| Let�s Discontinue the Species! Religion is not part of what I�m peddling. I am a philosopher. However, the creation myths of many religions not only coincide with the ideas I am about to present to you, but with one another. The idea of original sin in my mind is not the defiance of humans towards an omni being. It is the acquiring of the ability to use any facet of our motivation other than instinct. When we commit that sin, we are living against the law of nature. This in my opinion is where we are defiant, and thus wrong. We do not have any right to live on this planet. The idea of us is not a mistake, the results are a failure. We are the perfect example of an experiment gone wrong. We are what the rest of nature views as horror. There is no way to redeem ourselves but to discontinue the species. For a long time, I felt that as long as I was not going to have children, it gave me license to do whatever I wanted. That thought is as wrong as the man who believes that going to church every Sunday will buy him a ticket into heaven. I realize now that the real morality of humans should comply with nature, and any action we commit against nature is a sin. The only way to live a life of peace is to adhere to nature�s law. Respect the earth and live in accordance with it. For those who feel they cannot commit themselves to this kind of lifestyle...DON�T HAVE CHILDREN. No one should have children, but especially those who have no interest in keeping our collective home a nice place to live. The only comfort I have in living is that one day I know I will die and then I will not be responsible for any further imposition humans put on the earth. If you don�t agree with me then I challenge you to live one day out of your life without any �convenience� humans have forged for themselves to live this life of sin. Some examples are: Computers, cars, telephones, radios, and for the less technological: Running water, store bought clothes, toilet paper, beds, homes, really anything that has been bought, or can be sold. return to august's table of contents |
