Religion and Authority 01 02 2025

If I tell you not to believe in authority am I not indeed telling you that I am a greater or greatest authority?

There is an implied level of hierarchy in that statement isn't there.

And what about religion and a Messiah?

What does the messiah represent to you?  If you are Catholic?  To me it is someone who fought against those who believed themselves to be the ultimate religious authority?  To me it is someone who professed being a good person?

And how can you argue against an authority who preaches being a good person?  Or attempts to preach that.  Even though such a preaching is going to be fraught with contradictions.

To be saved by living your live as a good person? I wholeheartedly believe in that.  Why?  Because someone like that has a human soul!  And how can someone without a human soul be saved?  What is there to save?

So perhaps some of the conflicts between religions is who is an authority?

Is there a religion that preaches the individual is to become the authority or arbiter or decider of things?  That is self reliance.  I believe that once you are put on the good path in life that is what you become.

It is a means of controlling people?  By asserting that you are the only authority on God?  And back in the day religion was government.

I can see how elements of this are used to transfer money from the good to the bad.  And perhaps that is one of the best things Jesus stood against; the rich.

So Trump make a statement about euthanasia and genocide and one other thing.  I can't find that right away.

But this is highly relevant to religion.  A woman who is conceiving is not even supposed to have one drop of alcohol due to the risk of birth defects.  And fetal alcohol syndrome takes a heavy hit on the hippocampus area of the brain.  The hippocampus is responsible for memory gatewaying.  Memory gate weighing.  The ability to remember.  The ability to remember what you were told when you did something wrong.  The ability to remember something taught to you in school.  The ability to know wrong from right!  The ability to know wrong from right!  If you don't have that ability how can it be said that you have a human soul?

So perhaps with Catholicism the way I believe in it is, "This person, Y'Shua or Jesus Christ, taught it best."

Do I believe that he was perfect?  No.  And perhaps this, Modern Knowledge, if Jesus Christ had modern knowledge, would he have been more perfect?  I think so.

And hence a person develops and learns in life, in order to be more perfect or more likely to be accepted by God?  If you live your life with a good soul on judgement day,  there is no ability to lie to God.  A natural sorting?  The good goes with the good and the bad to hell?  Just like a magnet picks up magnetic particles?  Like a plant grows from exposure to the sun?  Like water flows in a stream.

And indeed I believe our Country was greatest when we fought for freedom.  And I believe our country produced the best people during Prohibition.  And I also have a notion that those born from those who were born during prohibition might not be as "tainted."

And so indeed I read some material regarding what might be the origins of certain religions?

And you look at all of the above and you come to the conclusion, our country will never be great again.
