God and deities are just man made concepts. They're just a myth. So too with the supernatural, it's just superstition. No matter what god/creator for the universe you choose they are now regarded as myth or soon will be, as so many gods have fallen since the beginning of time. We put these concepts into belief long ago when we were ignorant of the world and our place in it and needed something to satiate our curiosity.
We now know facts about our world and universe and our place in it. The earth isn't flat, nor does it sit at the center of our solar system or at the center of the milky way galaxy or even the universe. The earth wasn't made for us by some God, we arose out of our ecosystem which encompasses the whole earth and the cosmos, as did every other living thing that has came before us. We aren't some special species on the planet, we're just another evolution of the 1st form of self replicating matter that arose out of the earth.
We have proven we have some sort of intelligence as it could be called. We've done some both noble and nightmarish things with that intelligence like eradicating some diseases, extending our life span but at the same time finding new ways to kill our own kind and the rest of the animal kingdom enmasse with profit driven militarism,farming,hunting,deforestation,
pollution, and climate change.
With such reaching ramifications of our intelligence has been our profit and greed driven economic systems. The economy of capital has got our whole world on the brink of ecological collapse with no end in sight, burning fossil fuels day and night; continuing to increase our global average temperatures.
Our existence and our search for meaning will be over if this is to be continued. Our existence will be shown to be wholly detrimental to ourselves and our interconnected ecosystem. The meanings of our lives and the universe that have been handed down to us from our myths and stories that we've created to give us comfort will provide none.
If we are going to keep searching for some meaning, some exalted place in the world and even the cosmos; may we do away with the profit and greed that causes so many of our needs and potential achievements to go unmet. Then we will be able to do our greatest works.
We have it within ourselves to reduce and correct our effects on our ecosystem with solar, wind, geothermal energy, carbon capture technology, cleaning up our oceans and fresh water sources and sustainable agriculture. We can not only halt and reverse climate change we can live in a world where we live in accord with our ecosystem and natural world. Where no one dies of hunger, no one is homeless or not cared for.
If we are to have a God and some meaning. Let our care for humanity and our earth be our God, meaning will then be our way.
Love Comrades! Open to thoughts and discussion on this. If you're just gonna comment about how communism has killed 100 trillion people please educate yourself on the facts before you make yourself look ignorant, willfully ignorant at that.
