Atheism and religious faith

.

In the last century, the social conditions of many populations have risen enormously, allowing them a general wellness that was unthinkable just a short time ago.  A prosperity owed principally to scientific and technical evolution that these countries have pursued. Unfortunately, only a part of humanity can benefit from the necessary resources, and until these conditions are achievable, the majority of mankind lives in poverty and has scarce possibility of a free and gratifying life.

.

The reason for this situation is owed to the fact that the limits that are imposed on that which represents the concept of human existence is still associated with the convictions that derive from a past that doesn’t exist anymore, a past that is upheld and defended by institutions that don’t show any goodwill to rise to a higher level of civilization.  While science demonstrates to have obtained extraordinary results in its development, the existential and spiritual meaning of life still remains tied to the convictions that have been expressed for centuries in which scientific knowledge was practically inexistent. Today it is possible to access a new vision of existence, a vision that cannot and must not be missing in the cultural baggage of every rational being since it will be the prevalent strategy of life for future generations.  This affirmation isn’t deduced by confidence in man’s reasonableness, which it is better not to count on too much, but by the enormous advantages attainable by every person from his understanding.  

.

Humanity has always linked the meaning of its own existence on two unique existential directions:

 atheism and religious faith. 

 .

Social political religious powers, in establishing community order, have imposed on the population the adherence to only these two different alternatives which are universally accepted without having minimally examined their effective strategic usefulness at a social level.

.

In spite of the fact that many countries have obtained an elevated standard of living, every type of iniquity and abuse are perpetrated in the world.  Prevarication and despotism seem to be part of an unchangeable and pre-established human way of living, where 

.

rhetoric and hypocrisy 

.

seem to be allied in indicating to the world how it is more convenient and fair to live. Absurd defenses of a society that interprets a false and deceptive way of thinking and tends to hide that fair world that all of us know must exist somewhere.

.

For the atheist, the meaning of life is circumscribed by himself in his own individuality; accordingly, his spirit has no future, everything begins with birth and ends with death.  The evolutionary process of life isn’t given any importance, relegating the knowledge of existence to the role of a purely casual event.  The atheist doesn’t consider that man is one result of a very long process of mutations that have elevated from the simple primordial lives to develop the capacity to reason things.  An evolutionary process capable of placing human thought above instinctive characteristics that are typical of our animal predecessors.

.

To consider oneself atheist means:

.

to consider life in terms of pure egoistic convenience. 

.

There being no future after death, the atheist is only interested in the well-being obtainable in this life without evaluating the damages caused to the future society. Whereby it often happens that he pursues his own advantage at any cost, imposing an egoistic and superficial lifestyle.  An existence without any interior morality.  Man’s intelligence is put at the service of the prevaricator instinct, inborn in every individual, that pushes everyone to chase after his own sensorial well-being by the exploitation of his own peers: such is the prevalent direction of those societies that are considered “evolved.”  A strategic directive that does not, however, recognize in the system the enormous and evident advantages consequential to everyone from the global social evolution.  People forget that if it were not for the services rendered by collectivity, the world would have not had any evolution, and “humans” would not know how to read or write.  Indeed, it is also possible that true atheists probably don’t exist because all of them are able to instinctively perceive how extraordinary the opportunity of life is. Evidently it is only the lack of possible alternatives to religious faith that make them declare this.

.

Instead, those that have the “gift” of faith are sure of themselves to possess the only possible real truth.  They are so convinced of their suppositions that they discard  beforehand all others, without taking account of the fact that their presumptions are fundamentally imaginary: 

pure partial hypotheses, indemonstrable by any reasonable analysis.

.

United by the same intolerance towards those that think differently, there is no way to make them use reason because they are convinced that, as Pascal asserted:  

.

" If reason could explain faith, than it would not be faith ". 

.

For them, all the other human beings, including those that use intelligence to understand God’s plans, are either ignorant, stupid or in bad faith.  A true 

.

religious racism, 

.

where it is not the color of the skin that manifests the presumed spiritual supremacy, but that of the ideological meaning, which becomes the instrument of division, resentment, and often of authentic hatred. The believers refuse to accept that we all live in a universe guided by physical laws that are impossible to change. Laws that, also admitting the existence of God as an act of faith, must incontestably derive from his indisputable will.  

.

It should be obvious to everyone that: trying to understand the physics laws that determine world events means in reality trying to understand the explicit orders emanated by God himself.  

.

Confronted with this evident, incontestable, incontrovertible truth, we observe instead how faith is invariably inclined to formulate suppositions often in manifest contradiction with rational scientific results.  Suppositions apt to satisfy the presumptions of those that want to impose the power of their own convictions on those laws that instead have surely been written by the God in which they claim to believe.  A spiritual orientation that, contrary to what we are made to believe, is not manifestation of the Divine will but constitutes an act of unparalleled ignorance, 

.

a heresy perpetrated towards the unquestionable dispositions emitted by that same God in which they claim to believe.  

.

A hostile attitude inclined to refuse what emerges from rationality because this is not in compliance with the archaic expectations 

.

of those who judge the use of reason as a "negligible" event. 

.

.

These are briefly the two existential directions offered by today’s culture. There is only to choose between the frying pan and the fire, knowing that whatever it is, it will be a simple "imaginary hypothesis"  without any support in the laws of the real world.  

To conceive man’s existence as something destined to stop at this stage of knowledge means to impose limits on the intelligence that only a limited and supposing culture is capable of producing.  It means to think that human existence is destined principally to satisfy the prevaricator instincts of those who are incapable of using the most precious gift in the universe to understand his existential status.  A gift without which man is only a victim, because he is prey to those instincts that characterize the animals from which mankind descends. 

.

It is paradoxical that religious institutions, instead of favoring scientific research show extreme distrust and aversion towards it, since it is the only way to understand God’s true designs. At what level the world would be today if the religious would have all diffused, as a first directive,

.

 the study of scientific laws because they are laws originated by God?

.

It is easy to imagine how much ignorance, pain and suffering humanity would have saved itself.
