Developments, school, and Raëlism

I think I'll start out by saying Raelism is bullshit, just in case you were thinking I might believe it.

Anyway, my vacation is over today, and I've got to begin hustling again. I've only got less than two months left for school, so I really need to step it up. I bought a few books and might get a few more.

I've read about halfway through the God Delusion and have found it actually very enjoyable and insightful. Dawkins and Dennett are the two biggest influences of my philosophical thought. When I write for school, I'm passionate about my new thought. The advancement of science and rationality is of utmost importance. Religion is whack. People say that religion may make one happy, and that religion isn't the problem. But it is the problem. Religion basically desires that you 'submit' to their thinking and way of life, without question. I desire questioning everything, because it's right. If you want to believe in god, then become a deist. Not a Muslim, Christian, or what have you. Reason leads to rationality. Religions do not incorporate reason into their beliefs; that makes all religions irrational and scornful. I don't see religious (w0)men reasoning with logic or science the ascent of Jesus, because you'd have to take it on faith. If you're going to believe in a God, don't believe in religion. Anybody with a pen and paper can make themselves holy or rich, as long as the writing is good enough. God without religion is much more acceptable and rational than with a religion, if anybody so wishes to believe in Him.

I'm worked up. Switching gears we go to Raelism. I only wanted to comment some things I find interesting about it, in a disdainful manner. They don't believe in evolution, but they believe that life does not appear by chance, so there is no God, but Aliens somehow managed to put life on this silly planet of ours. Remarkably duplicitous, and if you didn't say 'wtf?' when you read that you didn't see what's wrong with their ideas. If life didn't evolve on earth, and that it doesn't appear by chance or evolution, then how in the hell did aliens come about? Were they so intelligent as to create themselves? You know, it's un-fuckin-believable what some pseudo-philosophies teach and this one really enlarged my supposed beliefs on the limits of the stupidity of humanity. I really hope I got something mixed up or wrong about their beliefs, because it is absolutely duplicitous and idiotic.

Check out my favorite religion, Islam, to give you a good enough reason to abolish religion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6R6GBZs6z8
People will say, well you can't use a select few to represent the whole of Islam. But in that, my point is, religion leads to irrationality/superstition and things like terrorism. They preach hate, not reason. Religion does not advocate reason, so many branches of irrational beliefs come out and do the damage the world knows so well. I've got so much floating in my mind but I can't get it out, although I believe I've said enough.

Reason and rationalism is the future. Incite insight.
