every single stone that was moved by the workers in order to build these humongous structures was done with the belief that it was the will of the Gods and that the Gods were watching over the mortals and looking out for them because of their devotion and spiritual entity.

Man can never be a superior reliable being until he relies on no one but himself. When man is contempt and believes that he can do whatever he wishes without the need of anybody’s help that is the only time man can ever be reliable. Yet, how many men daresay that they are in no need of a God to watch over them like sheep? How many men do not feel miserable when they run into hardships and come to the conclusion that their God is not helping them because they have come up short on their road to “salvation” when sometimes it is the road to demise.  

The idea of the existence of a “higher power” is to a certain extent undeniable. Yet the way human beings explain this existence of a God or a higher power in almost all religions is an insult to all intelligence and it shamefully works. Let me shed some light on to this dilemma. Children ask where the world comes from. Easiest answer given by scientists is what we refer to as the “Big Bang Theory”. Well according to scientific evidence and research, matter is something that cannot be created out of vacuum. Therefore something must have caused the creation of the star that caused the Big Bang. Assuming this is true, then this “higher power” that created this universe, how was that higher power also spawned? When one keeps pondering with these relentless questions, one shall find himself in a very vicious long circle, never achieving a final answer. Therefore the belief in the existence of some form of high power is understandable, even logical, but that doesn’t mean that one must bow to it, nor does it mean that this higher power cares about it. And the mere fact that the human mind portrays God as something that has unleashed upon him a certain set of rules to live and abide by is asinine. The human mind is not creative enough, nor can it hold enough knowledge or ability to come up with the pure essence of the idea of a higher power, let alone give it a name, a physical appearance or an idea of what this higher power might possibly want of mankind, if anything. Thus as Nietzsche said: “If God was able to do anything, then could he create a stone so heavy that even he couldn't lift?” Thus proving that it is futile for a human to even consider thinking of the idea of God, and the mere fact that Christianity and Islam and all other religions have specified a set of rules to live by that have been handed down by God himself is an insult to my intelligence, your intelligence, and anyone with enough intelligence to analyze and think about these issues unlike this pathetic excuse of a generation.         

             Furthermore, people speak of “religious experience”. Then again tricks of the mind are very powerful. Unfortunately they are powerful enough to trick the people into believing that they have had and extraordinary experience. It is exactly the same way the mind tricks people into salivating when they think of food.

Imagine sitting with someone that you love, and who loves you. In other words, imagine lieing down and hugging your soul mate. Imagine the feeling of security, happiness and fulfillment that runs within your veins. It is the same for people who talk of religious experience. They love an imaginary figure named “God” in which they so strongly believe loves them back and they have the exact same feeling as someone in-love. You need not even sit down with your soul mate to have that marvelous feeling. Imagining it is sufficient enough to fill the void that you feel is missing within you.

Yet this is a disease that is cause by the weakness of the mind amongst the majority of people. When one lacks knowledge in different fields in science, art, life, psychology, philosophy, one will always be affected with tricks and shall always fall asunder to mind games. The “herd-mentality” and insecurity of mankind is what will keep leading it to its ignorance. Peace of mind must be settled, logic must become necessary and knowledge must become virtue if every individual of mankind ever wishes to prosper properly. Otherwise the majority of mankind that are sheep shall always remain sheep.

I'm sorry for not updating my blogs as often but I have yet to have the time to sit down peacefully and write properly. If I feel like  I "have" to write then things won't come out the same and my point will not be as clear. However I would reccomend that people take a look at this :
http://www.thepaganfront.com/oriana/article_100facts.htm

            How is one to judge whether something or some one is part of an Aryan race? Hitler’s approach to the definition of Aryanism was one of utter foolishness. Aryan by definition means pure. I however will take the word “Aryan” as a definition of supreme and powerful. One particular Aryan race for example is the alligator race. This race has survived for hundreds of millions of years and has faced the hardest of conditions and is yet to be extinct. Yet not all alligators are equal because some are stronger than others which make them more “Aryan” than the weak ones.

            The same applies to human beings. However, when we talk about human beings we do not merely talk of physical strength. Aryanism exists in different categories in human beings such as intellectuality, physical strength, strong immune system, harder bones, healthier hair, a longer lifespan and so on. This is all the work of genes. Our genes determine who we are along with the upbringing of our parents. Those of Aryan generics must be proud of these qualities and must only procreate with others of same or other Aryan characteristics.

It is a pity how far and how degenerated the human race has become in our time. Some people have gone so far down this road to apathy that we are ending up with human beings who do not have any form of Aryan genetics whatsoever. Take most of the people in Saudi Arabia for example. There is no physical superiority, no form of high intellectuality and no form of human care or human life for that matter. You will always have your exceptions of course but when it comes to one man having fifty children and end up not knowing any of their names and having them grow up without any form of proper guidance or education is a waste of human kind at its best.

Now take the Russians. They have proven over and over again to be some of the most intellectual and influential of societies among our world in almost every era. They consist of physical strength, intellectuality, good physical appearance and are just full of Aryan foundations. This also applies to most European and the Far East Asian cultures.

In the end it all comes down to superior genetics. Yet, the easier things become for people, the lazier they become at it. If we take the Asians again, we see that they are the masters of martial arts. They created this style of fighting because they weren’t superior in physical size compared to other species of the same race but their intellectuality led to their creation of this art which could make them bring down someone of superior strength. Therefore there is also a form of Aryan mentality of trying to achieve further and further. This is why when this form of Aryan mentality is mixed with Aryan genetics (and let’s not forget that Aryan mentality is influenced through the upbringing of the parents), the human race could reach further than his eyes could reach and faster than ever before.

The ultimate Aryan however is one of genetic Aryanism, Aryan mentality and an Aryan character. An Aryan character is someone who can be an intellectual but can at the same time be able to form social relations easily; these two are usually very hard to be seen together. We will elaborate further on this point another time after you have read this again so you would be able to absorb the complexity and seriousness of this topic because it is one of the most essential human issues that should be taken into consideration in the generations to come.

I have read over and over about spirituality and people meditating and finding the “truth” or the meaning of life or possibly what is after death. Let me just start off by saying that this is one hell of an asinine concept. You see… to be able to understand a person you must first put yourself in their state of mind. You must study their patter of thoughts, their character and their problems and implement them in your head. After you do this you have your brain function with only these thoughts and channel their lives through your own to see on what grounds they have faith in their almost always foolish ideas. Also once you become more and more experienced in this practice you will be able to predict their actions and the words that come out of their mouths and sometimes even know what their problems are without them telling you by analyzing their actions.

            Getting back to the point, these “spiritual” people who have found the meaning to life are merely experiencing a form of extreme calamity because of dissociation from society and spending all their time in the meditation to be able to conjure up and speak to their “creator”. These spiritual people say that they have found the answers. I have met hundreds, even thousands and asked a few of them what the meaning of life is merely because maybe they knew better than me so I wanted to learn but their answers made me laugh almost about every time. Some of the answers were “the meaning of life is to devote your life to God and you will live in a tranquil state of mind and will be happier than ever”. What was most amusing was that his answer consisted of what I should devote my life to and not the explanation of life itself. Another person said “the meaning of life is to die”. That was funny because I never knew life was a verb, did you? I asked him “if the purpose of life is to die, then why haven’t you killed yourself yet?”. These are merely a few examples among hundreds of others.

            Once I put my state of mind in theirs by learning every single kind of their hundreds of different examples I learned something very interesting. These people are merely trying to give people an explanation for the amount of time they have wasted just sitting their and relaxing. How many of them is actually a contributing member in society? One out of every thousand? They lack the strength (if they had ever even had it) to go on with life as a contributing member of society and become weak feeble human beings trying to conjure up the few precious moments of their “lives”. This usually happens to people that grew up during their teenage life not caring about questions of life or the afterlife or love and never cared much about things they are interested in and didn’t have the courage to discover new realms so they are always afraid of the unknown. They try to explain the time they have wasted by spreading lies about seeing the light and feeling inner strength through their faith in God and so on.

            These derogatory ides spread by the weak and the ignorant should be shunned by people who have inner strength and do not submit merely like sheep which is what society tends to do nowadays. Society gets weaker and weaker generation by generation but we will talk about this some other time. For now I merely warn you of the ideas of the ignorant, of the weak. Do not fall for them because if you do you will fall face first into a world of ignorance and it’s very hard to get up afterwards.

Finally I have started to record some decent improvisations. Things were rough at first but as soon as I got in the mood I was able to hit things off so my music career seems to be evolving and progressing further and further. Hopefully if I'm able to I'll upload my songs on a webpage so people will be able to listen to them but I can't make any promises soon because I'm in way over my head with things including the Philosophy Blogs which are actually part of a book that I'm working on, a philosophy book to be specific. Anyways any kind of support will be appreciated and thanks for all the comments.

Death is a privilege and is feared by many people because of the mere fact that they are afraid to cross into a realm they know nothing about. For everything that is unknown is feared by mankind. A lot of people are afraid of death just because other people are and that is the epitome of stupidity. I wonder why Christians never actually celebrate when someone dies. Don’t their souls enter heaven after they die and they supposedly live happily ever after? So why be sad for their death? Unless it’s not actually sadness but selfishness. Yes, selfishness.

            People mourn and cry because they will never see him again, although they supposedly would after they die but they wouldn’t take it into consideration at the time because that is when they most doubt their religion, no matter how much they try to stick to it. They lose all sense of reality and think of all the good times they had with him and all the days that they will never see him again. Do they think of him and the fact that he’s happy now in heaven? Do they even take into consideration that he is better off in heaven than he is on earth? They never will because they fail to see the true meaning of death, even when it comes to their own religion, but enough about Christians.

            Every single question we have ever had, every single doubt we have ever had, every single theory we have ever had all come down to the moment of death. When someone dies they either find the answers to every question we have not been able to answer or they cease to exist. No one really knows if there really is an afterlife or not. If there is then one’s questions would be answered, and if there wasn’t then one must have already lived his life to the fullest without any regrets because if one has regrets then he won’t be able to die peacefully.

            However, one must differentiate between death and suicide. Suicide only the answer for those of a weak mind, a weak personality, people who have mental problems. Any philosopher that is a true philosopher in his heart welcomes death with a smile but stays away from suicide. Not only does it apply for philosophers but it also applies for people with deep understanding and people with a strong character and a strong sense of direction.

            Strong are those who welcome death and stare it in the face, weak are those who hide from it. Would you rather die from doing something you love or would you rather stay at home everyday and die of an unexpected heart attack?  The ultimate satisfaction is when one faces a life threatening experience and lives to tell about it. The satisfaction of being in control for this short period of time in order to finish one’s unsettles business on earth is more than satisfactory. Many people just realize after they go through a life threatening experience that they haven’t achieved any of their goals in life and the most painful thing is when they realize this after they become old and it becomes very hard for them to accomplish what they had always dreamed of. This is why people muse realize that every second they spend is a second they won’t get back which is why they should make the best of it.

            Make every second of your life count because if you do until the last day of your life, you will welcome death in open arms for you have achieved everything you wanted to achieve during your life on earth and you wouldn’t care whether there is an afterlife or not but you would definitely want to know, merely for the fact that ever human being is curious by nature and wants every unanswered question to be answered no matter how when or why.

            A grave misunderstanding is one made by human being that men and women are equal. Men and woman can never be equal because of the differences in physical attributes that they inherit which makes their thought patterns different and create different kinds of ideas. Similarities will exist in ideal patterns, ones which are most common but those exist as the rarest of cases.

            However, men and women can be put into a form of an equation. Men can only function among certain specific thought patterns that women cannot reflect on and vice versa. So if we denote man with A and we denote women with B, we add them together and we find that A+B=1. Yet if we also divide them A/B=1. But how can we get 1 if we divide them and get an answer of 1 if they are not equal? Women and men aren’t equal but the thought patterns that exist in each one complete each other and thus create a balance which implies that they are therefore of an equal importance. A is just as important as B which is why we get the answer 1 when we divide them. A and B also complete each other by combining their thought patterns and different abilities whether mental or physical and exist in harmony if they choose to use those abilities to help each other to the fullest.

This is why when two people are joined by a strong relationship filled with love and proper treatment of one another – of course the treatment has to be decided by the couple and not be the stereotypical relationship where one of the couple can’t even look or fantasize or even have sex with another member of the opposite sex, which is why the rules should be set by the couple so they know how each one considers the other’s treatment as “proper” – they tend to equalize together as one. Their differences are what unites them and gives them a whole new outlook and meaning to life in itself.

Now this is where things become even more complex. We have already established that the differences of the patterns of thought are what make the union of men and women another step towards enlightenment. However why can’t any man and women succeed in a relationship. This is where the common thought pattern between men and women comes into play. I will demonstrate what I mean through an example. A similar thought pattern between men and women could be the method of raising children. The pattern is similar between both for the mere fact that it exists but what it consists of is what decides whether this specific couple is compatible or not. The man for example might want his children to be breast-fed while his companion refuses because she doesn’t want her physical appearance to be altered. This creates havoc and a problem that makes relations unstable. Of course this little problem alone doesn’t affect the whole compatibility theory to a major scale but imagine every single similar thought pattern is not agreed upon, then these two people have no chance at having a future together.

The more the “similar though patters” tend to be equal in the opposite sexes, the higher the chance of a good, healthy, strong, deep and profound relationship. It is this that determines the compatibility of two people with each other and the more compatible they are, the deeper the meaning of their relationship and the higher it’s purpose. For when a very compatible couple share their “individual thought pattern” they become 1 supreme “bi-human” and not merely two separate humans. They join intellect and enlightenment and become together as one.

Tonight I shall embark on a philosophical journey of self-enlightenment. Anything that comes to mind I will speak of and analyze here according to my train of thought and to the thought of the great philosophers that have past through in our times such as Socrates and many others like him.

As I thought about writing this I was wondering how to start it off. I though I should say that I am more mature than others, but what really is mature, gentlemen? I look at myself and what do I see. I see a musician. I see a philosopher. I see a man with enough passion that he should have lived in ancient times rather than in this present age. People nowadays don’t do something because they love it. They calculate the risks over and over again and think so much of the thing they love and how people would portray it that they end up not doing anything about it. People in the present age are spineless, passionless. I myself am not better than any other man, yet I seek to become better.

But dare I say; what is better or worse? The only way we perceive better or worse, good or bad, is by “The Relative”. Yes. The relative. I shall make this my first philosophical issue and explain to all you gentlemen and gentle ladies what I mean by “The Relative”.

Imagine trying to get into a serial killer’s mind, one of the most courageous men of all. But how can I say courageous? Isn’t he a murderer? Isn’t that a bad thing? Is killing not a sin? Well I daresay upon to all you religious followers and men of God, what is one man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. Killing is just as bad or as good as giving life. What do any of you know about death? Why is it that we weep at a funeral and not rejoice? If any of you were truly religious you should be happy and un-selfish for the souls of the dead have been sent to heaven. At least if that is truly what you believe.

Let’s stress on killing and it’s relativity to good and bad. If you were not a believer of religion, killing should not be of a problem to you unless you were a poser. The way I look at it killing can be good because without killing and war and destruction our world would be overpopulated. If someone were to be religious then it is automatically wrong because it is a sin. What I mean by religious is a believer of Christianity or Islam, two of the most contradictory religions ever. Yet, we will get to those issues on another night, or morning if you please, after all it is 3 A.M.

Let’s take a look at another example, war. Is it good; is it bad; does it serve a higher purpose? Again you get the same answers. The true religious and non-religious look at things.

We get to the conclusion that religion is the essence of the relative in which we judge on whether something is right or wrong. Yet is religion true? I can’t prove it to be true, and I can’t prove it to be false either, but I can prove that it is filled with sexism and contradictions. We will get to these in other nights gentlemen for they are different issues to be discussed and I would not like to get issues confused with others.

I apologize that I didn’t explain to you how I consider myself a philosopher or a musician. I shall explain what the true meaning of the two is briefly. A philosopher is any man who admits that he knows nothing and seeks wisdom although secretly he knows he will never find it. Yet every philosopher reaches satisfaction sooner or later and I have reached my satisfaction but my philosophical journey will never stop because I learn something new everyday. I am also a musician because I have dived into exploring music and its true meanings and how the harmony of instruments comes together to form this beautiful thing we call music.

Anyways gentlemen I shall leave you for the night and will discuss all what is needed to be discussed through the nights to help me, and hopefully you, to reach enlightenment through the words that I write. These words are not words of wisdom, but words of reaching a higher purpose or meaning in life. I have found mine and I’m exploring it. Have you found yours?

Virtues And Burdens

Of Christian virtues we have for example Prudentia (wisdom). I thought in wonder about the considered burning of the library in Alexandria in Egypt as a typical wise act, and act that made mankind wiser? They also have Fortitudo (courage and spirit) as a virtue. Why do they then need to ask "god" when they need these? It's impossible that they have these qualities in themselves if they need to ask a "god" to get them. If you have courage and have spirit then you ARE courageous and spirited, but if you have to ask "god" to become this then you of course cannot have courage and spirit, because if you had it you wouldn't need to pray to "god" for it in the beginning! Justitial (justice) is another virtue, how much justice was there when we were burnt on the stake? Or for those who choose to not betray their father gods under the christianization of Norway? They fight against another virtue they also have, namely Misericordia (mercy). The Jewish-Christians are those who hold their laws and follow their morals last and least, with the exception of simple sick denominations that commit mass suicides, like those in Switzerland recently (there were pictures of Madonna on the walls and a big star of David on the floor in their temple, and the media didn't say a word about it, but only said that they were a fanatic denomination. That 99.9% of these insane sects are 100% Jewish-Christian is what some of these Jew reporters don't want you to know about. They prefer that the people believe that it's "satanic" sects they are talking about). I am more Christian than the "Christians" are, ironic enough, and it's because I am heathen! A heathen is honorable, courageous, and has spirit, justice, knowledge, loyalty, hope and love. All these are also Jewish-Christian values, but are found in very little, little degrees among the "Christians", in much less degrees than they are found in us heathens.
