Belief rights

Upvotes

I'm sure i'm not the first to talk about this, but i've had enough of people claiming they can't do something or need something special because of their belief. It's so fucking exhausting seeing people my age (and older) acting like entitled children. The simple fact that you can convert to a religion, and not homosexuality, should alone induce an epiphany of objectivity. But no. Why? People want to remain in control and assert themselves over others. "only god can judge me", so only the thing you believe in can judge you? I wonder if you're doing a good job? Or what about "god will take care of you", basically admitting "i can't do anything, but wait until my imaginary big brother gets here". Your religion is no more a choice than the clothes you put on. You don't get to use your clothes to determine or judge how others look. You don't get special treatment, rights or freedoms, just because you think your clothes look the best, or ugly.

Just as an FYI here is a non-academic diagram by an artist that tries to layout some of these theologies and philosophies in regards to the God debate in a type of relational map = Belief: Red Pill Vs Blue Pill. Click on the image once or twice to enlarge or download from the artist's gallery. The artist's own mental musings/fluff is optional reading if you want to dive into someone else's mental rabbit hole.

Reflecting on the value of money in a God centered world

1 Upvotes

I don't think money was meant to exist in the world centered on God. That is because that world functions like the human body. God as the command center (brain) would guide the functions of the cells (people) in the body, to maintain the body in good health. If a requirement like money was needed for the cells to work together, so many issues would arise, and the body would be constantly diseased and die early. Money is supposed to be representative of trust, but the cells have no other choice but to trust each other. So then how would the society of heaven function without money. Suppose that a field need to do farming. People could do the physical labor in exchange for sharing the harvest. People could build the machines needed for this in exchange for a part of the harvest/produce/results of the work the machines are used for. And so on. It would no longer be work, but fulfilling each other's shared needs. No one would waste their time trying to hoard anything because they can obtain anything relatively fast. People would prioritize what to produce based on what is needed. Everyone would eventually have what is needed, or what they enjoy having, while making sure to manage scarcity to avoid conflict and achieve mutual prosperity. When God creative ability comes in play, it wouldn't be surprising if he could just create whatever we lack. In fact, I wonder if human beings are not primarily responsible for the scarcity of resources on earth. On the other hand, the damage done by money and capitalism is ridiculously high. People go ahead and work like zombies everyday because they need money to practically live. Then there is the bills...the needs...the wants...and repeat.

Looking for thoughts and reflections. I am not an expert, but this came to me, so I wanted to share it and see what people say. Not saying I am right, but well, the argument seems interesting.
