[Mr. Nobody]

Brief comments to IC:
Where do you draw the line of consciousness? Planet, plant, primate? Who deserves the label of self aware? My dog which recognices herself in the mirror, or the chimp we elected president?
Look around! Where do you find this counsciousness? Where is it located? Can it be found outside ones body? Can I have a proven communication with one devoid of the physical body it resides?

Is it not more logical to assume that since we rose from dust and return to dust, that we are nothing more than dust? Dust that recognized a pattern in the sand, and through evolution learned to use this knowledge to hunt, gather, cultivate, procreate and survive. Once dust realized the patterns of life and its distinction from its surroundings, it learned of better ways to thrive such as tribes and societies, but dust also learned of death and an end to all good things. The end needs a beginning, birth, resurrection and on the saga goes. Fear of death, the survival instinct created a beginning for a reason, a purpose to and for all, a supreme being that will right all wrongs and a god that will reward the good and punish the bad. In order to support the society and the survival of your tribe, your support group, the super organism, sometimes demands sacrifices from the you, but it is all good, since you have been tought to know of a god, a god to welcome you for all the good you did. So don't worry, go to work, pay your taxes, keep the order and feed the machine. Rituals of prayer, feelings of the commune, the belonging, all designed to subjugate the you to what we call civilization......
Don't misunderstand me, I do not object to being another cog in the wheel, another contributing member of society, I play by the rules, but I know why and I make a counscious decision to serve and to support the super organism, the machine, but I don't glorify it and I don't worship my counsciousness as something devine.

I see a cosmos that grew eyes an ears to see and hear itself......nothing more, no creator, as energy always existed in some form or other and never was created
