Where real miracles come from...

Religion vs Science
I wish to expose the danger of religion - specifically its damaging viral nature. Even moderate religions eventually spawn a more dangerous breed of fanatacism. Fanatical believers wish to censor and if possible, illiminate scientific knowledge that exposes their myths for what they are. As a result, people have died, books are being burned, propaganda is being made, stem cell research(which would save countless lives from painful diseases) has been blocked, etc.
Religion actively promotes ignorance through misinformation, brainwashing, and censorship(as we've seen here on youtube) - they tamper with the laws and interfere with proper education.
They believe this life has no value - it is only a bus to the afterlife. They believe in the apocalypse and many of them are greatful for the wars. They hold many dangerous beliefs and before long, we will have a world wide disaster. The wars we see around us - make no mistake - are caused by religious differences. If someone tries to tell you otherwise -- think again...
With science we can solve the world's environmental problems, we can reduce disease, we can improve the quality of life, and we can realize even our most imaginative dreams.

First song(finally found) is 'das Rad des Schicksals' by E Nomine.
Second song is 'Against' from Assimilation: Chapter One by Agonoize. Their newest disc is Sieben which is really good.

how true is it?....

@SuperiorMind Ironically for me this provides some degree of plausibility to the evolution of an entity with intelligence and abilities beyond our imagination - tho as residents would inherently be somewhat limited in power and certainly limited in presence due to limit on communication rate thru space due to limit of rate of transfer thru quanta medium(z). Tho with sufficient creativity - these limitations an be overcome in ways that most would never likely realize.

@messianicreformer Universe always existed. First_cause is recursively impossible. All activatorz need an activator of some sort and so on and so forth.

[messianicreformer]

@SuperiorMind Did the Universe(s) always exist or did nothing exist first and then everything came in to being?

[messianicreformer]

@SuperiorMind Sounds like if you were God, the world would be a better place. You've got my vote. Interestingly, and similarily, when you ask Beauty Pageant Contestants and little children what they would do if they were president, many say, "I would end war" and "help feed all hungry people". Maybe God expects mankind to solve many of these problems as it was we who created many of these. Maybe there is a devil who, as well, has promoted some of these, and maybe we seek Him when we need help.

@messianicreformer Don't forget orverlook what's out there - it would be dishonest to regard such unnecessary brutal merciless and humiliating fruitless ongoing sufferings as merely a struggle. We enjoy the challenge and struggle and reward in video games without actually becoming horribly diseased or having our guts ripped out or family brutally burned alive. No justification can exist - only an extremely evil entity if existing might be able to condone such sufferings.

@SuperiorMind If God created evolution then wouldn't these things like viruses, parasites and weeds figure a way to survive and reproduce on their own. A life without struggle is not worth living. Rich people who have no struggles in life often get depressed and seem to find no purpose in life. I like challenges. One thing that has been difficult is overcoming financial hardship. I 've been working my butt off and just began to see the light. It has been a challenge but well worth it.

@messianicreformer There are an infinite number of possibilities -- we are proactively left only with the option of chosing the methods best suited to knowly gain effective results - - other possibilities are not deleted - but remain resident in the host for future examination with respect to effective positive outcome in the future - not just for oneself - but for the mutually benefitial maximization of quality of existence for all.

@messianicreformer Description - a few examples - no garden weeds (do we really need them in the garden?), no sewage, no radiation poisoning, no cancer nor ebola, nor other slow painful agonizing humiliating deaths, no blindness, no deafness, animals don't have to murder each other horrifically to stay alive, no cushings syndrome or other genetic corruption caused diseases, no earthquakes, no tsunamiz, no parasites, no freak accidents -- is agonizing death process really necessary?

[messianicreformer]

@SuperiorMind YOu are right many people are even jealous of others greatness, strength and success rather than just be thankful of their special qualities. However for truth to be acquired one must admit that their is more wisdom outside of oneself than within. Humility says, "He is wiser than I" (when, of course, it is true). Thus when humble people are around truth, the wise, and intelligent they gain wisdom like a sponge. But the prideful think their ways to be greater and won't absorb it.
