If you Fuck-Up, you might as well enjoy it. Because God knows that’s what our modern day concept, nay, THE Concept of religion is… Of turning a simple way of life into a set of rules to be followed or broken. Dulaity, my firends, has entered the fucking building.
How could you possibly do something “right” withought knowing the “wrong” way as well. If you didn’t, it remains a benign action. Then some other Human comes over and “fills you in.” Hence, the Forbidden Fruit -But wait, who forbade it? and by what right? Now, the conundrum….
God is bloody brilliant, you see. The only way to afford Humans “free-will” was to provide choice. But if He.She.It had just put some people in a garden and said have a heyday everything would have turned out peachy. But when there is ONE thing a Human cannot do, things get interesting. Questions are raised. But via free will, are we not allowed to choose either way no matter what? no, I think not. Implied within the nature of free will is Consequence. Sure, you are free to choose to do what you were told not to do, but then the entire paradigm shifts. On the Seventh Day of creation, the contract was handed to us, and we made some serious changes.
It seems like a good idea to put a conscience on paper so no one forgets….Until you think the thought that everyone has one. A conscience that is. and no matter what it is, it is implicit within humans, much like animal instinct. Fact: no Human is 100% the same. Therefore, Fact: Everyone’s conscience is different.
I would encourage all people to cease the use of qualitative words: better, worse, almost as good as, etc. and see what happens. It’s about time Mr. Singularity had a turn.
