“If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people.”
I know, I know, it’s a sensitive subject.
Probably THE most sensitive of subjects to discuss. I’m sure that gave many of you a proper knee jerk, punch in the gut, or at the very least a menacing wince of repulsion. Please place your norepinephrine and adrenaline molecules back in their respective canons for when they will actually be needed. For others, maybe you concurred with a grin or blushed with a mutual appreciation. Either way, it’s challenging territory.
Let’s first look at the definition of the word RELIGION:
Origin: 1150-1200; Latinreligi – (stem of religi) conscientiousness, piety, equivalent to relig (re) to tie, fasten (re- re- + lig / re to bind, tie; cf. ligament ) + -i?n- -ion; cf.
Did you catch that? (to BIND) to join, hold together, to fuse. The question is, “What are we binding?” The answer is, “Neurons.”
(RE) To do something repeatedly. (LIG) The joining of something, such as a ligament joining two bones together. The joining of neurons creating a neuro net of a belief structure with repeated study and affirmation. It only takes one little agreement and you’re hooked. (ION) the motion or action of doing something. Such as agreeing, affirming, and binding neurons in the adoption
of a thought, concept, theology, or philosophy.
RE = to repeatedly / LIG = bind / ION = the action of doing so (and the neuronet it born)
What you focus on the longest becomes the strongest
We do not see god as an anthropomorphized male entity in the heavens,
judging, condemning, blessing, bestowing, and listening to prayers. We find that to be a very misleading and misunderstood attachment. If god were to have a sexual gender, undisputedly, it would be feminine in nature. But we don’t believe that either. We understand that there is an imbalance in the hierarchy of the human experience, leaning heavily into the patriarchal dominion. The age of Aquarius is upon us and the shift is beginning to sway into that of the soft reception of the feminine energies. Thank goddess (pun intended).
That said, we challenge you to unlock your neuronal webs of entanglement and dive deep into the rabbit hole of the great mystery with us. Below you will find books, blogs, videos, and documentaries challenging conventional religious theory and the control they have over humanity. Dig in…
