RELIGION Why I'm STILL ANCIENT GREEK AFTER A MONTH of 2500 SUMMERS
My belief about religion is like the saint of TV (these days he's seems to be sort of the saint who ain't). When the box was good I would watch it, and I would if the shows return to health. While my big box has big booming amps my neighbors could hear, if this and the price were improved, and so on, I may watch more reruns on the FM. It's much cheaper to record radio shows and listen via the remote control, and it has jog and rerun and I have a real tan when the AM FM is outside and so am I! TV seems ill these days, like the college of annoying announcers, or it's alright where all the ads all month say, "Similar To As If Seen On Radio" and I've found my own is often better than stuff on the radio (click here for My Comedy Machine. and More About Comics II). I haven't watched TV since 1995, I've saved a fortune. Goodness is like a stain glass Television cathedral light not so visible in the light of the AM. Its true beauty is most brilliant when it's in the PM. If necessary, my light shines from within. A good recorder is of worth too. So I've found my own light without the luxury of ancient greek religion, which most people in evolution had to live without. If religion like TV was what I think is more moral like the ancient Greeks, I would value it. All the popes were conservative so I don't think of Christianity as if good more than bad, without lots more edits than the greek religion, at any rate. Too much of anything is not good, so I don't believe in one god. A great ancient motto was, nothing in excess, and after they believed in this about religion the dark ages followed. So I think of Jesus as a minor prophet, a great person perhaps but no more than this.
Carl Sagan believed that the decline of the ancient world was about the god hypothesis, that somehow the fall of Greece and Rome was about religion. But the ancient world was rising when they believed in many gods and the decline of Rome was after they started believing in one god. So I think the "god hypothesis" wasn't the cause of the fall of Rome. When more gods were believed in, not just one, the ancient world was at it's best. Like Sagan I think that while ancient greeks religion was good, science is better.
My belief is the decline of the ancient and the modern world were both caused by overpopulation with increased Demand with the reduced Supply that any major change in the density of number of persons/unit land would have. Click Here for more. (Another solution may be soap operas. They used soaps in Mexico to slow the rate.). That it was the "god hypothesis" seems like when some say all the world's problems are about most people choosing sin, Sagan seems to have thought it was about volition, he thought if we just stop choosing religion all would be well, or this would seem to be a related motif. But science shows religion like prayer has been found to aid survival. If chosing sin or religion was so and there were large errors like of most of the ancient world, anyone may choose sin anytime, so why were they ill just in the late ancient world and not the golden age of ancient greece or the 17th century? The ancient greeks with low overpopulation with civilization not yet with too much advantage over evolution did well, and the golden age in the 1700's after the plague was when our numbers were low, this would be why these were believed by more historians to be ages of the glory of civilization.
Sagan was a brilliant person and he did science well with Cosmos and other promotions, but he wasn't so original he was like Einstein. I think it's too bad here because if he had the intuition to realize this was what may have been the cause of the decline of the ancient world, he could have used his great power of PR to convince the world to lower the crowding level in the 1980's when he wrote Cosmos and we would be in a better world by now.
It's been said that in the history of civilizations the early times are with the beliefs in gods and goddesses, while later on when science advances and there is more proof of what's going on, the belief in gods and goddesses to explain what's going on is reduced. I think this is not due to any inherent power of higher religion being without worth or inferior to science, it would actually be because civilizations have proceeded in general from health to illness with more overcrowding.
I've lived without the advantage of ancient greek religion all my life, I've lived without TV too. If I draw my paintings or play a tune am I worshipping the god of paint and music? (Here are some of my paintings, I'll put more up eventually, I have about 200 of them.) I believe there's no absolute distinction between religious motifs and life, or between life and the world. They find in the science of life, there is no sharp line between life and nonlife, machines can do all life can including think, and now machines like printers can even make copies of themselves. While Sagan was an atheist, he was respectful of the goodness of the world and feared no evil or he would have been out repairing windshields at 87 mph and not been a real hero of science. In Cosmos Carl Sagan names Cosmos after Plato's word Cosmos (opposite of the random) and has a golden chapter about the glory of the ancient greeks. He believed in the gods more than he knows, the greeks with religion and not yet with science were good and great. Sagan said, "gravity is the source of all there is, but it doesn't make much sense to worship gravity, so we don't." The idea of many gods and goddesses seems much like in thermodynamics where it branches off to many weighted values of 99% of the information we're made of. This is common, and reflects the general form almost all there is we feel around us with our senses, so it's not suprising the greeks thought of it. It's the same motif of a pantheon of goddesses and gods, some of more worth than others. The gods and goddesses of the ancient greeks would have all the more advanced genius of evolution built in and science was higher yet, but we still need the foundation. Why a raft up the river when you could take the helicopter, because it's exercise and helps you win the marathon! In thought as in exercise, if you are below a certain level, you may lose your ability to exercise, and this may make more illness, like when cardio health is reduced. If I don't worship gravity I'll find life to worship. Meaning in life is exercise or it would be dumber, if a hero in the arena makes 200,000 an hour, shouldn't you or I be paid much more for typing an I love you memo to our teacher, there are no dumb teachers! Even with the highest science we should all have sounds or zooms, like a house where you build high while you don't let the more basic foundation crumble. These two termites saw the house burning, and one says to the other, "Regular or With Bromo Fizz ?"
They say your brain has no distinction between an event and the idea of the event, the brain waves are much the same when you think of a sound and when you actually hear a song. Brain health was important to survival in evolution, when the events around us were in motion it would be as if they were alive since the foundation of life is just the idea of "say me" or "copy me". If events around us don't want us to copy their motifs, it's as if they do. "He not busy being born is busy dying". So all the events around us are important and the cyber explanation of the world says that all there is just information. If life is made of knowledge, understanding is (often) life, and this would be the source of the ancients belief in the highest information, living information, gods and goddesses! I think Carl Sagan was wrong about the gods and goddesses (at least in general) and about the decline of the ancient world.
If religion at it's optimost is a glorified sort of painting or a comic or a song like the greeks and creative exercise is the foundation of much of our life (without skill, who are we) religion may be the foundation of science, not always it's antithesis. Good religion at its best would reinforce science and great science would reinforce great religion. A good reason I believe in a life of religion if for no other is, it's what good people do. And if the ancient greeks believed it much that's a good reason also considering how welI they did. (When this many bright people think it's true even if "disproven" it's often of worth more than it might seem. See my HEALTH & EVOLUTION site for more about the power of common knowledge.) There is proof that just thinking about changes in your body has as much as 700% influence on your body, even down to the molecular level of your immune boost. Science doesn't have the whooping up hour of the greater religion. To make your brain actually grow they say to try something unusual like religion using your left hand instead of right or reading in rewind mode, science seems to often have too much how and not enough deeper general meaning. About science I'm a materialist, but not about religion.
Normal hour help me see what a heroine you are, Normal you, you're like none who's ever been or will be. I think being strong and good is an advantage of evolution, since it may make it where the believer would survive when they wouldn't otherwise. If Venus and Athena show up at my door, I'm ready with a giant Welcome RugHug. If not, meanwhile I'll listen to the sound of real VHS AM/FM and write and play and invent and boost science. I'm thinking only of the best, labor only for the best and will expect only the best. I listen to religious radio once in a while and leave in and edify and boost what motifs I think are moral, and resist the bad or accept the rest in moderation.
My belief about religion is like the saint of TV (these days he's seems to be sort of the saint who ain't). When the box was good I would watch it, and I would if the shows return to health.
