what if evolution was a religion?
A lot of atheists, including my self, find them self whining about all the people that religion has killed. Innocent women, children and men, killed because they did not believe in the right God. There can be no question, religion has killed more people that any war, one might argue that religion is man's greatest enemy. However, thats completely besides my point.
What if evolution was the foundation for the current day religion. We would prohibit anyone with hereditary deceases to breed. We would certainly not allow homosexuality, or fat people to survive. Only the perfect, the athletic, the strong, the clever would prospere in such a society. But would it be possible to have all these qualities in one single person? Or would we deliberately create different races. One hard working and strong. One clever and wise. One creative and beautiful. No matter how frightening the idea of killing the innocent to create the perfect, it would certainly be a baffling world.
Anyway, my point is, that it might not be religions fault that people have killed in its name over the centuries. We are, as a spices programmed to get rid of the weak and admire the strong it is, probably, how we got this far. The only problem is, that for as long as anyone knows, we have had one or more religions to tell us what makes up a successful person and what does not. Now religion is finally slipping away back in to the history books and we realize that killing someone of another religion might not be justified.
But now what, where should we look, to find our new ideals?
about internet for dummies..
After a lot of embarrassing episodes and cries for help, I have decided to make a list of stuff you (being a computer dummy) should NOT do, ever..
1. Do not accept all friend-request on MSN or Facebook, if you don't know them, its a fat chance that you will like them. Especially when they run of with your MSN account.
2. Never put stuff in the "shared folder" on your computer if you don't want the world to see it. I once found a nsfw video of a neighbor that was "borrowing" my parents internet-connection at the time. She was not to happy when I made her aware of the situation. Just so we are clear, when you are on a network everybody can see the content of this folder.
3. When ever you get an email saying that you have to send you password to the email account the them, don't. If a random man stopped you on the street and asked you for the password to your ATM-card so that your account wouldn't be canceled, would you give it to him? The to scenarios are closer in relation that you think.
4. The golden rule of Facebook. If you are a parent and ever feel the need to comment on your child's status-update, shoot your self.
5. I know that the "what music I'm listening to" feature on MSN is quite awesome, but remember to turn it off when you start watching porn, that comes up as well.
6. If you are one of the stone age people still using Limewire and such. Remember to check if your sharing your entire hard drive. You know there's a lot of fancy files there, with passwords and so forth.. well.. not a great idea, if those pics of you wearing a male-thong finds their way on to the internet.
7. If you think you can win an argument in some forum about some topic, don't. You have already lost.
I've got to say, there has to be a lot more of these, feel free to add them as comments. The Ignorant can not be warned enough, and in my opinion there should be an internet license just to be allowed to turn a computer on...
