Hello Kiddies,
Do you think that all of " God's " creatures have a since of their own mortality? To follow most religious doctrines all was created by some higher being, regardless of the name and that humankind has domain over the planet. This being the case are we not also the groundskeepers and responsible for it's maintenance? This lecture really should be 2 separate blogs but I'm feeling daring!
Inter-connectivity between species. A big phrase for you Neanderthals out there, look it up. At any rate we know that animals have instincts, we know they feel pain and can usually tell when they are content in their habitats. So what makes the human animal more or less important than all the other species on the planet? Does the "sacrificial Wilderbeast" *, not feel pain as the crocodile is chomping on it's hind quarters as it attempt's to cross a narrow river? Most definitely, as we know it cries out in pain and struggles to get away.
Now what about domesticated animals, family pets? They hold a special place in our hearts and some people tell their children that when Rover dies or runs away, he goes to doggie Heaven! Okay so we feel we are more evolved because of all that we have discovered and created not to mention we have a "Soul" and thumbs.
So if you believe all of this then you may have been a victim of Mr. Madof, it's a pyramid scheme. " God" is at the top and some single celled organism is at the very base. Since there are Angels and other Ethereal creatures above us, my guess is that we are about 3/4's or slightly better to the top of the pyramid, where "THE ALPHA & OMEGA" sits on a golden throne. Now that we have established the hierarchy we can work on the inter-connectivity bit. Every creature on this planet in one way or another is dependent on others for it's survival. The higher you get to the top the more dependent you become on those at the base. This is based on scientific methodology and empirical evidence, which isn't really good for the religious community but bare with me. Here's the rub, if all human beings ceased to exist tomorrow, would the earth stop turning? Ah....NO! About the only things that would really suffer are creatures dependent upon us & the things that require us to maintain them. On the other hand, if every single bee species were gone tomorrow humankind would be fucked for quite a while, as they pollinate plants. As studies have shown us, the bee population is decreasing at an alarming rate, we might wanna look into what's up with the bee's. Now here's the best part for you so called religious folks out there, If we did all die off tomorrow, since "God" is at the top of the pyramid, would "it" cease to exist too? If you don't understand the analogy ask your mommy to explain it to you.
You guy's starting to get the point about the stewardship of the planet? Humans are the most dependent on the planet as we are at the top of the food chain or as I should put it "the earthly pyramid". What does "God" have to do with this, personally I don't think "it" has anything to do with anything, this is for your edification not mine. I am saying that if you are religious you should be more concerned with the health of this marvelous gift "God" has bestowed upon you. I don't know that "God" is any more tangible than thought's of extreme fear and insecurity of man's own mortality. I do think that Occam's razor comes into play here and that anything beyound death is a fairy tale to keep people on the straight and narrow. Our very existence is just pure simple stupid luck. So enjoy your time here as it's short and there probably is not anything beyound right here and right now.
AMF...
