Headfirst into a wall

Over the ages we have become nothing but empty shells og moving parts, which are driven
by the insane speed of our society. And its only getting worse.
The act of consumption is so stuck in our heads that we have hard time of actually thinking
about it, and im not so sure it can be solved easily.
How can we stop this evolution, even though we could be going into the wrong direction.
It's like a freight train going 200km per hour and doesn't have any brakes.
so at any given moment we could actually go off track at tremendous speed that would have
catastrophic consequenses. not a pretty thought at all.
But the question remains...can we watch this spectacle from the sidewalk?

The Great Deciever

One of our esteemed Bishops said in a newspaper interview recently the following things...
"Faith is not to know, faith is to trust. "
Need i say more?

What is it about people and computers anyway?
Computers in their essence are extremely complicated machinery, so im not really surprised anymore about the general lack of computer skills in people. It used to bother me immensely, but over the years i have come to realise the futility of trying to explain to people how to work a computer. in my opinion people should get a license to be able to use a computer.
Experience has shown me that 95% of all problems related to computer failures are related to the users and their lack of understanding.
Software manufactures are not making things any easier though, by making their software more bloated at each version upgrade. And also its funny to see how much effect a antivirus program has on a clean system. we are taking about around 60 to 100mb of memory used for the antivirus program and their related services. that can be enough to reduce the performance on any PC for about 15% and even more in some cases.
Also annoying is the habit of many programs to load up a task at startup that they say is to make the program faster to load....well duh. when you got over 10 programs that have this annoying habit its no surprise that the programs are slow to load anyway.
I always delete those task and that has never caused me any problems.
stupid!

Let the blind man see....

Few great quotes..

Benjamin Franklin - Inventor, Foundating Father
“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca “the Younger,” - Roman stoic philosopher, writer, and politician
“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”

H. P. Lovecraft - American author
“We all know that any emotional bias — irrespective of truth or falsity — can be implanted by suggestion in the emotions of the young, hence the inherited traditions of an orthodox community are absolutely without evidential value…. If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.”

The Invention of religion

At what point in the evolution did we find the bloody need to invent gods?
The basic idea behind most religions is to believe without any second thought,
but due to our curious nature, that basic idea goes totally against all rational thought we are supposed to have. And in these gods hands we are supposed to put our fate, our intelligence, our drive and individuality and trust that everything will go well because we believe in something that is supposed to watch over us.
Come on! That just doesnt make any sense.
and to add to that insult, all these religions we have on earth are supposed to be the "right one".
"Believe and be saved, death to unbelievers!"
over the millenia countless wars and atrocities have been brought upon humanity in the name of some religion or another. Holy wars are a fact to this very day.
What would happen to this world if every person upon it would suddenly realise that, there is no god/gods..there is no heaven...there is no hell? to be honest i have no idea how that would effect humanity.
Religion is a curse upon humanity and I will talk alot more about that later.
until next time....

Consuming Impulse

its the season to be festive and jolly...so they say....
At least the shop managers will be tired but happy after this.
we the consumers will be left with empty pockets, more weight and shitload of wrapping paper.

Why waste yer time on material concerns when there are bigger issues at stake?
Let the elder gods show ye the world as it is......
