Response to Religion

Actually - I don't think trees worship the sun or the ground - they probably have a much better handle on this existence thing than most humans.


That is exactly the point...worship is a motivator. Trees have their existence better handled because they are motivated only to grow closer to the sun. They have only that bit of coding in them. Humans got brains and our motivations became more complex. With that complexity comes responsibility. I admit my motivations wouldn't suit everyone. But I also work to weaken my motivations that do others harm. It is within humanity to push our motivations and our responsibility to do so wisely. So be a human because you're not a tree. Trees have it easy.
