Can you provide a more general definition of what is 'natural', one that is not limited to (pro)creation?
And what makes something that is 'unnatural' bad or wrong? Is artificial insemination bad or wrong or something to be avoided in your worldview (on account of it being unnatural)? Is homosexual sexual relations between two men 'unnatural' and if so, is it bad or wrong in your eyes? What about between two women?
I'm happy to debate my religion (including the possibility that the Qur'an might be man-made). I won't get offended, don't worry.
As I stated because something is 'unnatural' has no bearing on its quality. Unnatural things can be very good, others can be not good.
I would define 'natural' as any product being derived by a natural process(es) of which is in some capacity by its its host. For example 'earth' is a host. Before there was "life" there were natural processes (governed by the many known laws of thermodynamics, chemistry, physics etc.) which gave rise to a hotting/cooling planet which eventually became of water. This new 'host' gives rise to green land formations; vegetation etc. all following a 'natural' process.
All of this is in the first chapters of Genesis btw - not to say "therefor God" as once again I always have to repeat for the snowflakes (the ones who think they are special/unique not realizing they are just as special/unique as every other snowflake that ever existed and will exist) I am not saying the book of Genesis is an authority - but just understand that approx. ~3.5 billion people or so "believe" Genesis came from god. So if 3.5 billion people were *all* going to agree on one thing (that Genesis came from *their* god - even though there are three different religions...?) the book states these processes very clearly. In fact, not only does it describe these processes, it even talks about "human" processes that relate to psychology. The problem is: how accurate are they to the real world? One has to test them - that is what 'conscience' does - asks questions, seek answers.
Hello conscience, meet "belief".
<conscience dies>
If you "believe" something, it means you are not challenging (questioning) its validity - you are merely operating under an assumption as if it is true. What are the implications of this?
What if the Torah/Bible/Qur'an is/are *not* the perfect word(s) of any god (which I argue is *true*) whilst billions of people "believe" they are? What if "believing" human beings are themselves projecting (psychological projection) and/or imbuing (effectively: treating) these books with an authority they don't actually have? That is exactly what is happening - unfortunately.
This is why "belief" is not a virtue - and I don't even regard "belief" as 'natural' - I regard it unnatural, because it distorts rather than illuminates. There is no real substance in "belief" except it defines the contents of one who possesses it. A "believing" Muslim is no closer to god than a "believing" Adolph Hitler who thought he was doing god's work (which he expressly stated he was, by the way). Is Adolph Hitler 'natural'?
For example the *entire* Hebrew mythology is one string of successive landmarks that one achieves as they learn certain fundamental axiomatic truths about the ways of life. That is the whole thing Jesus ("Christians" who "believe" Jesus was GOD and "Muslims" who "believe" he was a prophet - both mostly hypocrites) that Christ *is* the truth of the way of life. Christ is not a person - it is the same as meshiach in Judaism: the redeemer. When one learns/understands and derives wisdom, the wisdom serves the same "function" as Christ.
See by 'natural' in terms of human psychology, one is naturally ignorant. This is the state of chaos; without form. It is the darkness that is on the face of the abyss and (given we were all born out of the water/womb of our mothers) the "spirit of god" moves there and calls for light. What is light? I spent over a year on it - it is everything. There is not a thing that is not derivative of light. It is the basis of creation even before matter: light has non-physical properties, such as it illuminates. Can ones inner being (does a[n inner] being *really* occupy and space at all?) etc. This moving from darkness into light is as 'natural' as evening becoming morning - this is the first 'cycle' that everything is sustained on. The Genesis account is a structure: it has moving parts. I could draw a conception of it (it is not physical per se) if needed - the important thing to understand is 'light' is the basis of everything else. So everything that is a product of 'light' is natural.
Is "evil" 'natural'?
Is "rape" 'natural'?
And here is where it all breaks down for most: there are some who would say these are all not good / bad. But would/could they argue it is 'natural'? Suppose someone argues in favor: it is natural; perhaps undesired, but natural (it happens semi-frequently). Do you know where this eventually leads? People justifying rape. Essentially what most people claim is 'natural' is removing/nullifying and/all "moral" considerations regarding such an act. This is exactly what has happened in Islam and one of the reasons the *woman* is shamed/blamed (from/by men) when raped. Not the fault of the man that actually raped her due to his own iniquities - but of the woman. Why is this backwards?
Genesis describes this as Adam blaming the woman for eating the fruits as she gave them to him. In other words: it is because the woman tempted the man sexually by her looks that the man acted, therefor the woman is at fault. See it in Islam? That is *the* fall of man: man blames woman for his own iniquity. I am giving you people the answer - men blaming/shaming women. Look at Justin Trudeau in Canada - why is he silencing women / blocking them from speaking against him? Where did he learn that kind of behavior from? Who are his handlers? All Islamic.
And the Jews/Christians/Muslims "beeellieevveeeee" Genesis is from their god, so in their own book it says: man blames woman for his own iniquity and messes everything up. Do you think Muslims understand this? What are they to do with the women in/of Islam - enslave them to themselves? How did the prophet of Islam treat women? How many wives did he have? How did they describe Muhammad (does anyone ever read the accounts from his wives? Some of them regretted marrying him and called him insane)? What did A'isha say of Muslim women? To the effect of: "I have never seen a more suffering woman than a Muslim woman." If it was true then, is it true now? Is this 'natural'?
And people are still brain-dead as to the problem: the "health" of the woman (isha - the mother of all the living you bible readers who *do* treat the bible as an authority,even if I do not) is directly tied/proportional to the health of the planet "mother earth". Therefor the planet is a reflection of Her (encompassing the collective Feminine) and the light of the sun is the light through Christ, which is *NOT* a person (Jesus is an idol, as is Muhammad: both "mercy upon mankind" idols serving as "beds" collected as per Revelation - this is why literacy is important). I know that sounds woo - but it is simple. 'Nature' is simple, simple, as simple as can be - two poles, one form (torus). Hence: Torah/Taroh. The Torah is basically a book about the 'nature' of torus fields (including people).
So the whole Bible describes the 25 920 year cycle as a circle including its twelve epochs. It is like a calendar, but in writing/story form. The processes of creation are therein (not intact /heavily modified/redacted, the same is true for the Qur'an) and condensed histories are given with fundamental axioms serving as the twelve epochs. Each epoch is centered around an axiom - this was the "religion" of ancient Egypt where Akhunatun/Moses came from. The 10 commandments are an abridged 42 Ma'at laws that every initiate had to sincerely testify after death that they did not do. The whole life process was a preparation for this event. Is this 'natural'?
And Akhunatun made his wife his equal with equal authority - stating there is only one god which comes through the rays/light of the sun, and it can only be attained from within (not without). This is why Akhunatun (Moses) banned all other forms of worship much to the disappointment (as you can imagine) of the various deities. This entire *thing* was recapitulated in Arabia with the whole Islam/Muhammad "thing" - I kind of have a suspicion that Muhammad is essentially a combination of Moses (same life story of getting kicked out and coming back to take control) and Jesus "mercy upon mankind". Still an idol - the historical Muhammad was trained in the Vatican. Again this was confirmed by Benjamin Fulford according to two of his sources - one the Catholic Encyclopedia, the other the P2 Masons.
The reason I mention all of this is because this is all connected - it is stupid to think of *past* vs. *now* because the past is a *part* of now (as with the example above: all things come from light and begin/end at a point), and the future is determined by what one would *choose* according to what he/she is faced with.
Interestingly, the numerical values for 'nature' and GOD (Elohim) are identical: the latter being a bestower/receiver structure (relationship) "acting" as one. This is why GOD is 'necessarily' a coming together of two to make one. This ties back into why I proposed the most fundamental structure to be of bestowal/reception via will. So nature involves this: when the will is shared they become co-creators "like Elohim: knowing good and evil" because they are uniting two polarities. If equilibrium = longer life (this is referred to as the elixir of lasting life in esotericism); if unbalanced = destruction. This is the measure of "sin" and why man (not woman, man) must pay the penalty (crucifixion) for his own sins, because he *is* always the culprit when the problem is reduced back: man blames woman for his own iniquity. This is how 'natural' justice occurs: men must pay for his own sin against the woman. Eve gets her own punishment for eating the fruits (pain associated /w bleeding - ongoing until menopause) and Adam has to till the soil with sweat. It is an archetypal "setting" that describes 'nature' from its most discernible primitive roots. This is how the Hebrew scriptures are written: and Genesis 1:1 is essentially a blueprint of a torus field or seed-in-itself structure which is the basis of all things living, including the structure of the human body itself.
