Most religions are pretty closed minded.

You got to wear the funny hat, or you get no respect.

The great thing about the religious is that they don't question the funny hats, and easily accept most remotely possible explanations.
They are quaint like that.

But you, dear reader, and me, we think a little different.

We need a religion that can be demonstrably proven to exist.
If your religion doesn't explain what you see, and doesn't predict what could happen, what good is it?

So, in pursuit of that.
What I need you to do is create a list.
You can do it on paper, you can do it in a pdf document.
Either way, record every negative term you can think of.

Here are a couple on my list:

Steal
Rob
Pillage
Plunder
Violently dominate others

You get the idea.

I'll wait.

Now, I want you to make a list of all the good terms you can think of.

Here are a couple of mine:

Help
Heal
Nurture
Create

Now, your's.

Alright, now on the page make a line from the left to the right.

Label the left side evil, or bad, or negative, whatever.
On the right, good, positive.

Now, in the middle make a mark and call it neutral.

If you picture this line graph as a gradient scale you can presume all life to fit on it.
Ultimate evil to the left, ultimate good to the right.

Somewhere on this line is you, me, Mohammad Ali, Hitlary, and any other person that has ever lived.

Presumably your place, and mine, on the line is to the left of Mohammad Ali.
Not many of us do time in the big house for our belief in freedom.
Very few of us lay it all on the line.

You probably fall to the right of Pol Pot, Hitlary, and Poppy Bush, collectively responsible for the democide of 100's of millions of people.

So, you got that going for you.

You are not Caligula.
You probably haven't killed even one person.

What should you take away from this new purview?

If you are doing things from the left side of neutral, you are batting for the wrong team.
