You think it's been all flowers and unity 10, 100, 1000 or 10000 years ago? Hate to break it to you, but the world has always been fucked up. And only scum needs to believe in divine sanctions to behave adequately.im sory sir or madam BUT your not breaking anything to me...of course killing and raping and other malicious acts have been committed since the world creation BUT only now is it as widesperad..T.V...Music..in print..all over the place...our technological advances are somewhat the catalyst of this sick TREND....its human nature to kill,murder (yes they are two different meaning) rape(in all of its context) and to be abusive...any higher authority can guide you through the narrow path to enlightenment..people need something bigger than themselves and this world to look up to..weather god exists or NOt

I reckon mindless devotion is blasphemy, Jesus and Buddha never said just do whatever I say because im a higher authority, nah they all said something to the same effect as 'follow no man, haver your own plan, expand your mind'.
I think reason, personal morales and enlightenment are things that need to be cultivated, you can't just pray and light your candles and expect an angel of illumination to appear in a puff of radiant white light and bestow upon you clear thinking and righteous thought, fuck no...its an everyday job muthafuckers.

Wouldn't it then be wise to follow them regardless, because you (somehow) know that they are right? I don't see the blasphemy in blindly following that which you consider sacred.

Jesus and Buddha don't speak to you in person. Then of what influence are they, except for that they (somehow) are, without being able to reach you and guide you and do anything?
Go right ahead and follow your Jesus and Buddha, if that seems to tell you that you must live according to your nature. I'm right there with you, only then without the metaphor.
WHY DO U GUYS THINK THE WORLD IS LIKE THIS??/
The predecessor of science was ancient mysticism. Ever since man wanted to know 'wtf'.

I'm right there with you, only then without the metaphor.Word, (I've had this same convo before), Buddha's way is a way that really cannot be followed if you follow it. Their words are not really meant to be followed, instead, reflected upon, and from there you yourself must determine what you do next, otherwise if you just follow the words, you are really perverting the word's intent. Im just using Buddha as an example tho, i read lots of stuff, you gotta.
Anyway, thats the perfect solution to the world's problems, however it probably isn't the most immediately practical, not everybody can afford to conduct life as a spiritual quest. Most people basically don't or can't afford to give a shit. For that matter, I agree, people need higher authorities and sometimes they need direction and mutherfuckers telling them what to do and what is reality, it is only justified because of practicality, but I hope and promote in my own way for a world more in the manner to where people can be their own emancipation and guiding light.

Ever since man wanted to know 'wtf'.At the heart, that's precisely the difference: the mystic man wanted to know "what the fuck" without having to go through the trouble of actually having to look for the truth. Mysticism explains by replacing knowing with assuming. "Just believe it, and it will be true." But that's not how you build empires. That's not how you get food in your stomach.

Through your way, Buddha is comparable to the way I perceive my favorite thinkers, for example. A critical mind is a decent one.

How else are humans supposed to remain alive and in good health, whilst being mentally decayed? It's precisely because people don't give a shit that they end up struggling in the gym to forget their third divorce. The abandonment of the mind leaves people without a direction and without knowledge of what's going on.But to solve that, do people need higher authorities? I'll definately agree that some positive influence would be more than just welcome, but does that have to be a "higher authority"? A spiritual leader would be fine already. He wouldn't have to be worshipped or anything - it's the influence that counts.
