It's All In The Wiring

I wish we could leave religion out of this site, but alas it always rears its head. This country was founding fathers based our Government on seperation of church and state, but we have not had the wisdom to stay with that principal. Frankly, I doubt many cucks or cuckoldresses are religious but ofcourse we are spiritual.
When times are tough, what do you do? When the doctor tells you
you've got 12 minutes left, what do you do? People pray, or, for lack
of a better term: beseech the symbolic big baboon to save their souls
- since their bodies are doomed.
Religious feelings are hard wired into the human being. Even those
who deny a figure head and the concept of "deity" still say things like,
"It's nature.. the order of things lead us to this ... it's only logical."
Thus they still "think" that things have a meaning rather than just a
function.
This next statement is 100% correct, yet it is exactly false. Just an
insight as to how tightly wired we are to believe in the unbelievable.
We are here, we humans exist, ONLY because the sun is exactly
the distance it is from earth. And the moon is exactly the size it is and
drifts away from the earth at exactly the velocity it does. And the
earth's core is exactly the size it is and made of iron and spins exactly
at the velocity it is spinning at. And because a comet or asteroid struck
the planet at the proper time and created just the perfect environment
to produce humans. And that a funny looking shrub-hamster grew
strange hands and stood on 2 feet ******** it's sexual organs to the
world - thus frightening all other creatures and allowing the hamster
time to develop abstract thought. And because meteors rained H2O down
on the earth. And because human history worked it's way in a dominent
path to all other (animal and geological) histories. And because human
history went exactly as it has (one change would have changed
everything...consider if Jesus were born in Greece or Egypt or China.)
Above all these situations, individually, they all transpired in a specific
order and timing. There alone in that last sentence is proof of a universal
architect - a god.
And all of it seems completely logical if you're hard wire to think so.
Actually, however, all of it is a product of a star that is a certain size
and under specific conditions. And - probably - happened only once...
and it had to happen only once to "seem" divine. All of it is also the
condition that forms a being that is hard wired to see things in that fashion.
We are children of the universe. Ants are conditioned to serve a queen
bee and to dig. Ducks are conditioned to swim and take one mate. People
are conditioned to serve (a) "MAN" (like figure.) And to internalize the external world.
The sanest person I ever knew once remarked to me after a stiff drink and a soul searching conversation about things as they are - when I thought he would make the remark, "It's all bull shit," - said, "It's all human shit."
And that it is.
