It is obvious that Christianity gave birth to atheism and ultimately capitalism. Let's all -pretend to- be friends, only the hardest working, toughest smartest assholes will get all the money and will stick together against the poor, only they will get at the top of the pyramid and deserve to enslave others as a result. It's just what other animals do in other animal species, and they dont read a Bible to do what they do. And again as parker mentioned it, in other animal species the weak and old are killed by predators thus purifying the group and strengthening it, bettering the genes. Only in the human specie do we "take care2 of the weak because it gives a salary to people who exploit the old and weak to make a living. We are funny animals arent we.
The funny is all the poors spend their lives trying to understand how the rich and powerful got there, to get there themselves. They hate the riches but whish they could be in their place. They insult and mock rich people when surounded by poor people just like them, but suck the riche people cocks when they re alone with them hoping to raise in the ladder and leaver the other poors behind. Animals. We are.
And the riches just want to keep where they are and will kill everything that's under them without any remorse, knowing full well they re just doing what they re supposed to do as alpha animals.
Still, the deep mechanisms that underlie the whole thing are intrinsically animal ones; kill or getting killed, whatever the way you sugarcoat it. Buddhist monks give nice words to people who feed them in return. They re parasits using dumber people's stupidity to make a living out of it. So do all religious people. That's how they survive.
We are animals before being spiritual, it's our animal brain that generates our thought process and "beliefs", let's keep things in order. And it's all about killing or getting killed, even when you believe in a philosophy, religion etc. you still have to struggle daily to insure your survival. Would you bring a bible in the face of someone who s threatening to kill you or your loved ones?
At the end of the day the one who adapts, survives. The one who doesnt, disappear.
Happiness doesnt exist per se, it's a byproduct of being successful at dominating others instead of being dominated by them. If you want to feel happiness, find how to dominate, control others first. The problem is that we cant control everyone for ever, and that sometimes even the most powerful develop weaknesses, so they have to rely on someone else to keep going on. Everything constantly changes and our only freedom is to keep playing the game and adapt , or getting unadapted and disapear... or to stop playing.
