The name is absolutely idiotic, but it was NOT invented by ME, but taken from what I read a few years ago.
Then I accidentally came across an article, either from an English philosophical journal or from British newspapers, that the wisest in Britain wanted to solve the world riddle that has been tormenting “Mankind” for thousands of years:
WHERE DOES RELIGIOUS FEELING COME FROM?
This means that we have gathered the most prominent British thinkers: scientists, philosophers, ministers of the church with a rank not lower than an archbishop, doctors, psychologists, writers, lawyers and all the other high-minded “DULL-rullers”. (The joke is not mine, but borrowed from Pushkin).
They did not skimp on money, either five or fifty million pounds were allocated for this God-pleasing mission and they “began to think and wonder how to find out the TRUTH.”
The money for these thoughtful thoughts quickly dispersed, but the solution to such a painful problem, due, of course, to its immense complexity, versatility and all kinds of variety of topics, was never found!
And Esprit, an illiterate idiot in everything and, of course, in the Holy Scriptures, quite selflessly and without spending money, especially mental effort, took up this question and is ready to provide everyone with an answer to it immediately.
Whether it is true or not is for each reader to judge according to his taste.
So:
I’ll start with the name and its idiocy. Here, initially, at the very beginning, one of the fundamental concepts has already been replaced by another, which a priori indicates the stupidity of those who formulated the question in this way, or rather, the innate deceit and hypocrisy of the descendants of cannibals.
The question should have been formulated as follows:
What is the reason for the need of human beings to believe in an Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omniexistent and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, All-merciful God?
Embodying downright unearthly kindness and forgiveness!
To talk about a “religious feeling” is to confuse God’s gift with fried eggs.
For FAITH is the satisfaction of a certain spiritual need, a state of the human soul, that is, an IDEAL concept!
RELIGION (any RELIGION) is a completely MATERIAL human institution, like all others, created many millennia ago by cunning crooks for convenient, satisfying and permanent PARASITISM on this spiritual state of a herd of fools, exploing this purely ideal need of a weak and mortal human being.
“We are afraid of everything, as mortals should be.
And we want everything, as if we are endowed with immortality”
Duke Francois the Sixth de La Rochefoucauld.
A living being is born, in whose genes one of the highest DOGMAS is clearly written:
LIFE IS WONDERFUL!
«YOURS,” — adds Dogma, – and only YOUR life is beautiful!
And that’s why you have to hold on to YOUR life with teeth, fangs, claws, tentacles and protect it at all costs! This dogma is one of the basic instincts of every living being. However, it is inferior in importance to the first two in the height of its potential:
REPRODUCTION!
Caring for THEIR offspring (Partially).
But, having been born and having begun to perceive this most beautiful life sensually, and then mentally, a living being discovers with chagrin that the environment of his existence is teeming with OTHER beings, for whom, TOO, as for him, life is beautiful and often due to the fact that they will devour him in order to get into once again, proof that THEIR lives are truly wonderful.
And as long as our being manages not to be devoured by them and, at the same time, devour others “lucky people of life,” he agrees with the DOGMA with his belly and everything else and willingly follows it. But the trouble is, others think exactly the same way as he does, and therefore tend to devour him!!! At his expense, to “COLOR” THEIR life, and to put his life into oblivion for the sake of such a lofty goal.
In general, pretty soon the creature comes to the terrible conclusion that life is not at all beautiful, but there is a BLOODY SEWER where everyone eats everyone.
And even if at the moment he is EATING others, he is still EATING, but he is inevitably doomed to get into the teeth of someone else sooner or later, also the owner of a “wonderful life”, and precisely the beautiful one that will eat the “wonderful life” of our hero!
And this REALIZATION strikes a chilling and permanent HORROR into his soul!
He turns to his powerful parents – this is the way out of this hell of a sewer, THEY WILL PROTECT ME from being devoured by others. But very quickly he discovers that mom and dad are just AS weak and defenseless creatures as he is!
So WHERE, he asks himself in despair, is the All-powerful and All-kind FATHER who will cover me with his hand from the horror of being in this bloody sewer?
THE answer is helpfully suggested to him by the same omnipresent DOGMA of BEAUTY – he creates in the mind of the unfortunate, trembling with fear of a collision with REAL, not imaginary life, the answer: Create in your brain, for yourself, a PHANTOM of such an Omnipotent and Omnigoodness Being, or any number of such creatures, and HE or THEY WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ALL ADVERSITY!
A PHANTOM???
How CAN he PROTECT?
Absolutely!!!
Is there PAIN in a dead universe? Matter, radiation, particles, process?
There is nothing like that.
These are just micro-nano-picograms of acetylcholine or another neurotransmitter that have poured into the synaptic cleft of a group of neurons in the amygdala of our brain and are called the Center of Suffering! There are also endorphins in the spinal cord, and enkephalins in the brain, which are also specific mediators that reduce pain.
Is there PLEASURE in a dead universe? Matter, radiation, particles, process?
There is nothing like that.
These are just micro-nano-picograms of acetylcholine or another neurotransmitter that have poured into the synaptic slits of a group of neurons in the amygdala of our brain called the Pleasure Center.
The whole system of life has been based on this fiction, on the vile primitive self-deception of living beings for hundreds of millions of years!
Therefore, the phantom of the All-Merciful Father, Omnipotent, Omnigoodness and Omnipresent, created in the brain, is ALSO able to send biochemical signals of illusory (for reality), but important (for individual sensations) Higher Protection to the Pleasure Center!
PROTECTION AND CARING PARENTAL LOVE!
And nothing else no longer required. This alone reduces the potentials of the Suffering Center, blocking the neurosynaptic pathways of incoming suffering signals.
The Phantom’s task has been completed and, although ephemeral, it has nevertheless removed, stopped (in medical language) the feeling of chilling horror at the gross and obvious cruelty of the process called life. The phantom of an Omnipotent, Caring and All-kind Daddy in the brain of a living being comforts him, relieves anxiety for himself and sends soothing endorphins and enkephalins to different parts of the brain.
That’s the answer to the question!
Faciant meliora potentes.
