Have you lost your faith in mankind?

yup. almost daily i think this.

Thousands of years of history should firmly convince anyone that they shouldn't have faith in mankind. What has happened in the past decade or will happen in the next decade has no bearing on that. FORECAST .. MORE OF THE SAME.

You can't lose what you never had in the first place.

I think mankind is not far away from it's next step in evolution, which will bring peace

I haven't, don't give up yet.

"And you may say that I'm a dreamer...."

As hell is breaking loose all over the world right now.

You are right on the money.

Yes, a long time ago. I think we were put here to fail and are doing a kickass job at that.

No need to wish anything like a cosmic event.
I am convinced that we will wipe ourselves in less then a century. Maybe some of us will survive to see the end o' the world as we know it.
We don't learn from the past, so we r craving for our own destruction.

Never had any in the first place..

That's some harsh shit!

Yeah I can see how no matter what we fuck it up. We can't wait for something new to fuck up. Maybe we're just manufactured wrong. I dunno.

What is "wrong"? It's just the way we are. "Ain't nothin' but mammals".

so soon ??

Should i get a bank loan ... ?

hehe, I know it sounds like crap, but it ain't.
Not long ago a renowed scinetist said that we fucked up the planet so much, that there is no turning back. no matter what we do, there is going to be catastrofic repercutions in a 100 years or so, like a new Ice age. Of course when someone PROVES the world will end so soon, everyone disbelieves him, we dont want no panic amongst our sheeps.

even if God himself walked down the street - everyone would be so happy and change their attitude. Now go ahead a few hundred years and everyone once again would forget the incident and say that we were all blind and easily manipulated etc. then go back to exactly the way we are now.

yes, i have, it's a fucked up world but i like it

i thought of that several times. But i pity myself if i die with the Earth.

Never.. I never ran out of reasons to keep living..

I may be an idiot, but I still believe in mankind?s greatness. I still believe that we are capable of doing things that have the ability to dwarf any other accomplishment that we?ve done in the past. I honestly believe that religion is the main reason that we haven?t been able to make great advances in our medical sciences over the past hundred years. Religion is a fundamental evil that we humans, humanity itself, has been forced to deal with for thousands of years now. It was created as a simplistic way to explain common events that our primitive brains could not comprehend. You see a lightning bolt? That?s Zeus throwing his weapon at you, you?ve offended the gods. Instead of working out the event using critical thinking, you instead attribute it to the great unknown, you give in to the believe that there is a force out there much greater than yourself so you believe that that force is what drives your very existence.

Nearly all of the major religions share the same attributes, especially when concerning their version of god or savior. Eventually, religions share another attribute which is the single worst thing that can happen to man: they teach men to be afraid of the great unknown. Question your god?s infallibility? You get to spend eternity in your respective version of hell. Get out of line by trying to invent your way out of a problem, rather than turn to a magical unicorn with a shiny hat? Blasphemy! If we as a species can survive all of the crazed religious zealot fundamentalists of the world in the here and the now, surely religion will eventually fade into utter obscurity and will be remembered by all of our future ancestors as an absurdity.

In essence? I truly believe that the sky is the limit for the human race. We are capable of so much more than what the religious freaks of the world would have you believe. Instead of living for a make believe deity and an afterlife that consists of eating clouds made of marshmallow, we should start living for the here and the now. No.. for our children?s futures, and for their children?s futures, we HAVE to start living for the here and the now. We need to make our world healthy again, we need to better our earth because just face it folks: We don?t have another home. There isn?t a magical land of unicorns when you die. All we have is the here and the now? the legacy we leave behind here today needs to be for our children to have a far better life than we had.

When we look and head towards the future, we should be looking for a way to live with no wars and no famine, with no diseases. If we continue to look to books of pure fantasy to solve all of our answers, will we ever be able to achieve all of this? Will we as a species be able to achieve ANY of this? You can?t be oppressed by religious chains any longer people. Life is just far too short for you to be worried about offending a unicorn wearing a shiny hat. Don?t live your life just to die people. Live your life to live.

Notabook, good points. Yet it's our delusions, fantasies, dreams that set us apart from the other critters and how we manifest them. When they're nightmares they'll manifest too.

Our problem is similar to that fictional sci-fi race 'The Krell' from that classic sci-fi flick 'Forbidden Planet'. They created a massive computer that could make any thought they had come to reality but forgot about their unconcious minds, their IDs, the beastial part of the mind and it too got hold of that giant computer and killed every one of them.

That's what's happening to us but much slower. It all depends on how well we manage the bridge between fantasy and reality.

Very good post. But as far a religion fading into obscurity, as long as human beings fear death, there will always be those who have faith. Personally, I'm not one of them.

Man you are a book!

Go fuck yourself faggot

Some days I think we are lost... everybody is fucked up.

But when you think about it, the world has always been fucked up. This is not a perfect world.

lost it long ago

The thing that brings us down are those people who just can't stand to see someone do better. They make bizarre accusations and sniping comments. Steal like there's no tomorrow. Act like your friend and then soon as they catch you at a weak moment they plunge the knife. What's worse is that they work in groups. That's humanity's downfall, people who are so afraid they attack anything that could help.

I remember winning my first martial arts tournament. I was like 14 going on 15. Just a simple block and kick and dude was down. You would think the teammates would cheer but no. We had this one scumbag on the team who was disrespecting me to the other students. 4 of us out of 9 won our matches and his dumbass pulled a muscle and didn't participate. He blamed everyone else except himself for not exercising. He ended up getting half his ass blown off in 'Nam and no one cared. He died a miserable wreck being a spiteful, hateful fuck til the very end.

I remember he asked me to help him up the stairs in his wheelchair. You know I slipped and his ass went down. He deserved it.

There are really some pieces of shit in the world and they can make you lose any faith you have in mankind.

Why do you get so man over that

When I was just five years old I was brutally ass raped by a copy of Jules Verne?s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Ever since that fateful day I?ve been on a never ending quest to stop books and all the evil that they represent, one flaming library at a time. I?ve killed over 50,000 books so far. Only a few billion more to go and humans will once again be safe from those paperback and hardback terrorists.

Why would your faith be lost for mankind. I know their are people out there that shine so bright I forget about the darkness. It just so happens that that the majority of people are drawn to the dark. But I really don't think it because mankind is bleak but rather we are misdirected. You don't kill your young child for doing as he/she doesn't know any better. I don't see why the same reason would not be the same for mankind. Besides I think your sentiments are really focus on individuals then rather then a whole.

Sylvia Brown today said the world has 95 years left...

i lost faith in mankind a long time ago, you see like a lot of informed people my age I feel as if the people who came b4 me betrayed me, i'm sure you all meant well, but you fucked everything all up......
