My Creative Phrase;
"Religion widens the blind spot of human thinking and stops creative thinking for life (for good)"
Current events in Ceylon made me to Reproduce this piece which was deleted from this blog spot by me.
A Knee Jerk Reaction, now!
A Brain Virus describes it better than Opium!

Analogy
of religion to biological entities
By
strange coincidence I was attracted to a presentation by an author
before his intended book.
He
left gaping gaps in his presentation of one hour long.
I
guess if he did a 20 minutes presentation and left the rest for
questions and answers he would have done a better job.
In
that case his book would not sale.
His
intention was to confuse more than enlighten the audience.
This
is the Internet age, the name of the game is confusion and
contradictions.
For
general consideration, I would analyze the Internet first,
Presentations second and analogy of religion to biological
principles, the last.
If
you are not interested in the general blah, blah skip whatever one
wishes and go to the theme of choice or no choice (the better choice)
at all.
1.
Biological Distribution of the Internet Content.
Internet
as it is, if I describe in a statistical sense with the analogy of
statistical “Bell Shaped Curve” as a model is never a general
distribution at all.
It
is skewed to the right or the
left to a greater degree and the Bell part is evident by the greater
confusion of all.
The
left side of the bell is generally skewed to the “Idea
Generated” and the right side is more skewed to the
contradictory outcome generated by the idea itself but very
“Obsessive” in
nature.
There
is no middle path or middle part.
The
middle part of the bell shaped curve is filled with total confusion.
That
is not the expectation of a good dialogue which is to dispel the
wrong view while giving space for the plausible alternative view,
leaving the majority non committal or on neutral ground.
The
best way to avoid confusion is to shut the "Internet by Will” but
this would never happen in this century and that is the malady.
2.
Presentation Technique
Any
presentation has to be brief and to the point.
It
should not be a kitchen cabinet type with a secret goals and
intentions.
I
loved the Power Point Presentation technique when it came.
A
good presentation should not go beyond 10 power point slides with
powerful words and couple of pictures.
Then
the ability to insert videos into the power point presentation came
and it killed brevity of a presentation.
I
think any good message should not go beyond 20 minutes since by then
the boredom sets in the mind.
Then,
the YouTube came in an the brevity of presentation is known for its
absence (of brevity)!
3.
Biological Behavior of Religion
The
presenter did ask few questions and never gave any answers.
He
never gave any social (may be even political) implications or
scientific explanation why there are so many religions evolved in
human history but only a few stay put.
He
said early humans forms made cultural (tribal way) types and may or
may not have had their own religions.
The
modern religions originated during last 3000 (barring prehistorical
civilizations) years and there was no social need for their beginning
but once formed they attracted the imagination of the rulers and
became almost like “Brain Parasites”to infect the innocent
subjects.
There
was no escape.
But
his analogy of religion to biological entities was pretty good one.
There
are cellular life forms of parasites, symbiotic and neutral forms.
But
almost all forms of religions are parasitic to our brains and having
entered they do not leave us like viruses.
Viruses
do not do anything worthwhile but remain and reproduce.
Religions
also reside in our brains and never allow a better form of religions
(if there are any?) or alternative views to take root.
The
parasite rules the host brain not the other way round.
The
disorder instead of harmony sets in.
There
is no god or religion coding (DNA) in our genome.
Religion
is like an epigenetic relationship.
Just
as when newer types of flowers take root in evolution butterflies,
bumble bees and humming birds come into existence.
Religion
was not a necessity in evolution (in that case it would have evolved
before the language) and once it takes root this epigenetic existence
is parasitic.
Man
is never freed from this bondage.
Why?
Do we
need a religion?
Is
it only a creation of mankind that left him entangled without an
escape route?
