TaiOneCultYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. The world is just a matter of perception, if you believe something enough, it becomes true. The great trick is to convince enough people that your belief is more than just an anomaly, some kooky fringe thing. A cult is a good start; just ask the Catholics. The world was flat once, and we were the centre of the universe. God talked to common men, and one or two virgin births were simply taken as a given. But you have to watch out for competition. Look at Catholicism now: it’s still a big hitter, but the new kid on the ideological block is science. The world is a sphere, everyone knows that and we stay on it through gravity, and you get sick from invisible organisms that invade your body through your nose and mouth. But where religion got bogged down in its own success, namely, 'believe what we say, what we say is the ultimate truth, it can never change no matter what is discovered later.' Then you got a couple of smarmy bastards like Galileo, who pipe up with a "but" or two, you burn them and all's good, but the "buts" have a way of leaking through the ecclesiastical cracks. Science, the clever bastard, fixes that by saying 'Believe in what we say, what we say is the ultimate truth, until scientifically proven otherwise.' However, science also suffers from a dogmatic perspective, if your discovery or revelation or whatever can't be quantified and boxed in a scientific manner, it's deemed nonsense and the scientific community ridicules you. However, I've discovered the secret, it's not about the science, or about religion. It's about belief. If you can dream it, you can be it ~Dr Frankenfurter would be proud!! -- GnomeThing?. The powers that be have tried to suppress this ultimate truth, this nirvana, this key to true happiness. It's not about what you believe. It's how much you believe it. If you base your life on science, or religion, that's fine with me, but you got to believe it with your heart, mind, and soul. I don't care if your faith is in the bible, or the torah, or the Koran. I don't care if your faith is in Nature magazine, or new scientist, or national geographic. I don’t care if your faith is in crystals, or chakras, or Billy Graham on network tv. I don't care if your faith is blind, or if it is seen through a microscope. Just that you aren’t apathetic about it. Perhaps you believe in apathy, but only halfheartedly. I wrote this at 4am and i had to put it somewhere. Feel free to comment. |
