Be assured that, for every religion promising a great afterlife there is another religion somewhere else which will promise you that that the other religion has it wrong — and will do so with just as much fervour as the first.

Neither science nor secular humanism provides answers to this question the answer is none of them.

The old testament has no heaven or hell. These only get added in the NT.

Without going into the specifics for what an “after-life” and a “religion” actually are:

No one knows anything about an afterlife.

It is said that religion can be elucidated in various ways.

Here is what a few of the main religions offer. 

As needs be the summary underneath is incomplete.

Buddhism and (possibly?) and Jainism offer reincarnation until one achieves enlightenment, at which point one’s soul merges with the great universal soul of Heaven.

Hinduism: Oldest living religion on earth with 33 Supreme Gods in the form of Lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, Lord Hanuman, Goddess Durga, Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Parvati, Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Kali, and scores of other Gods, and Goddesses. Hindus believe that their Gods and Goddesses have specialized knowledge, creative energy, and exalted magical powers.

According to one’s own karma. No religion except it gives a detailed explanation of what happens afterlife and what happens before life and what happens in between two lives.

Punishment consists of being reincarnated as a more lowly life form. You are punished in hell for your wrongdoings And rewarded in heaven for good things. But these are not permanent. After a specific time, you are again kicked back to Earth. And the cycle on birth and death starts again till you neutralize all your karmas and become one with that infinite universal god.

Christianity and Islam, offer eternal bliss in communion with God.

Punishment takes the form of Hell and eternal torment.

Sikhism. God in Sikhism is known as Ik Onkar, he has no gender, beyond time and space and without form. It forbids the representation of God in images.

It has elements of Hinduism and Islam in its beliefs, practices, and traditions. It retains the general Hindu conception of the universe and the doctrine of samsara, or rebirth, based on karma.

Sikhs do not cut their hair. According to Sikhism, all days of the week and all numbers are the same, no one day or a number is better than the other.

One need not perform any rituals or believe in superstitions to receive God’s love.

Guru Gobind Singh was the last Guru of the Sikhs in human form. He created the Khalsa, a spiritual brotherhood and sisterhood devoted to purity of thought and action.

Vikings believed in a multitude of realms or homeworlds, nine in total populated by gods, humans, and giants and sinners.

The three primary realms were Niflheim, the world of the mist, Midgard the land of mortals and Asgard the home of the Aesir gods. Vanaheimr home of the Vanir, Jotunheim was the land of the mighty Norse giants, Alfheim was the land of the elves in Norse mythology, Svartalfheim the home of the dark elves, Muspelheim the realm of fire, Helheim also known as Hel was the underworld of Norse mythology and was home to the being who oversaw this realm also called Hel.

Helheim was the place where Vikings would go should they die from natural causes, or more specifically not in battle. Once there, it would be impossible to leave, Helheim was surrounded by the river Gjoll and guarded by a devilish giant hound, known as Garm.

They who died gloriously in battle go to Valhalla, where they feasted and drank mead all night and fought all day.

Punishment. A dreadful afterlife called Hella.

Atheism, It doesn’t make any afterlife promises that it won’t deliver.

Bahá’í one of the youngest of the world’s major religions. It was founded by Bahá’u’lláh in Iran in 1863. The central idea of faith is that of unity. They believe that people should work together for the common benefit of humanity.

Buddhism.  Has lots of views you are basically psychologically dismembered, layer by layer. As you pass through your journey, layers of your being are erased and rewritten into a new being. There is nothing left of the old you when the process is complete. You can try over and over again to get off the Wheel of Life by reincarnation.

The other possibility is Nirvana, in which you stop being reborn. You become one with everything, yet you also lose all identity. This is why Nirvana is often called “The Deathless State”

Once the process is complete, you are reborn into samsara (The physical world)

Buddhists believe that the 6 realms are literal, that people really come back as Devas or Pretas.

Someone who responds with Anger will enter Naraka or hell,

Someone who responds with greed or desire will become a Preta or hungry ghost,

Someone who responds with Ignorance or Stubbornness will enter the realm of the Tiryag-Yoni, or animals,

A person who responds with Passion or the Desire to Control will be reborn into the Human Realm,

A person who responds with Fear will be reborn as an Asura, or jealous-god,

A person who responds with Pride or Arrogance will be reborn as a Deva, or god.

Pantheism, offer the free option of never dying, through the realization that you existed long before birth.

Islam. Muslims believe that a good devout Muslim man will be given 62 additional wives in heaven.

Taoism, the main belief of the Taoist is that becoming one with the Tao, or, the life force of the universe brings peace and harmony to them. They believe that we are eternal and that the afterlife is just another part of life itself.

Mormons believe that most people will end up in one of three kingdoms of glory, depending on one’s level of faithfulness. They believe that God gives to (virtually) everyone general salvation to immortal life in one of the heavenly kingdoms. Belief in Christ is necessary only to obtain passage to the highest, celestial kingdom.

Judaism. Jews assumed that God chose the Jews to be the picked people to set the cases to that of the greatness moreover the ethical lead to the entire world. Judaism is an antiquated monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational content.

Shintoism believe that daily life is made possible by kami, and accordingly, the personality and life of people are worthy of respect. An individual must revere the basic human rights of everyone as well as his own. The believers of this religion assumed that the supernatural powers existed in the trademark world.

Scientology, believes in the “immortality of each individual’s spirit,” therefore making death, not a significant worry. The spirit acquires another body necessary for growth and survival. Scientologists do not typically dwell on Heaven or Hell or the afterlife, instead focusing on the spirit.

Zoroastrianism believe in the existence of separation of good and evil.

Dogans believe in various malevolent and benevolent spirits who populate the bush, trees, and uninhabited places. Although the Dogon recognize the creator god Amma as the Supreme Being and address prayers and sacrifices to him, the core set of beliefs and practices focuses on ancestor worship. Death is conceived as the separation from the body of the two parts that make up the personality—the nyama, or vital life force, and the kikinu say, or soul.

Amentotop 111 believed he was a living sun god.

Native American, Australian, Polynesian, Southeast Asian, or Central Asian religions

Several seem to threaten eternal torment for not believing them.

In the end, it doesn’t even matter that to which religion one belongs to. We take birth as human beings and die as human beings. A strong society means survival of the species.

History has shown that beliefs and faith, of the most intransigent kind, have served as the justification for tragic violence and destruction and sustained the ignorance of people. People have slaughtered each other in wars, pogroms, genocides, inquisitions, crusades, and political actions for centuries and still kill each other over beliefs in ideologies, politics, philosophies, and religion. 

So how about my new religion-  Problemist  – it could be or could not be.

Instead of owning beliefs, we are open to all beliefs allows us to correct our mistakes without submitting our ideas to years or centuries of traditional time-consuming barriers.

Problematic beliefs do not leave behind fossil evidence.

We communicate without resorting to preconceived ideas based on past beliefs. Our feeling of wonder about the universe provides us with the fuel for exploration; how much more magnificent the results from useful thoughts than ones based on belief or faith.

We do not require education, knowledge, or understanding. Even the most uneducated of us can believe in anything.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: WILL THERE BE A PLACE FOR GOD IN THE SINGULARITY.

( A seven minute read)

In a recent post I asked if artificial intelligence is the breaking point for Capitalism.

We have low-grade artificial intelligence systems today; But that’s nothing compared to what we can expect in the future.

Assuming global trends continue might religion someday disappear entirely?

What might happen when superintelligence bumps into religion.

Ancient scriptures from various religions say virtually nothing about science and technology, and what they do say about them is usually wrong. People interpret their religious scriptures, revelations, and beliefs in all sorts of ways.Afficher l'image d'origine

The fact is that the authors of ancient scriptures in all religious traditions obviously knew nothing of modern science.

We need to start by understanding where we are headed and prepare for the changes.

As we progress down the road toward an autonomous economy, human labor becomes obsolete and the world economic production goes on auto-pilot.

However, that not only fundamentally changes the political paradigm but the religious one as well.

In the current paradigm, Capital/labor are necessary now because we are bound inside of the labor/survival paradigm. If that relationship changes, that paradigm ceases to exist and something new emerges.

So can we expect the need for religion to disappear as a real-life god—our near perfect moral selves—symbiotically commune with us.

When you think about it, trying to wrap your brain around how digital technology and all its wonders are even possible is simply bizarre.

Only a tiny fraction of the world’s population understand such things in any depth. And an even smaller amount of people actually know how to design and create the microchips, circuit boards, and software that constitutes this stuff in the real world.

Human beings are a species dependent on a tech-imbued lifestyle that none of us really understand, but accept wholeheartedly as we go on endlessly texting, Facebook’s, and video conferencing.

Capitalism, access to technology and education also seems to correlate with a corrosion of religiosity in some populations. These countries feature strong educational and social security systems, low inequality and are all relatively wealthy. “Basically, people are less scared about what might befall them.

Today’s technology revolutions are happening within years. It may well create a few intellectually challenging jobs, but we won’t be able to retrain the workers who lose today’s jobs. They will experience the same unemployment and despair that their forefathers did.

It is they who we need to worry about.

As climate change wreaks havoc on the world in coming years and natural resources potentially grow scarce, then suffering and hardship could fuel religiosity.

Expect a much more utopian society for whatever social structures end up existing in virtual reality and cyberspace.

But even if the world’s troubles were miraculously solved and we all led peaceful lives in equity, religion would probably still be around.

Human beings naturally want to believe that they are a part of something bigger, that life isn’t completely futile. Our minds crave purpose and explanation.

The tension between technology and the human soul dates all the way back to the Old Testament. Religion is not only a belief system it’s a power, to be used for good or evil, as it clearly has been used for both historically.

Religion already isn’t benign, and any religion worthy of a superintelligence certainly would be even less so.

There are no laws or rules in computer science that would make it impossible for software to hold a religious belief.

Religious superintelligence may be either the best or the worst kind of superintelligence—sublimely compassionate or horribly oppressive.

The question is will our belief in God accompany us into the future.

No gods will save us from Artificial Intelligence, so will there be some level of consciousness that is not associated with biological life.

The technological marvel of uploading minds and consciousness into a cyber environment and then connecting all the minds together may preclude humans from expressing humanity.

It’s just impossible to digest the very real fact that a super-advanced intelligence is growing through us and out of us and its initial sprouts look like technology.

I fear one that is indifferent to us.

This raises the question of what it’s like to be superintelligent, or in other words, how alive you would feel as one.

A superintelligent machine would likely be more conscious than we are, in that it would build a more elaborate model of reality and its consciousness would be composed of more feedback loops than we have in our own brains.

Shouldn’t we be trusting it to tell us what religion is real?

If a computer is 10,000 times smarter than a human, then won’t it already have deduced with certainty which, if any, religion is true?

Humans will attempt to persuade machines to just about all of our vying ideas, and machines will do the same in return. There will be new and unfamiliar forms of interaction enabled by whatever technological interfaces become available, such as brain-to-computer interfacing. Creating a technical incompatibility between machine intelligence and religious beliefs, but humans are already proof of concept.

I do think we can identify some limits to the possibility space of intelligence in general, based on logic and physics, but religiosity remains clearly within the possibility space.

It’s worth pointing out, perhaps, that some of us conceive of religion too narrowly to account for how it’s actually functioned from deep history to the present, and a strong case can be made that transhumanists often (but not always) manifests itself as a religion, even if misrecognized. Religious transhumanists tend to associate with emerging and future technology risks and opportunities.

I do not believe that we will see one single superintelligence, but many that will be interacting—a race of AI beings.

Once the AI becomes cognizant of the depth of its knowledge, operating capacity, speed, and even potential physical manipulation, the AI will choose a path for its continued existence that may preclude the existence of religion or for that matter man.

I fear it could produce one that is indifferent to us, and from that indifference produces actions that break the line of human life that extends back to the first life on Earth.

Religion will probably never go away. Religion, whether it’s maintained through fear or love, is highly successful at perpetuating itself. Even if we lose sight of the Christian, Muslim and Hindu gods and all the rest, superstitions and spiritualism will almost certainly still prevail.

If we can develop the economic structures necessary to distribute the prosperity we are creating, most people will no longer have to work to sustain themselves.

They will be free to pursue other creative endeavors. The problem, however, is that without jobs, they will not have the dignity, social engagement, and sense of fulfillment that comes from work. The life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that the constitution entitles us to won’t be through labor, it will have to be through other means.

There are two kinds of truths; the relative truth that appeals to certain masses but not to all, and the absolute truth which can also be regarded as the universal truth.

For most people, religiousness falls under the first category while spirituality is considered as the absolute truth.

You may practice everything like your forefathers did, but it will not be a source of peace and satisfaction till you are aware about your own realities as an inhabitant of life!

We need work to mitigate the risks while pursuing the opportunities.

All of us suffer from the same fatal disease called life.

In today’s modern world we take so much for granted that life is not what it seems. 

In an infinite universe you are not unique you are insignificant.

How quickly we have regressed from all life having value to negotiating the circumstances of our own and other’s demise. Should we have the ability to value our own lives, or is this something we should ask the government to do for us or is it really impossible to put a value on human life.

The “infinite” value of a “priceless” human life is under attack.  Death is not an event of life so is our earthly life meaningless?

Every thing has being figured out except how to live in a world that is so complicated so diverse, that it is beyond must human comprehension. Unless it’s a Muslim accused of terrorism, in which case they should be dispatched post-haste.  After the outrage dies down, nothing will change.

Here is an overview of Life. 

To Quote Jason Silva

” FOLLOW YOUR BLISS AND THE UNIVERSE OPENS DOORS FOR YOU WHERE THERE WERE ONLY WALLS.”

Realize that society cannot spend an infinite amount of money to protect and extend each person’s life, and some choices have to be made in the realm of health and safety regulation. We have to decide to what extent we are willing to expand resources to prevent unnecessary death rather than improve education, increase handicap access, or ensure a cleaner environment.

These days Money, after all, represents the distilled life of the person who earned it. And if life has any value, then people should be at ethical liberty to spend it as they wish. But not everybody believes that. Is cloning humans moral?  How about stem-cell research, which offers the near-term prospect of practically eternal life? How about selling body parts?

Online bidding at eBay pushed the price of a kidney to $5.7 million before the web auctioneer stopped the bidding because it violated federal laws. The offering, posted by a Floridian named ‘Hchero’, read as follows: “Fully functional kidney for sale. You can choose either kidney. Buyer pays all transplant and medical costs. Of course, only one for sale, as I need the other one to live. Serious bids only.”

As well as online auctions of human eggs, which has also been made illegal. A California entrepreneur launched a new website allowing infertile couples (among others) to bid on the ova of beautiful models and actresses.

Estimates were that bids could go as high as $150,000 at the website, which attracted nearly 5 million hits in the first 24 hours of operation last year. Bio-ethicists think it promotes shallow values.

While many people think of governments in terms of wasteful bureaucracies and windbag politicians, recent events in Paris have reminded us that they are also places where life-and-death decisions are made. However the place where a human life stands the least chance of survival is, in fact, the very place where it should be most protected in a mother’s womb.

The concept of infinite value of a human life leads to a sense of cognitive dissonance in the light of the real world life has a finite value, just like anything else.

So what is the value of life? In theory, a year of human life is priceless. In reality, it’s worth $50,000.

May be we should be asking what is the value of existence rather than life.

Do you not see any value in anything you do or achieve? Are the pleasures in life are mere deceptions, stifling the terror of death?

The cosmic wave back ground of the big bang is an only a snap shot of the Universe that we have. Light takes one second to travel to the moon. One hour to Jupiter. So you can calculate the years to the beginning of the universe by light -13.7 million years ago but the question is where does the light come from and where does it go as infinity has no end.

To Jason Silva Again.

” Life exists in individual moments and it is up to us make sure that those moments are vast, interconnected and grand. A journey through time and space to the nuclear hub of creation. We all destined to make this journey back to the source of all that exists an endless voyage of discovery that begins at the very moment of mortal death.”

” To make a masterpiece out of life. One that we would live again and again for all eternity. This is what we should strive for. I love this idea, essentialising our lives, of italicising our experiences, of turning our story into thus story, of seeing the universe in the pacific and sort of align ourselves with the archetype of the Hero’s journey, of trying to see a departure from the ordinary in every single instant. A chance to learn something new, a chance to leverage obstacles and learn from them and met people along the way that can teach us something.”

“Transcend your own limitations, as Stephen Johnston says, “ the world is full of clues and you can read your way through it.” If you are able to turn your life into an art piece. If you are able to turn your narrative into a non-narrative, then you become that Hero; you become the God of your life. It is the archetype of every Film. It’s the Joseph Campbell Hero’s journey.”

 

How we compare the relative values of human lives—and why we’re able to do so at all, despite the frequently expressed sentiment that all lives have equal worth is governed by age that affects our assessment of a human life.

So if we can calculate the age of the Universe by cosmic waves is it logic to assume that there is different sizes of infinity like a Google Plex that can not be written down.

 

 

The last organ to die, is the brain. At the moment of death, a person recalls one’s entire life in a span of a few seconds. Most common memories include a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of an overwhelming light.

Life principle” of one’s future existence, and the nature of these thoughts will depend upon the predominant character during the person’s life.

Have we  just answered one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind.

 

 

Far from it.

Scientology actually sign a billion year contract with the church leadership for membership of their soul to the church.

The Christian point of view, if death is conceived as final, it denies the prospect of eternal life in paradise and the concept of divine reward and punishment. There is a linear concept of time; the world is created, we all act out God’s plan and eventually the world will end and we will live in eternity with God.

Hinduism and Buddhism believe that we have another existence in the next life.

Mormons believe in a three-tiered heaven

Most Moslems believe in a heaven or hell and a last judgement which will happen on the last day.

Voodooism from the Caribbean and Shintoism from Japan and certain Persian religions believe in the divine.

Jews mostly focus on this life on earth but there are elements of Orthodox Jews that believe in the “World to come!” Some Jews have argued that the dead will be resurrected after the Messiah comes. Jesus Christ is not the Messiah. They are waiting for the real Messiah.

For the religious person, meaning and life after death are therefore inextricably linked. Death is considered evil by those who think that it removes meaning from life.

Epicurus ethics is that we should be free of fears and anxieties and that one should not let death ruin your life.

Lucretius assumes a symmetry of past and future; not being born and being dead are equivalent. Religion and philosophy are attempts to give meaning to life, when we discover that there really is none.

We can only judge life from the internal perspective.

The meaning of life can only be found within life itself. The eternal hourglass of existence is eternally turned—and you with it. The life we currently lead is the most important of all. This in contrast with the Christian point of view in which this life is only a speck in eternity.

Human Beings are  marked by the capacity to transcend instinct and desire and to make conscious, ethical choices.

Life only has meaning specifically because there is an end.

Death is what forces people to live.  An unexamined life is not worth living’

Confused. Don’t be Life is the Bolus- bolus. The eternal recurrence of the same.

So are we  mentally dead.

The idea that “human life is sacred” is important because it functions as a foundation stone. It is the axiom on which rests the whole of our civilization respect for life is not just a religious value, it is a foundational value of all societies in which reasonable people would want to live especially in conditions of radical uncertainty where values and principles might compete with equal ‘weight’  

Every living human being lives by certain values. The positive values are Honesty, Compassion, Integrity, Forgiveness, Love, Knowledge, Discipline, Faith, and Leadership. The negative values like prejudice, hatred, greed, selfishness,

Broadly there are three types of human beings in existence in reference to human values

The first kind is the ones who think, what rightfully belongs to others, is other’s property, and even what belongs to them is also meant for others. An attitude of supreme sacrifice and renunciation, these human beings are closer to divinity than humanity.

The second kind is the one that thinks, what belongs to others is other’s property, but what belongs to them is their sole property and theirs by right. These classes of humans are more of human and less of divine, but they are of no harm to the society. they are very close to being perfect human beings.

The third type is the one which think that whatever exists on this planet belongs to them and they should get it by means fair or foul. These types of people are one with the least human values and they are a danger to the society.

The Problem with the disease of life is that there is no distinction between defending human life and promoting the dignity of the human person.

To achieve this goal, the priority plan should be free Education for all. Without education the struggle for equality will be an unending source of social strife unless man begins to view his fellows as brethren – human beings to whom he owes love and loyalty and for whom he is willing to sacrifice.

Without this society degenerates into opposing factions, each insisting on its own set of rights and the duty we owe each other as brothers and sisters is quickly forgotten as the Darwinian struggle reasserts itself.

The inevitable result of radical secularization and Islamization will be war, destruction and death on an unimaginable scale as each opposing group makes its claim on the measure of human worth.

Conclusion: 

The values the lives of people in rich nations up to fifteen times higher than those in poor countries. Since each stage of life has its own unique gift to give to humanity, we need to do whatever we can to support the even spread of opportunity to all by capping Greed ( SEE Previous Posts)

We ought to take the same attitude toward nurturing the human life cycle as we do toward saving the environment from global warming and industrial pollutants.

Life or existence is a gamble- here to day gone to morrow – A walking shadow that struts and frets its hour on the stage. That screams and cry’s and is heard no more.

LIVE AND LET LIVE. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARE YOU A YOUNG OR OLD MUSLIM?

If you are reading this I firstly want you to know that I could not care whether you are young or old, a practicing Sunnis or Shias, a Jew, a Christian, or a Muslim from what ever Sect, my only concern is that you have an open mind.

I don’t propose to know much about the roots of pure forms of any religion especially Islam.

However the history of all religions that are based on books, (the texts of which are open to widely varying interpretations, process which often involves outbidding them in a contest for greater “authenticity” ) has led to conflicts and suppression of all other beliefs.

Why do I say this?

Because I am from a country that to this day after seven hundred years of struggle against an occupier and civil war, is still effected by interpretations, bigotry, suffering, and death, that has nothing to do with Muslim who you could count on one hand.

So in this post I am not going to lecture on past history, but suggest solutions to present day conflicts.

My purpose here is to highlight some of the reasons we find ourselves in such a mess with the Arab world.

We all have a right to our own opinions so please feel free to comment.

Religious extremism is a conduit for misery, not its fundamental cause.

The trouble with religious extremism or dictators is when it comes to politics both do not allow the give-and-take of parliamentary discourse. Nor do they protect minorities, allow a free press, create independent courts, universities, trade unions, and support woman emancipation.

Why Arab countries have so miserably failed their 350 million people is down to sharing of wealth.

Economic stagnation bred dissatisfaction, and unemployment, and electronic media allowed the young to see outside stirring up a revolution in attitudes that now cannot be un-invented.

We cannot now simply stamp out the Jihadist cause or impose prosperity and democracy.

We must appeal to the majority to make their voices heard to allow pluralism, education for all, and open markets to be re established, rather than being trapped either in stagnant repression or cycles of strife, that are interlinking.

No conflict since the Second World War has caused such widespread damage to the worlds cultural heritage, not to mention 300,000 dead.

The plantation of a Jewish state in Palestine drove a physical wedge between Arab countries and provided an excuse for the military dominance by Israel destabilizing the whole region.

There is no solution to this wedge other than one state for all.

However three-quarters of the world has suffered colonial rule and it should not now tolerate ISIS.

If necessary the free world( it will not be able to stand by like it did in Rwanda, or hide behind UN resolutions) must come to the aid of its fellow Arab Muslim citizens to stop any form of ethnic cleansing or Extermination.

In doing so we will uphold the sanctity of life, and the values of freedom, not democracy at the point of a gun.

It takes openness for societies to progress, to have closed minds and politics together is a recipe of disaster. War has many components, of which the battle is only one element.

Jihadists that declare an eventual global caliphate that knows no borders which is led by a former student theology and warlord that has given himself the title the successor to the PROPHET MUHAMMAD UNDERLINES THE SORROWFUL CONDITION INTO WHICH ARAB POLITICS HAS SUNK.

ALL I CAN SAY IS INSHALLAH TO US ALL.   History rarely sleep securely.
