ex-everything religious
OP - December 02, 2012, 05:38 PM

Hi

Followed the spiritual path for eons and all I can say is that religion has reached it's used by date.

'Religion' means to 'bind' - which also means consumerism is also a religion - and I am really anie-consumerism.

But I also know there is more to reality than knowledge. But if you want to know what it is you will have to find out for yourself - I have no intention of starting another religion.

Look forward to seeing you on the boards.

Hi

..........
'Religion' means to 'bind' -..............

hello .... welcome......... Did you mean "blind"?.... did you miss the letter "L" in that word?

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

I meant 'bind' - but I take your point.

Religion constrains thinking and enhances psychological and emotional dependency.

And thank you for your welcomes.

Did you mean "really anti consumerism"? I'm really anti consumerism myself, I wonder if there are any more anti consumerists on this forum? Even for the people who have no problems with this critically flawed economic idea, it's worth considering that by the time the manufacturer has prioritised the monetary gain to be made from the product and decided it's "built in obsolescence" your truely getting a third rate product.
And don't get me started on the monetary system, imaginary money from thin air, even more of it floating around in cyberspace, an insurmountable and ever increasing level of (imagined) debt that could never be cleared even with all the pretend money in the world and the majority of us, unquestioning wage slaves who just get on with it. Ok that's enough now I'll stop.
