About Me

After many years of thinking and soul searching, I would like to invite you to join my journey. Please help me find the answers I have not yet found and allow the ones I have to enlighten your life. Many people rebelled against religion, some for ideological reasons and others for emotional reasons. I was raised religious and wanted to run away; I failed. I am deeply connected with a religion and it came through deeper understanding rather than vice versa. I still disagree with many people who share my faith as to the correct motivations for our religion. I am as anti-religion as a religious man can get. I believe religion is the root to all evil.

Where does guilt come from?

What’s the natural purpose of guilt? If someone does an evil action why should they feel bad? Can they change it? Let’s use an extreme case, someone murders and immediately committs suicide.

It’s your fault? So what?

If there is a super-natural plain, perhaps they are hurting their loftier self by doing evil?

If the world is natural, the only explanation I could think of is, we evolved with guilt in order to maintain order amongst our kind. If that is the case, shouldn’t guilt come before the act? Why does guilt come after an irreversible action? Did we evolve with a glitch?

In my soul search I often imagine human evolution. When it comes to guilt I just don’t see where is belongs. Survival of the fittest means your fitter if you outlive someone. Shouldn’t it make you happy that someone else is dead?
