Simon Shamus

I was watching Simon Shamus on being a Jew,, and found it very interesting, I am interested in religion. Why?   because I am astounded that we as intelligent humans invest so much of ourselves in religion , money , time , effort, it is a huge control over the masses..

This is part one  of Simon's series and he states that the Jews believed as many did on a variety of gods.. then they went to one god with Moses.  He states the Jews were the first to believe in this concept,,...but I have read that a Egyptian Pharaoh before the Jews was  first recorded to make this statement of one god..

This was a big thing to the Jews,, this one god. 

 I think it was a bad thing for all of us.. This one god put the center of attention on us, we became self centered. We worshipped one god, who lived within ourselves... we were made in the image of god.We worshipped a god, in our image, an invisible being,,who cared what we thought and did, and our prayers could bring his attention to the pains in our lives,.

I think this was very destructive to ourselves and especially to the planet and everything around us.

..

If you worship something as the ancients did, the world around you, you treasure it, take care of it and do not desecrate it, as capitalism has done.  Mindless of the care of the land, ready to destroy it with our chemicals and trash.  If we worshipped our land as the ancients did, we would have none of that, and that is one bad reason why we got rid of all of our gods,,we no longer saw the god in everyday objects,,such as a tree, we only saw god within ourselves and became very very self centered and materialistic.  The god that lives within us, controlled us, told us what to do, but he was a god of self interest understood...

If we worshipped many gods,,, each thing having it's own presence, it's own life force, we would be better off. I think at least more respectful of our environment.  As I have said before , we are the only animal that shits in it's own bed.

We have to realize how tender is our lives, how tender is the planet that supports us, we live next to a huge ball of fire that gives us life,,, if it went out for one second, our planet,, so small in space would be destroyed and us with it,, so maybe the ancients who worshipped the sun realized much more than we do today,, that our very lives depend wholly on the sun,and because of that fact we should give it the respect it deserves, for all our lives depend on it's light and heat.,,

 I so worry about the bees, without them we would starve to death. 

We should worship the bees at least they feed us..

I also want to mention carbon sugar, when anything is burnt it turns to carbon, we live in a carbon based world, this is why anything that burns turns black it reverts to carbon, even ourselves...That is why plants spring up so quickly after a fire,,, they have more room and the carbon sugars feed them..I didn't see this , this carbon based lives of ours and everything else.   Carbon Sugars. 

When people drink sports drinks the energy no matter what is stated  is derived from sugar,,, nothing else.. We ,,our brains work on a sugar system.  Nothing gives us energy but the sugar in our food. Carbon Sugar, bjg
