Fucking horrifying.

I see you drank that Kool Aid and fucking liked it. Get out of here with your self-hatin’ ass.

• I wonder if Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha lived on earth at times which were ripe for the wider dispersion of ideas. Larger populations, greater infrastructure, exchanges, all these enabled their word to spread faster and to further places. I wonder if that is a reason why their words/teachings were so latched onto. It’s not like prophets or enlightened beings didn’t exist before these blokes, but for some reason people took their words as the ultimate word. Maybe they were lucky?
• People cling so rigidly to their teachings, to them as human saviors, and really I don’t know if that was the point of what they were trying to say. They were human and putting words to their thoughts as best as they could. Isn’t all inspiration “divine,” given to us by the Universe? We are all made of stars, we are all our own savior, it is our charge in life to make our own path glorious.
• Before they lived, and since their lives have ended, there absolutely have and will continue to be other enlightened beings who have prophetic teachings to share. I feel some people don’t leave room in their minds and hearts to absorb new teachings if they’re so yoked to a particular strain of religion and it’s interpretation. WE all have important things to say, but they get overshadowed.
• Morals, our lives, the universe, these things are NEVER static; they are fluid, personal, and situational. 
• Perhaps the words of these particular prophets and the pedestal other humans placed them on are now overshadowing or have been overshadowing other prophets or enlightened being’s teachings. 
• I have no love for religion because it teaches people to box their love, to give it walls and to use fear as a motive. Fear is the greatest destroyer. We have changes, shifts, editing, movement through time and I feel religion doesn’t shift with it. People cling to their faith so fiercely so they can box their love into a specific shape, and try to keep fear out of that space.
• Fear is the worst motivator and what derails us from our true paths. We are all meant to expand, to grow, to absorb, to change, not to shrink and constrain ourselves against change and others. 
• We all have our own path, our own purpose, and it is totally relative and no one is better than another. How sad to see people hate on themselves so much because they don’t fit into a specific box, into what others think they should be busy doing. People who judge and point out shit to make fun of it are throwing up a front and need a mirror, everything you throw out in that manner is something that exists inside of you. People insist on bursting into other folks spaces because they feel they have to defend themselves, to hold themselves up, to feel worthy. I pity these people and their uselessness but I won’t and hope others won’t stand for that unwarranted ugliness to intrude on your space. Get the fuck out of here and go fix your own ugly ass life.
• No one on this planet has it so fucking figured out with their own life that they have time or liberty to worry about other people’s lives. Worry about your OWN shit.
