Sometimes I just get mad at the world for being touch phobic. I just look around me and see that people are so afraid to show their affection they don't know what real affection looks like, don't know how to show it if they feel it, can't tell if what they feel is real, and can't recognize affection if it is staring them in the face. People are taught not to show affection but it is perfectly acceptable to show anger. Since anger is the only acceptable emotion to express in our society then all other emotions start to look like and behave like anger. Fear, sexual frustration, sadness, and even love or affection have been turned into looking like anger or hatred. This confuses people. When a person is not taught about any other emotion they teach themselves in most cases to ignore or suppress their normal human responses. We are taught to turn our bodies off because it is an evil thing for our bodies to be working correctly. We were built to feel what we feel and our society is just pushing us further and further away from being human.
Instead of being human with all the natural impulses, feelings, wants, needs, desires, hopes and fears we are a society taught how to be robots through an avenue called religion. Religion is a tool that few people use to control many people through fear. Fear of going to hell, fear of God, fear of the government. Not many people realize that our government is made up of mans laws not necessarily Gods laws. We are presuming too much. We seem to think because we have a bible or some other holy book that we know what God really wants. We know what he wants for each of us and we know what he meant when he supposedly said certain things in those books. Thing is people, NO WE DON'T! How dare we know what the all mighty God is thinking? How dare we think us mere messily humans can ever comprehend what he would communicate to us? If He really wanted to world to hear His message then God would certainly not need to use a man's hand to write it down in a book for him. He could easily just shout it down from heaven to tell us what he wants.
Everyone wants to be closer to God or at least in his favor. Even those who do not believe in a god pray during the worst moments of their lives in hopes it may help because no one really knows for sure. Prayer has been scientifically proven to work. Miracles do happen. How ever we wish to explain those things is not in question here. I have my own theories on the miracles I've seen but that is not my point. I am merely illustrating my wish to not knock anyone down who belong in the miracle category.
Let us use a bit of logic here. The bible says we were created in his image. So, if that is what people truly are believing then we are not acting like it. We are acting as if our image is sinful and unclean, that our bodies are tainted. We act as if God stopped loving his children as soon as Eve ate that apple. Ok, so now we all born sinners. Got that. Tell me how it would make things worse to be ourselves the way God made us in the first place? We have our punishments already, we must work to survive and child birth still hurts like hell. Logically I would think that would be atonement or penance enough for Eve eating that apple since we didn't eat that damn thing ourselves I our punishments deemed by God are fitting enough. Why then oh why do we feel the need to punish ourselves further? I do not believe He meant for his children to be unhappy. We are still His children and He the Father so why do we deny ourselves the pleasures that we were naturally set up to enjoy? We are communal beings. We do not survive too long vary well without others of our own kind. It is still being proven yet so many of us are lonely and feel no love from others because we are so afraid to just give someone a hug. We are afraid to show we care.
Human beings that are truly made in God's image would be completely comfortable with themselves the way they are and how they are made by him. Man feel the need to control man. God can do as he pleases and needs no book to do it for him. He is God and has the power to speak to us himself but chooses not to directly from above. One may claim they hear his voice all the time. That is all good and well but none can say he speaks to all of us at once. You can argue that is why he came up with the bible concept but then again it says in the book that he used to speak to all of us at once.
Logically if the bible really was the word of God written through mans hand then revised by the Church and translated so many times and man is flawed as it says we are not perfect then technically that means we may not have truly understood what he said in the first place. We would have to believe that every man who's hand God used was able to get it right in the first place and dictated perfectly, that the translations man made are perfect, the revisions the Churches have made are perfect, and that we imperfect humans know God so well we can cut parts out, add others saying they knew what He really meant because they are holy people who couldn't possibly make a mistake with God's word.
Now, if you really believe that we didn't screw up here then you honestly do not think for yourself and I pity you. One can have faith and not be blind about it. It is our free will that made that book the way it is today and God allowed it to mess up because free will was his gift to us from the very beginning. He does want us to be happy in our lives and act that is true to who we are. He loves us all. I really don't think that God himself would be so uncaring and hurtful to his creations that he would send us to a place called hell. If people really go to hell it is because they created their own hell and sent themselves their because that is where they believed they would end up and it was so. He gave us that free will and our souls so we may create our own realities once we leave this one.
What all mighty loving God do you know that would want his precious children to burn in hell? We do it to ourselves. It has little with what we do in this lifetime. These bodies are meant to be vessels in which to lean and experience what it is to be human. So we should be thankful for this opportunity to learn and stop torturing ourselves and others by going against our nature. Thank God for our bodies, thank him for their pleasures, thank him for their pains, thank him by using them to experience what we were put here to learn and enjoy. Hug each other, laugh, with each other, cry with each other, love one another. Rejoice in the gifts we were given and stop worrying about everything so much we are paying for our sins already. We are not in the garden we were meant to be in.
Which brings me to another point. In the Garden of Eden mankind was naked and everything was simple and provided for the humans. We were in his favor and all was good until we fucked up and broke the rules. We've been paying ever since. Have any of you ever thought that we can be in His favor again and we should try to be as close to the way we were in the Garden? There was no shame in that place. Shamefulness was more of a sin than being naked was. He liked us better when we were without shame for ourselves. It is not a sin to appreciate a nude body. If God had meant us to be clothed we would have been born that way but we were born naked and un-shameful and innocent. Have you ever asked yourself why a baby or child has no problem taking their diapers off or being nude in front of others? If the kid is too warm it makes logical sense for them to want to take off their clothes. What is the point of covering it all up again? Clothes are tools for warmth and attraction of a mate. Simply put. There is no shame in being nude. God wanted us that way in the first place. To be closer to God I would think all of you would want to live without being self conscience about yourself and be closer to nature.
I wish I could hug everyone I meet. I love everyone so much and we are meant to show our affection towards others. We are pack animals like horses. They hug too. It is a happy thing to hug. It is not supposed to be uncomfortable thing to do. I am pissed that we are all taught otherwise. The government just want us to all be afraid so we can be controlled.
Just some thoughts. I think I will put some of this in my writings.
