Why Religions Eventually Fail

I’m not here to bash Religions, in fact I’m here to speak the truth.  How do I know this is the Truth?  It’s happened time and time again throughout History.  Every single major Empire has fallen, sooner or later.  Religions are not exempt from this and I’ll explain why.

The biggest problem with Religion today is well….the People.  The fact is, many people are divided among their belief system.  No two people will ever agree 100% of the time on their Holy Text as a whole.  Different parts of yet, yes, but not the entire thing.

There are Billions of people on this planet and that’s a staggering number.  Even if we only had half a million or even just one million people, you’d still have people arguing and disagreeing with each other.  Even the best of friends disagree with each other and only those that can set aside their differences truly have a strong friendship.

The Key to any Religions Success lies in Setting Aside your Differences.  Yet, at the same time people will argue within their own Church.  In fact, some will argue to the point of causing chaos in a sense.  Then there is always those Wolves in Sheep Skins that will Talk the Talk, but won’t Walk the Walk.

Here’s the even bigger problem.  Belief systems, only really cater to a few.  Don’t believe me?  Take one good look at Governments.  They always cater to the Rich don’t they?  Making it harder and harder every day for you to become better off.  Inflation doesn’t help either.

The growth in a Church is what I consider the Inflation of the Church.  It rises to the point where there are too many and then people split into various different branches.  It always happens.  Let’s look at Christianity as an example.  Look at how many branches there are?  Catholic, Prodistant, Mormon, Baptist, Methodist, etc, etc.  Each one of those formed based on a disagreement.  If this continues, there is likely to be millions of smaller branches.

I myself am a firm believer in a system that allows people to learn on their own.  At a pace that is relevant to them.  These people will seek out the knowledge that they need at the right moments.  Many people already believe that there is a Higher Power or a God/Goddess out there.  I for one do believe this.  There has to be something much more powerful than I, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

However, I won’t follow a Doctrine that brainwashes into believing something you’re not entirely sure about to begin with.  Yes, I did say Brainwash.  Don’t believe me?  They tell the same story over and over every single year.  The same story around Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc, etc.  They’re trying to brainwash people so they’ll stay in the Church.

Another reason why Religions Will Eventually Fail.  The Youth.  If you Force someone to go to Church and make the think they Believe the same that you do, they’ll hate you for it.  In fact, they’ll strike out on their own paths searching for something else.  And Churches wonder why their Youth are Rebellious.

Let’s take a look at a metaphor.  Sense Holy Text are so filled with them.  If you take a look at a gutter pipe that comes down from your Gutter.  Let’s say it has no Gutter Pipe.

Now, let’s say that rain gutter is causing a good sized hole in the ground because of the water dropping out of it.  If you take 2-3 people, they should be able to fix it without a problem.  For example, the solution would be to add a pipe to it so the water can drain.

However, the problem lies with adding more people to the issue.  If you had 10 people trying to fix one problem, then they might not agree with each other.  They might agree with what the initial problem is, but they might not agree with the proper pipe for example to fix the problem.  Some might even go as far as suggesting putting a Barrel underneath to catch the rain.  See the problem here?

And this is why every empire must fall.  Ever heard that quote?  Empire get too large, and then they get out of control, and then they fall.  These are all facts that have happened throughout History.  You may not like these facts, but go check your History Books.  The Roman Empire fell because it was too great.  The Alexandrian Empire eventually fell.  Hitler got too big for his control and look what happened to him.

This is even happening today with Greece.  Greece is falling and falling hard.  Why?  Because too many people work for the Government and there aren’t enough people to support it.  The same will eventually happen to all great Religions of Today’s time.  Well, that’s enough of my rant for the day.  I hope that you have a wonderful day and week ahead.

The Fallacy of Adobe Flash

You know what the biggest problem is with websites?  Many of them actually use a poorly designed video software.  Adobe Flash is the common standard for many websites to operate on.  However, there is one slight problem that they haven’t seem to fixed yet.

The biggest problem with Adobe Flash is that it’s resource heavy.  I’m not talking about Video Graphics Cards here, I’m talking about Processor or CPU.  In fact, I myself have issues with playing videos on Youtube and other Various Websites that use Flash, because it uses a lot of my CPU.  In fact, some sites use as much as 70% – 90% of my CPU.  We can’t have that.

Why is this an issue?  Simple, Video is meant to be processed by the Video Graphics Card.  That’s the whole reason that card was designed for.  The CPU was meant to process actions, such as when you click on play, the video is supposed to start.  But for some reason, the makers of Flash, apparently can’t figure out how to make your Video Graphics Card process the video instead of the Process.

Yeah, I know I’m rambling here, but really there is no excuse for Adobe.  They have a Team of Developers at their disposal.  Instead of trying to create new products all the time, fix the one that is the Standard.  Anyone with their head on straight, could take a small team of Developers and make a much better Flash version than what Adobe has come up with.

I’ve also experienced this issue with Google Plus.  Have you ever joined a Hang Out on Google Plus and checked your CPU usage?  A lot of times, my CPU usage is very high.  In the 60%-70% range.  A friend of mine and I were using Google Plus Hang Outs to record Podcast with.  However, we had to switch to a different platform for that very reason.

However, while Google Plus does use their own platform, there is no excuse from them either.  Seriously, if you’re going to make a product, do it right.  Especially if it’s a Software program.  It’s almost as though they rush these things out or something.  Oh well, there’s my rant for the day.

Small Apartment Gets Flashy

I know what you’re thinking about the title, but it’s not what you think.  Ok, maybe a little.  This apartment is relatively small, but thanks to a great designer it now looks fantastic.  I don’t even mind the Purple color matching.  Be sure to check this out for some design ideas of your own.

Zero Project – Psychodrama – MP3 of the Day

If you’re looking for something that is pretty cool and Psychedelic at the same time.  You might want to check out this track.  Has a bit of Heavy Metal mix to it, but I really enjoyed this.  Might actually use this in some of my future videos.

Colorful Painting You Can Admire – Image of the Day

Do you enjoy art?  More specifically paintings?  Certain paintings do grab my attention.  Those that do have to be fairly realistic and/or full of vibrant colors.  Maybe I’m just picky when it comes to paintings, but this one really stuck out to me.

It’s easy to see the vibrant colors in this and it makes my eyes wonder from side to side admiring the detail.  The setting is also picturesque.  The purples, blues, greens, and reds all joined together in a colorful fashion.  The waves crashing on the shore and a little cottage to come home to.  Sounds heavenly to me.

Poems of Prosperity

Poems of Prosperity

Fluttering through life like a Butterfly
Only to realize that it’s all a lie
Only this time, I’ve been brain washed
Like a coin that’s been tossed and tossed
Flipped around, never knowing which side you’ll land
Slowly learning that life could be grand
Good things always grow steady
Yet I wonder why I can’t have it already
To prosper, one must learn patience
Only then will you have essence
To live life like you want to
Instead of living in someone else’s shoe
So live life the way you should
Instead of making excuse like I could

Randomization In Minecraft – Video of the Day

You’d think that Randomization in Minecraft would be a common sense thing.  Yet many people don’t seem to get the idea or don’t think of it.  I’ll admit, I was one of those for a very long time.

However, I think it’s about time that I started using this strategy a little bit.  Might make for some interesting builds.  I also think that I should start challenging myself and start looking for other projects to build.  Increase my creative side a bit.  Let me know what you think.

Let It In by Josh Woodward – MP3 of the Day

If you haven’t started listening to Josh Woodward, now’s a good time to do that.  With a cool beat that just gets better, you can’t go wrong.  I guess in a way, this is niche music, but I highly recommend it.

Piano and According mixed with a nice Drum beat, you can’t go wrong.  Oh, and There’s something that lives inside of me.  Just kidding.  Ok, maybe a thing or two.  lol

Dragonflies Are Awesome – Image of the Day

I’m a big fan of Dragonflies.  Seriously though, who isn’t?  Always used to watch them dance around the air when I was little.  Such an amazing site to see them on the prowl for other insects.

I think what draws me to them the most is the sheer beauty they have.  Those reflective scales and a magnificent color range make them worth looking at.  You can’t help but notice a Dragonfly when it flies around.  What do you think?  Are you a fan of Dragonflies?

Greedy Beggars – Poem

This poem is about the world leaders who are nothing more than Greedy Beggars, hence the title.  I hope you enjoy this poem, because this is one poem that I couldn’t help but write.  When a writers mind starts, it flows until time to quit.  Let me know what you think?

Greedy Beggars

The world is set in motion
Like the tides of the Ocean
It’s never enough to just be
That which is little ol’ me
Searching for the next best thing
Only because they want to be king
Plotting and making their own set of rules
While everyone else is treated like tools
Blindness will be their own down fall
And the world will be left for us all
