Well as a gamer nerd i was looking for inspirations in D&D game manuels and such. Nothing fancy then i came about this paragraph. After some thinking it is a great view that society needs to consider.
"her interests lie beyond this dimension. The aboleths understand this and they know that the blood queen didn't spawn them out of scientific curiosity or a need for companionship. At best the foundation of their race was a cosmic accident that came about as a byproduct of the blood queens body in the physical world. Yet the concept does not trouble the aboleth, if anything it has liberated them. If their progenitor is uncaring and unfeeling to them they are free to make their own progress through existence without fear of reprisal or desire to please. What the aboleth race has done and shall continue to do is for itself." If there is or isnt a god doesnt matter, our life is here and in nature. This current view of a divine plan and gods will is litteraly making people a slave to their own imagination. Science and society needs improving and religion is nothing but a basic belief that is holding back our progress as a species. Any others who agree? I dont understand why some people NEED a divine purpose or plan, if life is a godless accident it doesnt change the value of the beauty we live in! ^^ |

Most people believe that what happens here, on Earth, barely matters because no matter how bad things get, it's alright, it's part of God's plan and in the end, God will fix everything. Not to mention, if one follows the "rules", one gets to live forever in paradise. This is very alluring to most people. Fear, of death mostly, is a very powerful motivation. |

Makes me think of a quote from part of a book i was reading, by Steven Erikson. It's called Dust of Dreams, the 9th book in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. It's a fantasy story, so if you enjoy those i strongly recommend it.
"Was the definition of religion as simple as that? Longing for the other? Fuelling that wish with faith, emulating desires through rituals? That what we wish to be therefore is. THat what we seek in truth exists. THat in believing we create, and in creating we find. By that argument, is not the opposite equally true? That what we reject ceases. That 'truth' is born in what we seek. THat we create in order to believe. That we find only what we have created. That wonder does not exist outside ourselves? By our belief, we create the gods. And so, in turn, we can destroy them. With a single thought. A moment's refusal, an instant's denial." ~ Page 539 |
