Rants on Religion - The Last Bit.

“The more you begin to investigate, what we think we understand, where we came from, what we think we are doing, the more you begin to see we have been lied to. We have been lied to by every institution. What makes you think that the religious institution is the only institution which has not been touched? The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt. The religious institutions of this world are put there by the same people who gave you your government, your corrupt education and set up the international banking cartels, because our masters don’t give a damn about you or your family. All they care about is what they have always cared about, that is controlling the whole damn world. We have been misled away from the truth and the divine presence in the universe that men have called God. I don’t know what God is, but I know what He isn’t. And unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth, wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to, if you want to look the other way or if you want to play favourites, then somewhere along the line you are going to find out that you are messing with divine justice. The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things come from, the more obvious things become, and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth and seek the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - Z

“They must find it difficult...those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority.” – G. Massey, Egyptologist.

The sad part is, we don’t find it difficult. We still live “happily” while fooling ourselves. Looking at “happy” people, I begin to doubt if it really is better to be an unsatisfied Socrates than being a satisfied fool.

“All religious systems are the fraud of the age. It serves to detach the species from the natural world and likewise each other. It supports blind submission to authority, it reduces human responsibility to the effect that God controls everything and in turn awful crimes can be justified in the name of the divine pursuit. And most importantly, it empowers those who know the truth to use the myth to manipulate and control society. The religious myth is the most powerful device ever created and serves as a psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish." - Z

Like Chomsky says, policy-makers and social-control freaks over the years have believed that because of the stupidity of the common man, he follows faith and not reason. And this naive faith requires necessary illusions and emotionally potent oversimplifications which are provided by the myth makers to keep the common man on course. Religion is one such myth, a necessary illusion which oversimplifies life. And because a highly educated society is difficult to ‘handle’ and manipulate, it is with explanations like religion with which powers that be dumb us down to later extort and run.
