If you want to be included in my non-religion, you must first concede to universal ignorance. You must be willing to admit that there are things out there that we as humans will never be able to fully explain, define or control. In order to accept a harmonious median between a living a life of plain truths and hoping for an existence of an unimaginable glory... a leap of faith into the unknown as well as a respect of everything left behind is absolutely necessary. It is never a wise move for a blind frog to just jump from one lily pad to another when he can just as easily shimmy his way over one careful step at a time.
The second point my non-religion stands by, is the importance of confidence in individuality. You must never be afraid to hold dearly onto everything you value as worthwhile. Not a single person alive has the right or the ability to take your beliefs away from you unless you first bestow that power unto them yourself. But since you believe in the possibility of possibility, then you also believe in the possibility that you can be wrong. So you too do not have the right to tell others that what they believe is wrong any more than they do to you. Every last one of us lives on the same planet and we have all earned the same exact prerogative to make up our own damn minds.
Yes, it’s simplistic. But it is also quite crucial to the transition from merely searching for truth and actually getting to see a glimmer of it in actuality. With this tiny statement nothing is compromised or put at risk. If it is true, then it will be the part of the truth that you first stumbled across and treasured as an incredible discovery. If it is not true, and not all things make sense, then we were all already doomed to failure in the first place way before we even set out looking for the answers to our spiritual curiosity. Either everything makes sense, or the fact that we think so is impossible to irrationalize.
There you have it! The three building blocks (and 3 main commandments) used to start forming a Gregory-approved non-religion off of. As long as you keep track of what you believe in, and can abstain from forcing others to agree with you… then you’ll have my blessing and my congratulations on becoming a much better person than so many have willfully chosen not to become. The disrespectful and self-righteous idiosyncrasies of the religious world have such menacing clutches that it’s a wonder how any of us make it through adolescence in one unscathed and uncorrupted piece.
Thank you all for visiting Gregory’s mind.
Y'all come back now!
Just to make it even more disgustingly obvious... this was a visitation into MY mind, not yours. If you have a problem accepting my right to my own beliefs please feel free to consider yourself uninvited from ever visiting my mind ever again.
