2. But nature does not care about you. Nature has no compassion, it is indifferent to your needs and feelings.
3. Would you worship someone who is very beautiful, more intelligent and more powerful than you, but does not care about you? I wouldn't.
4. Lots of things that are actually fun! Creating artwork, writing, cooking delicious stuff, programming, dancing, playing video games, doing jigsaw puzzles, taking part in sports competitions... most of that we can only do because with science and technology, we have overpowered nature for at least a short time.
5. Nature has no rights, for no one.
6. a creature can't just die happily and peacefully (predator, parasites, outcast by tribe)
7. Nature seems to be pro...
Nature seems to be contra...
- Psychopathy
- Hierarchy
- Obedience
- Conformity
- Underdevelopment of the self (It wants to keep you enslaved)
8. Maybe nature exists so creatures learn the greatest lies out there: "If I am not useful, I am worthless and don't deserve love" and "Pleasing others is more important than my needs and feelings". It also seems to mind-control creatures, because I can assure you, if nature were a human government, humans would be outraged at its cruelty, indifference and evil and would rebel against it until it was overthrown.
- Unconditional love
- Questioning the system
- Introspection
- Authenticity
- Self-actualization
9. But because it is nature, it is idealized and worshiped, you must obey the instincts it put inside you and normally don't even get the idea of questioning them.
10. meaningless reproduction cycle
11. Maybe an evil spirit has created nature so that it can feed on the suffering of its creatures.... What a parasite! I will never worship such a thing / being.
12. How can you fight against nature (or the evil entity behind it)? Not by polluting the environment, that's only hurting us and countless other creatures on the planet. You can fight against it by doing what it seems to be against. That would mean:
- Loving yourself unconditionally and spreading unconditional love
- Thinking for yourself, questioning stuff
- Knowing yourself
- Being yourself, regardless if others approve or not
- Working on self-actualization
1. "Italiano" (dog): Mustn't defy the dogfather.
2. "Nature doesn't love you:" People need a parent to love them, so there are God's all over the world that are supposed to stop volcanoes from destroying, and cure diseases. Real?
3. "Worship someone beautiful, more intelligent, and more powerful?" Hey, leave my lover out of this. Seriously, would someone worship Satan because of power and intelligence? Maybe goodness is also important. If so, should we continually say that God is good though he allows Satan to exist and allows cruelty and stink in the world?
4. "Fun" (like Sodom's gambling?). Puritans believe that idle hands are the tools of the devil, and dance and art are sinful. Should we play video games while the homeless starve? There's work to do, so maybe we shouldn't just think about fun.
5. "nature has no rights." It does for 1,000 pound bears. They can sit anywhere they want. (The situation is unbearable).
6. "Die in misery." Animals must be wary of attack, and ultimately are eaten or die. The alternative to depredation is overpopulation leading to starvation (a slower death). This is why it is so hard to believe that God is loving. Was God loving as his son was tortured to death? Are we not all God's children?
7. Of all the pros and cons, perhaps questioning is the strongest taboo. Is it okay to question if God is really loving, as Christians constantly tout? Preventing questions is the mark of a tyrant.
8. Living to learn lessons: Maybe that is why we were put on earth? You learn the value of money by getting an allowance and budgeting for what you want. Perhaps we learn the value of love by struggling with limited love from God on earth (doesn't answer prayers). Denny Crane (Boston Legal TV show, a far right Republican) said that President W. Bush was a genius for not lifting a finger during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, while people were dying. Crane said that W. Bush, by doing nothing, taught us self-reliance. Could that account for the apathy of God and W. Bush? Do limited resources teach the necessity of sharing? Eskimos share....they have to in order to survive.
9. "obey instincts." Humans have instincts to breed, but we must not grab spouses against their will. Humans have an instinct to hunt, but we must not kill all those (animals and humans) around us. Humans have instincts to outperform others around us, but we must resist the urge to steal from them and harm them. Largely, we have to control our instincts and partially obey them. Men have instincts that they are not even aware of. They don't realize that they like breasts because large breasts could feed kids, they are attracted to them, but they don't know why and refuse to believe that they have the same instincts that they note in the animal world. Some women are attracted to brutal men, and they lead lives of battering, and watching their children getting abused. We have to allow our intellects to moderate our instincts, and we have to allow our instincts to moderate our intellects. If it wasn't for instincts, few would want to have poop machine babies keeping them up all night (not to mention pregnancy).
10. "meaningless procreation cycle" This is a problem pondered by the greatest minds in history. "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in its petty pace, til the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to a dusty death." We are not immortal, but our DNA is serially immortal (until it evolves into a different species). That is, our DNA is passed down to our progeny.
11. Evil parasite feeding on misery....would never worship. I agree. We can't worship the power of Satan without realizing that we support evil and pain. Nor can we support God if we realize that he allows evil. This is why the myth has been asserted that God is pure goodness.
12. To fight against the evil in the world....be good. It is a small ripple in the pool, but that ripple will reach distant ears, and create still more ripples.
