The Evolved Revolution

It’s time for revolution. 

First off, there is no need for an armed rebellion, but for the United States and us as its people to evolve and survive, it has become necessary for a drastic, but guided polar shift into something that resembles a reflection of the world we are destined to rule. Why should those that are no longer recognizable as our representatives dictate policies and practices that will only affect a world that they will have limited contact with rule over us all?

We are a unified generation of higher level thinkers and problem solvers who are told that we lack experience or credentials to make policy, but in truth we are not a generation, but an evolutionary step forward that requires and must demand a voice of its own. There are fundamental questions that should be addressed and an answers must be extracated in order for light to be shone on the flaws in logic that have somehow become a rallying cry for a deseased, trogladytic populace that has proven it cannot represent us, or even represent its own constituency. These questions are ones that should no longer be hidden in the back of our minds but spoken aloud and often.

I am going to try over the next few weeks to ask these questions and I would truly like others to ask their own, but mostly this is my chance to say what I feel needs being said. I feel that we are on the brink of change and I will damned well try to push that change over to the better in any way, no matter the significance, which I can.

1.     Why does religion make someone, more or less, right and moral?

We are all corruptible and flawed, subject to the same deceptions and personal weaknesses, so a differing theological point of view should be irrelevant. Every religion is just as wrong as they are right and to deny that seems to be the juvenile equivalent of asking which superhero is the best amongst eight year olds. Everyone has a favorite or else they dont follow comics,  but that doesn’t mean we abandon them as tools for the simple minded. Instead we look to the common themes and lessons amongst them to find a unified sense of morality. Murder is wrong, rape is wrong, theft is wrong, but religion should not be needed to define those acts. A theological meeting and discussion to guage who's religion is bigger and more self righteous is not necessary. However, a dialogue should be encouraged especially in our youth as they may finally become the generation that is able to bridge the gap and understand and except one another. That level of communication and understanding is quintessential in order to accept, adopt and adapt our own beliefs to enable their continued presence in a world overtaken by the proof required scientific. There is no perfection, but somewhere amongst all the history, doctrine and anecdotes are pieces of the puzzle, so holding the pieces back from one another serves no one except to cripple that understanding that is necessary for mutual survival. Faith must be questioned as well as believed, there is no need for it to be blind. Help shed light without judgement and we can all see the rainbow created from blood and tears of countless petty spiritual or idealogical wars. That prismic colorful arc shows color across our globe and not just of ethnicity, but of different and expansive thoughts and ideas. Dont we owe it to one another to see if we are missing something?
