‼️⚠️ WARNING: THIS PART CONTAINS STUFF ABOUT RELIGION ⚠️‼️

Dedication: This part is integrated with something I wrote in the past, dedicated to my  friend [Star]. (to my other friends reading this: no, they're not in our school)

Note: This was also written in the perspective of a (mildly-insane) 13-year-old soooo please don't be offended if I accidentally indirectly-insult people  >.<

erm so guys I tried to find the Rules and Guidelines thingy because I didn't really bother to read it before. Buuuut I didn't find it so I hope it doesn't say anything bad about referencing/insulting religion or politics or something-

okay so, if you peepalz read part 14 (it's called "four"), I talk about religion. Well today I want to elaborate on that further, so I said (*copies and pastes*):

"...I wonder, how can 'goodness' even be measured? Since we cannot compare ourselves to God, and God is good, are we, by some degree, 'good'? But the Bible tells us, 'we are mere people, we cannot compare to God', so therefore, we are all evil. So... what do we do if everything we do is considered 'wrong'? What rules do we live by if all of the rules we've ever come up with is 'wrong'? Do we even NEED rules?

Maybe, maybe not.

So, perhaps 'good' is just an idea. Then, I suppose, 'evil' would be an idea also. So, there is no such thing as good and evil. If there were, then God is wrong, so God would be nonexistent. So what is the Bible then? Also an idea? Is it also a meaningless abstract notion thought up by the mind of one creative human in the world once-upon-a-time?

I am unsure. All I know is that I believe solely on science. Religion and culture are all simply ideas, the prayers you pray to your Gods are simply whispers in the howling wind. He cannot hear you, and He cannot help you. He is an idea..."

"...But they ARE nobodies, and that is the truth. Who do they think they are then? God? But religion is fake, so they are a fake. Then, the world doesn't exist because nobody exists..."

to continue this, I recently stumbled upon a poem by Shakespeare called "Fear No More" from Cymbeline. It's essentially saying that since death is unavoidable, no matter if you're rich or poor or powerful, then people should stop being scared of death. Shakespeare also indirectly suggests that the churches are taking advantage of our fears and using them against us - hence the start of that 'Heaven' and 'Hell' and the "follow the 10 commandments or you're doomed for hell" stuff. The poem is basically telling us that we shouldn't fear or delay death since it's merely a part of nature, but instead live life to the fullest. Of course, this doesn't mean going against the church's EVERY rule - the Ten Commandments are pretty decent, but the church trying to make us be like 'God' and scaring us into being disciplined in hopes of not being sent to 'Hell' doesn't really feel right to me. Because, I'm not sure that if Jesus were here, he would try to horrify kids into going to Heaven - hey, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that that's not how it works...

And there's also the theory that God is dead which could be the cause of why Earth is dying. First of all, if God is supposedly "eternal", then why/how would He die? Sooo I think that theory is probably false. Apparently in the actual Hebrew version of the Bible, though, it says that Jesus tells us that the planet is MEANT to die, since everything that lives will, undoubtedly, die. However, let's assume that there IS a God for a second, well most people probably that the cause of Earth dying in a few centuries would probably be because of climate change or deforestation and that cr4p, which I think, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, is complete trash, like if we were all to die in the near future, it wouldn't be because of "climate change", it would probably be because of all of us killing each other in WW3... unless if we do something fast. In the time I'm writing this, 2nd of March 2025, there are quite a few wars going on around the world. If you sort of think about it, the supplies, like food, coal and water etc. are dwindling rapidly, so honestly I feel like they should worry about supplies rather than fighting each other because of illegal immigrants or something like that... of course, climate change is still important, but I feel like addressing the really concerning problem of UNITY first would be a lot better, and instead of wasting supplies while a bunch of children are starving in, say, Africa, then that wouldn't be very humane or integrifying or brave or politifying or idking. Right??

Also, recently someone (let's call them CF for Chess Friend) said something to me that really made me think. I was complaining to them about how one of my friends were fasting (aka starving themselves to death because of religious reasons) and, since CF was of the same religion as my friend, CF explained the reasons on fasting to me. Ultimately, they're supposed to feel hunger like poor people for a month so that they can experience what they have to go through. See, in their Bible, it says that, essentially, surviving on earth is a test - and to pass this test, you have to... survive ig lol - which sort of makes sense, at least more sense than a Christian view (where Jesus will look like an alien or an octopus, instead of a human, when he saves aliens/octopuses from the edge of extinction. woahhh - shapeshifter!!!!). Though I'm still not exactly religious, this explanation really cleared stuff up for me, and led me to sort of understand religion.

 So yeah, it's difficult to prove that God exists. But then again, it's also difficult to prove that God DOESN'T exist. Imagine if, one day, scientists figured out how the universe was created - and it wasn't God's doing. So what are we then? Well, people will have mixed opinions, since for some people, religion is their life, and for others, the knowledge that life is meaningless won't really affect them that much. So, of course, this will create a dynamic rift between many communities and individuals. There will probably be more murder and criminal cases - after all, if heaven isn't a thing, then why should we try to be a good person?

Let's talk about space now because it's super interesting :3

I remember reading somewhere that Albert Einstein collected information of a solar eclipse from another country (around the time of WW1 and he got trapped in the country cuz of the war I think? I can't remember-). Anyway, the data collected was basically proving that the light from the Sun bends around the moon

this isn't finished cuz i started this 3 months ago and when i look back now i have no idea what i was going with this, so i'm just gonna publish it hehe

sry guys
