The problem with Genesis
SDAI-Tech1 — (archived)

Genesis and all religious diatribes about creation are used to control people. The bible is not an educational tool it is all about control. A book created by men to empower some men to control others through fear.

That's horribly wrong. The infinite multiverse encapsulated into a subversive book about vengeance, obedience, hatred and worship is so impossibly finite - and human.

The fear of death, due to ignorance of what death is, has enslaved billions to theisms, and control by others. If you want an afterlife you must do as we say, accept our truth as yours and worship.

The concept of worshipping in the first place is so elemental it only belongs among the ignorant. What is worship? Worship is fear, ignorance and mental slavery all wrapped up into one.

If you worship any god or anything...it means you relinquish your own infinite birthright and potential. It means you do not understand something and have elevated it above you and made yourself a slave to it.

Advanced beings do not worship anything nor do they wish to be worshipped because they understand worship is self-destructive to those who engage in it.

Any god who seeks worship is not a god at all, but an evil being. A selfish, finite being who through worship seeks to subvert others progressive evolution.

Unfortunately, much of humanity does not have the capacity to see through the fallacy of worship. They need to worship, suffer and cause others to suffer because of worship. They need the escape mechanism of a god to blame for their misfortunes and the simplicity of prayer instead of hard work and personal development to achieve their goals. They are not ready to accept complete responsibility for their direction and development. They need a savior, a god, a pie-in-the-sky Santa Claus with white robes to tell them what to do, what not to do and what will be rewarded and what will not.

Religion, gods, Genesis and all these thing are hopelessly primitive and destructive to an advanced mind. However they serve a purpose for societies to control the more savage among them who, without religion, would might see nothing wrong in killing, lying cheating, stealing, adultery, etcetera.

So religion has a purpose in the infinite scheme of things. It is man's first way of learning and trying to perceive the whys and whatnots of the universe around him and the first groping around in the dark with the concepts of good and evil.

However, once you evolve past the point where it is useful, religion will become a great evil, enslave you, limit you, stunt your growth and as a proponent of religion your actions will then enslave, harm and hamper others growth as well. The result will be, once you learn of the harm you are doing, you will have to undo this, speak against religion and try to free others from the evil concept of worship which one fully embraced when one did not understand its evil. Once you attain balance, perhaps after many lives, you will be free to speak of religion, gods and worship without the emotional bias but with great understanding.
