Well that doesnt mean you actually have to be a member of
some kind of church or follower of some kind of organized
religion

I am an anarchist. All government is evil.

I also feel very patriotic about America. I am a patriot.

I am a patriotic anarchist.

It isn't an oxymoron at all.

If you care to look into detail as to what being religious
means everyone is religious. The pure fact that someone says
she/he is not would fit the description of being religious.
Now what if one would decline this description? Guess
what... That could be interpreted as being religious.
From 0 to 1 in nought. hahahaha

The intellects will branch off in separate hyperevolutionary
directions and farm and sell the religious in cans for a low
price of 367 septapurons.

I beleive in Brahma cycles. Not in it's anthropomorphic
terms but the ideology of it. The big bang, the universe,
the destruction of the universe, another big bang, etc. It
makes sense that time would work in cycles.

Now when I say I beleive in this, I don't believe that our
lives repeat in this cycle. Each cycle is unique, some
cycles may chance upon the spontaneous unlikelyhood of a
species evolving into whatever it may become.

This could be the first cycle ever to harvest an intelligent
species, it may be the 1032590325th cycle. I believe that
the purpose of life is to pool sentient information into an
evolving metaphysical concept (you can call it god if you
like but it doesn't call the shots and for all we know it
could still be at an infantile stage of development).

Maybe it's just hard for me to accept that these cycles end
with a total loss of all the accumulated information from
the last cycle. I guess it's faith that keeps me pondering
this entity called life, a force (although branched into
singular individuals) that defines life and therefore is, in
it's own way, one thing. life, time, ball, square. You can
account for many subgenres of a thing, but it's a thing at
the base, not things.

After reading into the big bang and all that universe stuff,
I started to wonder how a new cycle could even begin. How
can an expanding universe possibly reach that stage of a dot
so full of mass and energy that it explodes once again. Well
we're technically in the cool down stage, everything is
expanding, getting colder, more empty space.

This is where black holes come in. They would eventually
absorb everything, it's mindnumbing to conceive how long
this would take. Given that blackholes are superficial, that
would mean this universe is a 3 dimensional surface,
something we can't really grasp as it's practically an
oxy-moron to us.

Milky way, milk swirling around the surface of your coffee,
theres a whole cup of coffee, all you see is the milky way
design on the surface. It's in this other dimension that the
energy accumulates to a single point. So once the blackholes
have everything, it can begin again. Empty space doesn't
account for anything, it's technically nothing. Just a peice
of paper, a 3 dimensional surface for galaxies to form.

I know I'm stating shit as if I've figured it out. I
haven't. Any individual spewing their crackpot theories
deserves a yawn. We can't and don't know anything about
everything. I just felt like a midnight rant in a thread
where it could be said. Oh god yes.

Given that I'm an atheist, and the only truth is what's
proven in the realm of science, I confabulate my theories
off universe related things. I simply chose Brahma because
it's the only religion that seems to understand (in it's own
silly way) that the universe is following a logical timeline
to destruction and rebirth.

I'd say the only illogical part of my theory is the
internal faith that the end of a cycle doesn't result in a
total loss of information, 'cause that would simply make
everything we are meaningless, and the path to an acceptable
life would merely be hedonism and suffering. Which is
basically what life is. Religious ideologies takes the pity
out of pitiful.

The universe has always worked on evolution and natural
selection, maybe the entire universe as a whole does this
too in its cycles, and that the accumulated knowledge
expands and builds each cycle, into a pool of sorts. And
that this changes the physical configuration of the
universe, and ultimately a sentient being will become god.

But in theory it doesn't have to happen in several cycles
either, it can also happen in one.
I read that after billions upon billions of years, the ever
expanding universe will turn into nothing but photons, and
can stay in that form for eternity (or till someone turns
the switch off)
Maybe humans ultimate goal, or any living thing, is to
design technology that will preserve the universe so that we
can live in it forever, or maybe set off another big bang.

I do believe that our existence is meaningless, but our
potential is without limits. Consciousness is the highest
form of existence, even if we have the lowest possible
implementation of it at this stage, there's nothing that
says we can't become gods.
