Religion is a form of hypnosis.
The Europeans conquered the world with the Bible in one hand and a gun in the other.
Bishop Desmond Tutu (an African Spiritual Leader) said: "When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, 'Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land."
Religions are founded upon the ignorance of the many and the cleverness of the few. It somehow gets people to stop thinking for themselves and to do whatever they are told--no questions asked.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false and by the rulers as useful." --Seneca (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century A.D.
About Me
- PERMAN WILSON
- MY BELIEF IN GOD IS NATURALISTIC: Unlike most people who use the name, God, I have a rational definition for the concept: I define 'god' to mean 'ruler'. When I write the name 'God' with a capital "G," I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony. Thus, for me: (1) Nature is god of the Universe. (2) Humanity is god of the planet Earth. (3) My own mind is god of my own body. I SERVE NATURE BEST BY KNOWING AND OBEYING THE LAWS OF NATURE AS MUCH AS I CAN DETERMINE WITH SCIENCE AND MY SCIENTIFIC THINKING. I SERVE HUMANITY BE BEING HUMANE. I SERVE MY OWN MIND BY CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I REASONABLY CAN, AND THINKING OPTIMISTICALLY, HEALTHFULLY, AND WHOLESOMELY WHILE ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.
