Bursting the bubble

What is the purpose of our lives? That’s a question that is very important, but is one we very often don’t have time to answer. We wage slaves are so busy living our dull, monotonous lives that we rarely have time to think about it. The ones who rule us like it that way. They like it that we are so consumed with our dull, pre-planned lives that we barely have time to think, that our hopes and dreams and aspirations are crushed and dulled from an early age, by every institution; the schools, the media and religion. They like it that we hate each other based on our race, sex, or religion. They like that we don’t know what life can truly be. But we are not completely under their control. For although they have divided us along many lines, we still have each other. We still have love and hope and passion and beauty and rage and all the things that make us wonderful beings. Our lives are still full of colour, despite their efforts to dull them. We live our whole lives in a bubble. Your bubble increases in size when you first go to school, when you first get a job, when you first fall in love. This is the bubble of your world, what we call normality. It is this bubble that so helps the ruling elite to hoodwink us. We instinctively think of ourselves as the main character in our own play, with everyone else being just a side character. But one day, the bubble bursts, and you realise that it’s not a play. We are all separate, vulnerable beings who are all thinking this way. Once you truly realise the value of others, and that we are all one, your mind will be expanded beyond what you thought possible, and they will begin to lose their grip on you. 

False Gods

There seem to be a lot of double standards that I see in the so called atheist/skeptic community. So called “New Atheists” have very often acted very cult like in their assertions that, simply because they don’t believe in God, they have a monopoly on reason. I actually agree with them for the most about religion and secularism, although not necessarily their staunchly materialist and anti-spiritual ideas, but the main problem I see with the New Atheists is their refusal to question state narratives. In fact, many New Atheists have been warmongers, for example Christopher Hitchens supporting the Iraq War and Sam Harris suggesting a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. They have also, because of their ethnocentric view of Islam, often been supportive of the War on Terror and bought into the “clash of civilisations” narrative. They posses the religious conviction that whatever the state does is right, and questioning it’s intentions constitutes tacit support for the terrorists. Now, when it comes to events such as the attacks on September 11th, the double standards of these so called skeptics becomes blindingly clear. They have to this day not explained the collapse of WTC 7, the impossible phone calls, the nano-thermite, the speed at which the planes flew, the apparent stand down order, and many other inexplicable things from that day, and yet they believe that blind faith in the official story despite all the evidence constitutes “skepticism”. This is not skepticism, this is religious devotion. True skeptics question everything, and this is not being done here. There are many other false religions and deities that so called “atheists” and “skeptics” believe in, this barely scratches the surface. These are not rational atheists. They are deeply religious polytheists without even realising it.
