When would you go down the unfamiliar road?

Any religious text presents its self as all knowing, and offers itself to guide you on the path they have set for you. They tell how the earth began, to how it’s going to end including everything between. You are presented with their precise morals and guided with strict rule in which you will live by. All of these beliefs brought unto you are designed to keep you from asking questiWhen Would You Go Down the Unfamiliar Road?

Any religious text presents its self as all knowing, and offers itself to guide you on the path they have set for you. They tell how the earth began, to how it’s going to end including everything between. We are presented with their precise morals and guided with strict rule in which you will live by. All of these beliefs brought unto you are designed to keep us from asking questions, because they are already answered these questions. We may argue that there was no science to explain the basic questions of life, the ancients experienced, so these beliefs made the best sense to them. people still live by these beliefs nowadays. For thousands of years religion has been used to keep order in people, and to prevent them from stepping out of line. This doesn't allow you to truly think for one's self, halting your quest for knowledge. Having morals installed on you that have been around for thousands of years prevents you from turning out the true person you are meant to be.


There is one reason why anyone would want to act like they knew the answer for everything; they want us to know there is a higher power that can strike you down at any precise moment. If we have any spontaneous moments where you wonder the origin of everything, or why the moon is sometimes orange instead of white. It can simply be answered all of this was that of course done by the Almighty.

“And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning.

Thus the Heavens and earth were finished,” (Genesis).

This was the only answer to the creation of the earth for thousands of years. This is purposely told to you so you don’t think or worry about the past. This is what you’re told about the past, and you’re told that every other explanation is indeed false. There is a goal in this, you learn from the past to prevent mistakes from happening in the future. So when you don’t have people trying to learn from the past, they are under control. When you are under control you can’t control the future yourself. They do the same thing every day, they go to church every Sunday, and they praise and worship the same idol. Then they raise children, and their children do the same thing every day, they go to church every Sunday, and they praise and worship the same idol. Then they themselves raise children. The same story, from Gilgamesh to the Al Qur’an, has had people in the same exact cycle for thousands of years. The cycle starts in Genesis when god first creates man.

“Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground”

To me this is a symbol of how we can be returned to the earth with no value lost. its god amazingly forming the very complex man from dirt. And that we are made separate from animals so we must be special. But it represents a false importance. We are really only as valuable as dirt or dust. The answer to where do we come from is even simply answered. We are are recyclable, when we die our morals and beliefs live on in our children.


We're not supposed to think about or question the past. Our past on this earth isn’t the only thing that is absolute. What? You almost forgot I hope you didn’t shave today, or ever? Because that’s right you are going to the lake of fire. The morality of sin is very well installed in our everyday lives, wrong doing is something we conflict every day. It is very obvious what the image of hell is used for in the Bible. Controlling your everyday life and keeping it routine. Telling you that if you if you commit sin you’re going to hell, is a very more effective brainwashing technique than having you blindly accept your past. This installation of morals through religion effectively controls people.


The Genesis story has been used before, but the Divine creation story is what Genesis is based off of. the story that come with it telling about Almighty God striking down unbelievers constantly testing your faith to see if we are worthy of going to heaven, is very powerful. This has been the guidance of the human race since the dawn of history, since the Epic of Gilgamesh was the first known text, and Genesis and Gilgamesh are virtually the same story. Only recently have people begun to question these beliefs, since we now have evidence to prove otherwise. when your original presented with extreme answer to your question, when you doubt your original answer you look for another complex answer, confusing you when the answer is really simple. Maybe we just all randomly got here overtime. We always seek an answer to everything. Possibly the answer is that there is no answer, we must accept this and be happy with it. We all die one day I don’t want to live in anticipation of an eternal hellfire because if I beliefs what is most commonly believed, I’m getting that hellfire.

We are present with the perfect answer to how everything came to be, we are told how thing can turn out to be after death, It’s all up to you be good and be rewarded, or else you will receive the eternal hell flame. This is done because when they have us concerned about the past and future, we are under control in the present. our own human nature has been disrupted.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”(Orwell)

If things are always how they have been forever, people tend to go with it and conform. It’s not a problem for them either, simply because this is just how it has always been. Change is different, different is unfamiliar and may be difficult to accept . This is the uniform mindset that is achieved with this control.
