What is praying about anyway, it's just begging!

Think about it. What is praying for? People pray to God for everything, to stay alive, to be rich, to eat, to survive, to win Football games, to win Wars. But what exactly is praying? What praying is, is begging!
It is begging God to get something that they think he or it can give them. So God wants you to beg him or it so that you are completely submissive to his or it's power only to force you to become a mental, physical, and Spiritual slave for life.
Begging for mercy, begging for life.
Why does God, this almighty, so called  loving power need you to beg for anything?
Why would God, who owns and controls the entire Universe need you to beg for anything?
Face it, religion is a complete fraud!
It always has been, and always will be a fraud.
It is the worst ponzi scheme ever invented.
The fact that in 2010 A.D. planet Earth has religion to help with it's destruction is sickening at best, and factual at it's worst.
The belief in the unbelievable is Humanity's downfall.
Everything in the Universe is made up of energy, not hard to believe. So there is more to your life than just you, not hard to believe. So that you can use this energy, since it is already there, whenever you learn or know how to use it, and since you do not live in a vacuum but are connected to all things than it would seem highly appropriate to know that the energy outside of yourself can be tapped into mentally, physically and Spiritually.
But this only works if you put action into your thoughts, and not just thoughts alone as in praying.
If you want to be good at something, change something, create something, praying alone does nothing at all, but by putting physical, mental, Spiritual effort into anything, you will get incremental results, desired or not.
So God, your fictional God, has no interest to hear you beg ever, because it does not exist!
The Universe is controlled through cause and effect.
Religion cannot offer or promise anything that any con man or con women can promise you because it is all an illusion!
Face it. Religion is a curable sickness of the mind!

New Years day, what is all the commotion about?

Humans, what a funny species we are. We think that if we create an idea on a certain time frame that things will now "Magically" be different than if we had not done it. New Years eve day, and New Years day, what is the real difference? Nothing!

The Sun will still rise and set, the weather will still travel from West to East, and it will still be nice in Hawaii in December.

Humans like to pretend that we can create new beginnings for ourselves just by saying it, and it is partially true to some extent.
Everyday though we can do that. Every day is a new beginning like New Years day so we never need to wait until once a year for transformation, and rejuvenation.
Each and everyday you, and I can make monumental changes in our lives to get completely new and better outcomes. The key is to understanding that there is always choices to be made, and that each and every choice will have a consequence, and that we ourselves are now responsible for the consequences of those choices, and not anybody else.
Once we act upon this fact only then can you get what you need in life. Only then will you understand that everything is inter-connected to each other.
The laws of Nature revolve around cause and effect. There is no God, no luck, no miracles, no superstition that has any worth or substance other than a sugar coated placebo pill. Strong positive will, being optimistic, acknowledging risk, all provide for a smarter choice, however because of the number of variables that exist in the Universe, still anything can happen at any time.
So today is no different than yesterday, and tomorrow is no different than today.
New Years, like religion, like God is all man made up to make us feel good. It is all mental!
That means you can create this feeling whenever you choose too.
Today is 1/1/2010, it is way past time for the Human race to start doing away with make believe men flying on clouds, stop worshipping false "lamp shade" idols, stop listening to crack-pot con men and women who claim to dine with the Almighty, when you yourself have never been invited, when in fact the con is just to swindle you of your money weekly, and in prison and enslave your mind with fear.
Fear of Death, fear of life, fear of afterlife. Fear in not knowing.
There is no God to save you. There is no Heaven or Hell after you die. There are no miracles, there is  no luck, or superstition to pray to because it is really manufactured for mind control. There are no Virgins waiting to give you sexual pleasure after death. Who the fuck ever came up with that one? What ignorant jerk-offs!
There are no Messiah's coming to save Humanity from itself ever!
So that all means that today will be no different than yesterday, that is, if you did nothing yesterday but complain. If you instead put effort into something new and different than today will be much different than yesterday. If you want a better life you must work at it. You must be willing to make new and different choices to get new and different consequences.
Sure you can continue to make more excuses, and do nothing but complain, but you already know where that got you!
So have a nice day, because  it may be your last. At least enjoy it as one more special day in your life knowing that you could be in control somewhat based on facts, reason, intelligence and knowledge, or that you could think of it as if you are on a plane crashing to Earth from above, and that you are at the mercy of physical impact in seconds, because that is the way God wants it to be, and there is nothing that you can do to change this outcome.
Which one will it be?

God, who is this guy anyway?

The Greatest Story ever told is bogus!

The God story.

 I always liked the movie "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston, he played a very good and powerful Moses image. Long hair, long beard, toga robe, opinionated, narrow minded, sometimes violent, always self - righteous. But this is also the same image of God in every other story, or

fable of God, only that quite often God is seen floating on a cloud in space as well.

 Is it any wonder at all that our ancestors believed in something mythical, magical, superstitious, fake, processed, conjured up, completely false, out and out a lie?
Look what passes for the truth today where you have access to the Worlds known knowledge and yet the same lie exist. FOX TV, racism, hate, bigotry, intolerance, ignorance, jealousy. How is this?
Once we learned that the Earth is not flat, how can people still believe that it is?
Fear!
Fear of the unknown. Fear that there is no Super natural being making decisions for a trillion, trillion, trillion things going on  at the same moment in the Universe. Fear that there is nothing after Death.  No Heaven, no Hell, no return ticket back to existence to try again. Fear that there is no one looking out for you as you journey through life. Fear that you are absolutely on your own from Birth to Death!
In Egyptian Hermetics God is all things, everything that ever was, is and will be, but their concept is closer to the Big Bang concept in that if God is everything than everything is God. Stands to reason if you think this way than God is both good and bad, loving and hateful, gentle and forceful. It would mean that God just is. That would mean God is a warm summer day, or a beheading in Iraq. God is a loving puppy dog or puppy dog fecal matter too. So in this concept there is never a way to separate God from anything, anytime, any place, any event. It is all God. In fact in Egyptian Hermetics God is actually called "The ALL", for he/it/she is inseparable from all things.
The big difference of the Big Bang theory of cause and effect of energy with no direction emotionally from any  Super natural being or not, and Hermetics is that in Hermetics God's purpose, it's  real purpose  is of giving Humans something to know, and believe  and use more as a statement of fact, but with no Human emotional factor thrown in for comfort. Thus no Human image. God would be seen more like photos seen from the Hubble telescope of distant space/time of planets and stars by the billions. So according to Hermetics you are on your own but the energy of the Universe is at your use if you learn how to use it.  For the religious, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths in  the Old and New Testament, in all the  descriptions of him,  God  has Human qualities, Human emotions, a Human look and everything God does is based on " HIS" human related emotions..God looks just like a Old man, but most certainly  man's image and not a women.  For the religious person, a  religious God is the composer of all things, but only when they are to their liking and when they are not, they created the Devil as a necessary villain because they don't want to have to explain to people that God is both loving and brutally violent. Who would believe this even in the Ancient World or the modern World?
Turns out, most everybody then and now.
That is why in religion it  is such a dismal failure for  religion to use God for anything, for it is no more than a sham.
Today in 2009 AD. 1,000's of years after  Judaism began, over 2,000 years since Jesus, and 1,500 years since Mohammad was walking the Earth, millions of Humans will die, and none of them will receive a magical life saving hand from or be shown any mercy from any God. None!
Thousands will be born today with physical handicaps of no legs, arms, sight, brain damage, genetic problems and not one of these poor souls will receive a miracle from God. They will just have to suffer for as long as they are alive. That could mean that they die at Birth, in the womb or at any time in their lives.
More people have been killed, butchered, brutalised, maimed, tortured, beat, hung, shot, stabbed, be-headed, buried alive etc...... using God and religion as a justification than any other Human concept, along with greed.
God was never there to save any of these people from a grizzly death.
I have news for you folks reading this, or never reading this. There is no God, never was, and never will be. You are on your own. If you want and need help in life you will need to form some alliances. These other people will be the only physical support you will ever receive. On top of that you will always have access to and can use the energies of the Universe that are here everyday, all the time.
Positive thinking, knowledge, facts, science, your own good choices and your own good behavior will be your best guide to any prosperous, enjoyable future.
Don't be a victim, instead be the Director of your own life and your own Happiness.
It is yours if you truly want it, but it will take effort, some discipline, and time.
Good fortune to those who chose correctly.

Set back for women in Afghanistan elections

I read this article this morning about the setback for women in Afghanistan after the tally of the election votes, accompanied with photos of women in barkas from head to toe. It is revolting to say the least. Ever since men have justified using religion and God to enslave women it has only gotten worse. Religion truly is the scourge of Humanity. At the present moment the Islamic cult is at the top of the cruelty charts for the barbarous acts done to women in the name of God. But the other religious cults have just as much blame as well. After all Christianity has burned it's share of Witches, all in the name of a loving , kind,  and forgiving God that will put you in eternal Hell if you don't do as it wants!  WOW! All religions degrade women as things and not as equal partners in life's journey. It seems stunning that in 2009 Humanity has not come so far as it thinks. Religion relies on self serving ignorance of all scientific facts, complete fabrication of facts to serve it's own purpose, and intense hostility, fear, torture, and death to protect it's wealth -  A growing Human population ready to serve it's master.
Today all around  planet Earth there are Millions of castles sitting empty that we call Churches, Moscs, Synagogues built to worship a fictional man who floats on a cloud in the sky, wearing a toga robe, has long hair, and a long beard who is making decision for everything in the Universe, at every moment since complete darkness or pre Big Bang. ..
This fictional man is loving yet more brutal and selfish than any human can phantom. He is forgiving yet holds a grudge for eternity, he is merciful yet kills the innocent in the name of himself.
Religion is the Dark Ages for planet Earth only continued from Cave people to modern Humans.
What a long strange trip it's been!
