What the Fuck is Religion?!?!

Posted on the 19 April 2012 by Nickmcdonald @W_W_O_Nick_McD
I am not your typical religious person. If you are, and you think this is going to a long atheistic rant you're wrong KEEP READING!, you will find this interesting. I believe......that I don't know what to believe. I'm not really agnostic, I just have a very complicated belief system that is hard to explain but I will try to explain it now!
This will sound very weird because you have never heard anything like it before. I think that we don't actually exist, because, take time to think about this before continuing ---Existence is impossible because if something exists it has to be created--- It is the classic chicken and the egg scenario. I have looked, and looked and I can't find anything that explains this. Religion- God or Gods created us. what created God??!! Science- The universe was created by the big bang. What created the big bang??!! The multi-verse??!! What's next the multi-multi-verse? But then, one day it came to me when I was in the shower ---The only thing that can exist without being created.....is an IDEA!!!--- YES!! I had figured out what life is, an idea! It is just the idea of existence, that manifested into the universe! But this raised even more questions that needed answers. If life is an idea what happens when I die?
This is where the fun starts!! This grand new idea that I had come up with had left me with infinite possibility!! It was now possible to logically explain religion now it is possible that Jesus WAS the son of God, It is even possible that when I die I could go to heaven (or hell yikes!!) it is even possible that Zeus is real! I had logically proven the possibility of an afterlife! But then again I had also proven that it is possible that there is nothing after death. So what have I done? Nothing I went in a big circle and all that I have to say for it is "Yup, that's a circle!"
So now what? I have proven that there in no proof of anything. I guess the only thing to do is to make something up like everyone else does, wither you are atheist, Religious, or just lack faith like I do you can never be sure what is "real" and what isn't.
A while later I decided that I should ponder this question of my origins further. Bear with me because it is about to get a whole lot more complicated! I figured that I would keep with what I already had and make a more definitive, be it more theoretical and unprovable assumption of what happens when I die and this is what I came up with.
This "Theory of Existence" as I have been calling it (to my self, I have only told one other person about this since I came up with it.) has always existed, infinitely! I know Infinity is a hard concept to grasp but it is very important to this theory, so take some time to ponder this --- Infinity comes in "levels" all of which are infinite, there are an infinite number of universes, an infinite amount of galaxies in that chosen universe, infinite number of planets, so on and so on until you get down to sub atomic particles so even though there are an infinite number of possible universes where ever thing is the same but one of your hairs is "X" number of nanometers to the left or right there is still a 1/infinity chance that you will even be on earth if you pick a different existence.---
So back to my theory, it is based on a concept of "viewpoints", how you are able to experience life is because "YOU" are a view point that is experiencing THIS one of an infinite number of possible existences. There are two different possibilities ether there is one view point that is the one that I "am" writing this and ALSO you reading this just at a different "time", Or there are infinite viewpoints one right behind me in this "existence", as well as one right in front of me also writing this and also you reading this. This may confuse you, but what I am saying is that the viewpoint isn't YOU or ME it is just the ability to experience and the viewpoint can't do anything but EXPERIENCE! even your thoughts are not "YOURS" they are "INSERT  YOUR NAME HERE"s thoughts "you are just experiencing them like a person watching a movie, you can't change anything your just experiencing what the character experiences; the character being you!!
So I like to think of it as a HUGE maze of tunnels in a jungle gym, "you" (the view point) goes around though the tunnels each starting at birth, ending at death then you just go into another one when you reach the end of the one your in. and there are infinite kids one after the other going in and out of these infinite number of tunnels for ever and ever and ever.
But it doesn't necessarily have to end at death there could be an afterlife in this tunnel before the end, hell there could be several! Who knows!!!
So once again I find my self right back where I started. And this time I say FUCK IT religion is just a maze that takes you in an infinite loop.
So my advise for this post : fuck religion, fuck logic, just have fun in the moment!!!!!
