Separated Minds

You have to realize, that is, if you have a truly independent and intellectual mind - that today's highly criss-crossed world of 'information' and 'thoughts' contains the danger of mass-scale error and fatal mistakes taken into some form of action.

But by 'truly independent' I mean able to think away from the apparent consensus and the common cant.

When a popular entertainment - say like a movie - appears and takes a firm hold of people's beliefs and outlook, then it becomes next to impossible to shake the 'truth' that the common man thinks he now 'has' on account of this latest 'thing' which gave him his newest latest unshakable confidence...

The assumption that is all too easily made these days - and you hear it in many quarters - is that information is everywhere and widely available and easily accessible and virtually everything (factually knowable) is 'out in the open' if you search enough.

Here is a very short list of things that everyone is convinced are 'facts:'

• There are no independent records of the existence of Jesus Christ
• There are no actual 'originals' of the Gospels
• Most Western religions are based on pagan season traditions, and astrology
• Zeitgeist, the movie, is a relatively modern, new, work
• Atheism means not having a belief in god, or not believing there is a god, or is a scientific, practical perspective that uses proof and evidence to come to a 'knowledge.'
• Christmas as it is practiced now, is based on a pagan festival
• the young boy who died with his face downwards in the sand, was fleeing to Europe

However none of these things are true.

The word that people ought to be using when they say 'atheist' is 'opo-theist.' Which is also, not the same as 'apotheos!'

What people mean is that they are OPPOSED to religion and to 'god' or the need for a god.

'A-theist' is similar in construction to a word such as 'a-moral...' If you see what I mean.

To be an atheist is a political thing these days, and so what people should say is that they are 'opotheist.' In other words, politically opposed to religion and to god. Not that they 'don't know whether there is a god,' or that they have proven that there isn't one. That would be: 'agnostic,' and 'protonihignotheist.'

The young boy who died on the beach was turned away by Talal Al Waleed from seeking refuge in Saudi Arabia and received no money or support from Al Waleed - but Al Waleed spent several billion dollars taking large stakes in the media companies who took the picture and spread it around, and, he spends billions of dollars establishing foundations and research grants at Harvard and other Universities where people like Reza Azlan get their degrees. I don't care whether there is or isn't proof of the existence of 'Jesus.' I don't like Reza Azlan trying to tell me.

If you see what I mean.

I will say this: never one single time, have I ever floated a story, or canvassed one, here, without facts and proof to back everything I said up. Not one single time. Ever.
