@jeffowski I don't get why we still belive in religions. I did study them a lot and it is always the same pattern. Wise words are perverted by the reigning cast to maintain power. In the 21st century we should be ready for something new. Btw, I think a lot of people could miss, that Jews, Christs and Moslems pray to the same god and Jesus was a reincarnation of Vishnu (as some believe) and all are stories born in our minds.

@demiurg -- And you've just stated the truth I discovered at age ten. They are so much alike that they fail in all the same ways.

@jeffowski Yes, my teachers didn't like my questions as well :) Like, isn't the Jesus on the wall an image of God and why is there nothing about Dinosaurs in the Bible and why are fish special, since they clearly were not the target for flodding the planet....

@jeffowski But later I went a bit deeper and studied Philosophy (among others). With Derrida's Deconsteuction, I slowly understood why we might never be able to understand our past and interreligious semiotics may be based on the structure of our brain :)

@jeffowski @demiurg Even Buddhism, which is mostly just "self help for bronze age people" got badly twisted. Clergy is always going to attract parasites because it's power to influence people without doing any real work or critical thinking.

Also, what kind of God would give everyone different playbooks and punish those who are born to a family with the wrong one. Sounds like a petty ahole. Any decent God would respect people who tried to be decent, believer or no.
