1. ok ppl deserve it statement. well i was thinking more in the sense of the whole population as a whole. destroying the forests and bringing about global warming kind of thing. that man as a species deserves to be killed. u can make the argument that does a baby russian snow leopard deserve to die or be eaten when there are only 40 left on the planet?? russian snow leapords i mean. obv NOT. but then life was not fair and i meant in a amoral , cause and effect way. man destroys planet, planet destroys man kind of thing.
if u knew me u'd understand better coz i'd have already pontificated in more detail many many times.

also about the 3 yr old. again life is def unfair, but then thats life. and i was not saying that each person did something to deserve death. coz thats ridiculous. never said natural disasters happen to punish us. thats just plain stupid talk.

2. i meant the crutch thing. to see it rationally i don't think man wud exist without a crutch of some sort. everyone has to believe in something. even atheists believe in something. they just believe that there is no god. i feel that ordinary ppl can't survive without a crutch and that most ppl wud loose their moral compas without a fixed point of reference. again i don't believe in religion per se except to be used as that moral compas.
and who said life had to be better. obv an invented god is worse. TOUGH LUCK !!

3. rationally? well it comes from my belief in the atma. and ties to point 4.
u start from why are we here. what is the purpose of man. lets do this like math. as much as possible atleast.
unfortunately to come to a conclusion we need all the facts which we do not have. its like finding a solution with most parameters missing. so we need to make some assumptions. i'll work with the assumption that ONE god exists.
now we know that all living creatures evolve. so now we are human. wats gr8er than human. well if god exists then the gr8est thing, the pinacle of evolution is god.
ok so now the goal of each living being, is to evolve into something better, that is to become god. but since there is only one god, we have to integrate with god.
ok so then obv one lifetime is insuffiucient so then we come to the concept of atma. and reincarnation and stuff.
also i believe in astrology and vedas and hinduism as a philosophy. and stuff. [ thats another story , ok ? ]
oh i fin my point. cool.
now u see why i say ppl get wat they deserve, coz obv karma fits there. and why i dont want to get married coz i dont want to get sucked into a routine and forget the higher purpose , which is evolving a lil more to find god. i think after the atma becomes human, we can reach there pretty fast if we don't get too distracted... but mebe one can get married and also do it provided u had the right partner.
now if our assumption that god exists is wrong, that means this is all very random and then it seems SUCH an awful awful waste, huh? and then also the brain sees patterns where none exists. so its quite possible that all of everything that has ever happened was pretty pointless!! and THAT my friend is something that i cannot live with. so i prefer to live with the alternative fully knowing that its all based on ONE assumption. and thats why i said if god did not exist its necessary to invent him coz otherwise i cannot live knowing everything had no point.

my fingers are GONE.
