BEFORE WE SPEAK ABOUT RELIGION
we must read Aristotelis work about nature and art (ΦΥΣΙΣ & ΤΕΧΝΗ)
in Β' ΤΗΣ ΦΥΣΙΚΗΣ ΑΚΡΟΑΣΕΩΣ.
the philosopher make a good distinguish among natural and artificial 'life'
natural things are that have an inner autoexelixis, an inner automobility, an inner tend to walk a 'living; road.
artificial things are the one who must have an outer motive, an outer force to autoexelixis, automobility, to live.
so human is a natural creation,
but civilization (cities) is a law creation an artificial thing,
religion must enter to save natural characteristics of humans inside the artificial gathering in cities,
even in bible we see that with Abraam living outsde cities, and Lot inside cities.
but lets see modern religions,
Christianity. give us money to go to heaven, don't do that. don't do this.
puts guilty in others.
Islam? hmmm kill your fathers in law, and take a child for your wife (Aise), kill all non believers, do this, do that
creates superhumans equal to claim that are prophets, and fetwas,
Budism, don't eat, don't hurt, don't speak, don't
press human nature to reach divinity
Modern religions,
there are 2 modern religions
1) Consum that, buy that, you must have that, see that at TV
press human nature to extra consuming
2) Save that, must have money, where i can have profit, search the good deal,Save the bank, Stock exchange is a temple, Bank is a holy place,
mutates human nature to something unnatural.
what humanity suffers is the religion that support human to follow his 'natural way' and not the 'artificial way' of life,
WE MUST LIVE WITH THE INNER MOTIVE OF LIFE, AND NOT WITH THE ARTIFICIAL DREAM FOR LIFE,
the first who spoke that for me (at least there I started to realize) was ΠΑΡΜΕΝΙΔΗΣ in ΟΝΤΟΛΟΓΙΑ,
there he says something about truth,
Later ΖΗΝΩΝ and ΧΡΥΣΙΠΠΟΣ explain that with NEMESIS and ΕΙΜΑΡΜΕΝΗ,
God (gods) are living things that created the world, and gave laws in order to avoid chaos and outside their creation was wonderfull,
So they took human form and try to expereience their creation (live in the world) but were traped, by their own laws, and could not escape back to their divine form, cause if they broke the laws they put, Nemesis awaits them,
so there they found Ειμαρμενη, the pational wait for death to be free, and go back to heavens (Olymp Valhala Paradise).
to expand more, the truth is tha modern humans do not live as natural objects, cause we live in an artificial world,
but do we need outer motivation to live? \
and there comes ΛΟΓΟΣ (Logic), even John the theologist student says that clear in his evangelium 1:1 and calls him GOD
εν αρχη ην ο λογος και ο λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ο λογος
in English the λογος is translated as the word, but loses its meaning, since word means ΛΕΞΙΣ which is the result of the action and not the motive of the action
I have λογος, Ι act (virb) Λεγω, the result is Λεξις (word)
Logic -> Speακ (think) ->word
Logic is to protect our inner motivation for life in the outer motives that supress us,
Now back to religion and paganism,
paganism is polytheistic, let us choose which 'logic'(god) we will follow, leave us the choice to follow according our will, according our hormones, according our desires,
THAT IS THE PRIVILEDGE OF SUCCES OF WESTERN WORLD
THE CHOICE OF HERCULES AMONG ΑΡΕΤΗ and KAKKIA (Virtue and corrupt)
But Pagan also teach us the Nemesis of our choice through theogony or the history of the god who teach us that path.
and we all wait Ειμαρμενη in all religions.
as we see before 2500 years, people had the same questions, but only ΛΟΓΟΣ and ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ (Logic and Truth) releases from the weight of Inner or outer motivations for life,
Besides just think,
what inner or outer motive keeps a human alive in NY and what in Sahara desert and what as Australian native.
the fear of God? the afterlife punishment or reward? the possesion of an iphone5?the possesion of a camel? the hope to find water spring? a woman? or a good wife? to be more sarcastic, the hope to do a massacre like that in Boston's marathon and go to heaven next to god?
before century Kazantzakis wrote about that when Christian high priest kick him out,
Δεν Ελπιζω τιποτα, δεν φοβαμαι τιποτα, ειμαι ελευθερος,
I hope nothing, I fear nothing, I am free.
meaning that following religion for the hope of after death life, or for the fear of punishment is slavery,
punsihment will come either we broke the balance of natural motivation for life in the artificial world, either the oposite, an extra religion or consuming zombie.
ty for reading and for chance to post that.
search for godess TRUTH
in western Europe that was expessed more as Dum spiro spero, although it is compatible
