Pluralism

There are around 4000 different religions in the world today, and there have been many, many more throughout history. There are also many different political ideologies. People with all these various religions and ideologies are at odds with each other, which results in wars and hostility.

There are also many different private belief systems. And all people are convinced that they have it right.

Some people are convinced that they are superior to you, and some are convinced that they are inferior. Some worship the golden calf, and some worship baloney.

Pluralism is the idea that everyone must be accepted in society regardless of their beliefs. However, we can only become close friends if our beliefs are similar. Then, we belong to the same tribe.

Romeo and Juliet came from two feuding families. Their love story did not end well. Love is not a force strong enough to win over bigotry. 

Who are you?

What part of you is going to heaven when you die, do you think? And, if you are a Hindu, what part of you is reincarnating? What part of you is coming back here? Do some of your memories survive? If so, how could that be?

Buddhists believe that the soul is an illusion. They think that it is only your actions that are somehow reincarnating.

Materialists and physicalists don't believe in reincarnation, and they don't think there is any heaven or hell. They believe that no part of you lives on after death.

How do you explain that people of different religious faiths interpret their Near Death Experience differently?

The mind

The kingdom of heaven is within you, not among you. It is located somewhere deep down in your unconscious mind.

The kingdom of hell is also in there somewhere.

What would the world look like if no one was there to see it? The real world, the thing-in-itself, consists of nothing to more than 99,9% – space between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.

The phenomenal world, the sun, and the moon, and the stars are created in our brains. The birds, the fish, you and me. Everything.

My mind, your mind, and everybody else's minds are the same mind. The brain is where the mystery unfolds.

Within or without, inside or outside, are just words.

B: Where is your information coming from? Have you ever been to the kingdom of heaven? Are you speculating or fantasizing?

Upper-Class Religion

Hinduism is only for the higher castes, the Priests, the Nobilities, and the Merchants. The employed can go and fuck themselves. Christianity was originally for the poor, fishermen, and outcasts, but it became appropriated by the higher classes for some incomprehensible reason.

The Upanishads, Vedanta, Advaita Vedanta, Yoga, and the Bhagavad Gita are only for the upper classes. If you are a low-caste Indian or a Western working-class seeker of spiritual truths, you should look somewhere else. The idea that you can be more fortunate in your next life and become a priest or a warrior is silly.

BS

Lies, deception, and falsity are valuable and helpful tools. All people know this. We need them to survive. However, there comes a time for some people when they want to find out what life is all about. Lies and self-deception are the first obstacles if you are on such a quest. Furthermore, if you need to heal psychological issues or addiction, self-deception, lies, and bullshit are severe hindrances.

Fake spirituality, fake religion, and fake philosophy will only be helpful in the fake make-believe world. Kids love to play and fantasize, but there comes a time when they want to drive a real car, not just a toy.
