The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

There is no convincing evidence for gods, ghosts, life after death, extra sensory perception, visitors from other planets, astrology, fortune telling, or any of the myriad of belief systems that pervade Human culture. Yet these beliefs remain viable and prosper within the most advanced societies. They will continue to do so as long as we teach our children and each other that knowledge is ethereal. We continue to this day to face the consequences of the lack of insight into our own nature. We can carry with us the myths and stories that have propagated through generations of Human Beings. If we use them as a guide to our survival, that survival is left to the vagaries of chance.
