Atheism

Atheism:

I will talk about the existence of another plane of existence. A plane not controlled by mere humans but a plane controlled by a greater force. An intelligence beyond that of a human...

The law of physics is: For every action there is an opposite (action). If this is true, which scientists have proven again and again, then there must be another plane of existence. This life cannot be..."it". My reasons for this conclusion are as follows:

Dying is an action. If you’re chronically ill then it is a slow action. The heart gradually decreases it’s beats and eventually stops. If a person were to die in a car accident, the same process could take place for them to perform the action of dying but a large percentage of deaths in car accidents, the person dies very fast but it is still the action of dying. If the law stated above is indeed correct and has been proven again and again, then another action is taking place elsewhere when you die. The opposite of death of course, is living.
If our body ceases to function in this realm of existence, we’re not suddenly living in some other place on the planet after we die. We are leaving this plane of existence and entering another... Henceforth when we die, we begin living in a different realm of existence if the above law of course, is correct which, once again, has been proven over and over. This leads to the conclusion that the existence we know, is controlled, manipulated if you will, by someone or something else. This reason is supported by the fact that we, as man, are still trying to figure out the Universe. We aren’t controlling it. Man did not create another plane of existence because we hardly understand our own. We haven’t even stepped foot on Mars yet. This leads to the question: "Who or what is controlling our plane of existence?"

Clearly this being is not human, at least the definition of human as we know it. The being is beyond us all. I do not pretend to know about the other plane of existence for I have not experienced it. But I do know a few things about the existence in which I am living. If this higher being can create another plane of existence then clearly he is in control of his plane. This being must have learned control over his elements before he could have moved on to ..s for another realm. My reasoning for believing he mastered his elements are as follows:

Eliot Spitzer, the former Governor of New York, was known for busting prostitution rings. This could be said to be his trademark. He served from 2007 to recent 2008. The reason for such a short term was that he was caught in a prostitution ring himself. When the people of New York learned of this they demanded immediate resignation or suffer impeachment. Spitzer resigned and lost his authority.

This same authority applies to the laws of this higher being. (Not that I’m saying this higher being is acting in these terrible things or in any way saying Spitzer is like this higher being.) This higher being has law that must be followed just as Spitzer was supposed to follow the laws placed down. If this being were to break a law layed down then he would cease to be the higher being and would lose all authority because the law is in control. This being follows the laws and if he does not... he will be "impeached" by the law, for laws set in stone can not be ignored. (Such as the Law of Gravity) Spitzer lost all authority and was unable to complete those things on which he was working. If this higher being were to break a law he would lose all authority and lose his influence on this realm of existence and would be unable to add to it. (Clearly this Universe is nowhere near finished, assuming it is supposed to be finished eventually, because scientists witness knew galaxies created every day.) If this being were to lose his influence and authority over this realm, the Universe would cease to exist and there would be nothing because this higher being controls this realm as well as his own. How this being reached this point is unknown and is trivial.

"How can I believe something I don’t understand." You might ask. If that's the case, how can anyone believe a bee can fly? No one on the face of the planet understands why. Every property a bee has should be enough for it not to fly and yet it does. Every person on the planet believes and knows it does. Everyone believes that and no one understands it.

Everyday, man is participating in something he does not understand. These things which man does not usually understand tend to be part of a law set in place by something other then himself. The things he understands but don't match his fancy are turned off and forgotten about. Such as God. A man does not want to feel guilty about doing something wrong so he chooses which parts of morality that please him and dismiss the rest as nonsense. Any part of morality is not nonsense. Every part has meaning and the human race picks and chooses which to follow and which to not. This is why so many deny there is a God: People feel guilty about what they've done and find excuses for why there is no God and morality is something put on us by society. That is simply not true. God or this higher being exists and has impressed upon every soul the value of morality because it is the law that this higher being follows.
Now for everything in a nutshell. I have covered why there is another plane of existence, why there must be a higher being in everything, what would happen if this higher being were to break a law and why people dismiss God and morality.

I would love to hear from anyone about their opinion on this matter, either good or bad. Thanks for reading!

Wow Chase. I really don't know what to say yet, having just finished this. You bring up so many ideas and points. I agree with much of what you said and I am amazed that my "little" brother can write something like this.

Truly amazed.

Atheism is a very interesting topic of conversation and I had fun reading your post. While I agree that your conclusion of why some choose to be Atheist is insightful, I must say that I have definitely seen additional circumstances.

I believe Atheism to be the result of one or a combination of the following; 1) Indolence, which encompasses your conclusion 2) lack of spiritual experience 3) the inability to trust or embrace feelings, emotion, or spiritual experiences, creating an imbalance and causing them to rely solely on logic or tangible evidence or 4) disgruntlement, because a person is unable to reconcile experiences to their understanding of religion.

I sure there are many unique circumstances that would prompt an individual to choose Atheism as their belief, but I think most reasons fundamentally come down to one of the above. What do you think?
