I want to start a cult. Yes, that's right, I'm not going to disguise this belief system as anything more than what it is. A good organised religion (i.e. cult) is one that is based on rational ideas. You may be wondering, what is the target of worship for this cult? YOU (a part of God). This is atheistic in that "God" doesn't exist "out there" but is just a label (the label being the word "God") for conscious energy (you being a piece of that pie).
Like nearly all cults, this cult is a patchwork of original and unoriginal ideas (many great ideas have already been had, and it would be a shame not to utilize them).
Here are a few of the core beliefs that lie at the foundation of this cult:
-God is the Pool of Consciousness
-Souls are like water droplets falling in a continuous cycle of evaporation and rain (there is no death, only loss of individuality).
-Conscious matter is subject to improvement over time (improvement = useful complexity)
-God (a pool of consciousness) has an influence (such as over its biological and external environments)
-The mind of God is a hive mind (bee = individual souls).
-Consciousness underlies the rapid evolution that has been seen in the last several million years
-The soul is essentially a "user" of a biological computer
-The soul has a bee to flower relationship with biology (you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours)
-The universe is subject to evolutionary forces (being an individual in the multiverse)
-There is no evil, only lack of useful complexity (some are useless in that they hold back progress, i.e. growth)
Soul = Conscious Mass x Efficiency (which improves when increasingly useful complexity is brought about)
Environmental influences = all which has an influence (souls included)
Well, that is a taste of what this belief system will entail. Stick around, this should be fun :)

This is not a new belief at all. This is cosmic humanism, which is represented in certain parts of the New Age movement. The ignoring of evil caused when someone rapes or kills another, or of the Nazi holocaust/the mass killing of more people in peace times than in all the wars combined caused by some communistic nations, most of which believed they were doing good, is also not new according to this belief system.
ReplyDeleteThis was first shown in some oriental religions.
One of my friends used to believe this until he started to see the issues with it. He referred to us as programs on a computer that it sent out to learn more about itself.
This is not an atheistic belief system because to be an atheist there must be no belief in a deity-- even if that deity is either all of existence (pantheism) or is all of us.
This is more tongue-in-cheek than anything. Thanks for stopping by :)
