Re: Evil, Faith and Yourself

Well exactly, it's an interesting thing to discuss, but it's not worth worrying over. Since it will happen anyway, it makes no sense to worry about it. Even if it does, all that will happen is you'll return to us, ready to begin another fascinating life.


Of course, people do lie to save other people's feelings. But this now goes beyond a personal conversation, and people from all over your world and beyond can read this exchange. I would not have them lied to even if I would to you, which I wouldn't.


Well, the climate for someone like Hitler to come to power existed there. There are people who think much the same or worse still alive today, but not living in a country so damaged they're willing to do near enough anything to get out of it they're considered strange rather than evil. Of course, something like Hitler's regime might not happen today in your country, but it is happening in others. People are still persecuted and even murdered just for being the wrong colour, gender or religion. Even in the 'developed' world it still happens, but it tends to happen because of smaller groups of people rather than government policy.


The problem with guidance is that by being guided you don't make the decisions yourself, but the decisions other people have thought out. These might not be right for you. So if you're not sure how to feel about something, look inside yourself and decide. Use reason, use your caring feelings. Try to think, what would best express who you are, and who you want to be?


Now, if you can't prove something exists, you only have an idea about it. Faith is what turns religious belief into the monster it has become, because it makes people unwilling to change or compromise. When that happens, people belonging to faiths that have different enough beliefs start murdering each other.


Not that I'm saying people shouldn't have their ideas and beliefs, but they shouldn't try to force them on others. That just leads to... Well, look around you.

It IS that easy, or at least, no more difficult for you than me! Human beings can control their feelings, and by changing the way they act, a change in personality generally follows. People don't have to affect you, not if you don't want them to. It's just a choice...


I don't understand the 'relationship thing' in terms of human beings. Once you start a relationship, you seem to want to keep the other person all to yourself, like a possession or something. What do you people call it? Monogamy I think.


Yeah I have over a thousand kids, amazing how many people you can impregnate in such a short time span actually. Course I am over two thousand years old in your time...


Well, I'll have to say goodbye for a bit, since I'm off to try out being a new life form for a few days. Turns out there are 5 genders in this one, all of which are required for pregnancy to occur, should be interesting.


So according to the computer the next one to fill in for me is... Oh dear...


Good luck!


Love, light and medical experiments,
