ACCIDENTS OF BIRTH

MOST PEOPLE PRESENTLY EXISTING ON THIS PLANET CALLED 'EARTH' ARE ACCIDENTS OF B IRTH, THE RESULTS OF LUST,PASSION, AND SEXUAL INTERCOURSE OF SOME KIND, but a vast majority all consider themselves 'created by God' or 'divine specimens', completely unique, the apex of 'creaton', the 'topmost', the 'utmost',etc. Many people spend time attempting to make 'sense' of the 'senseless' or 'sense' of 'NON-sense' or delve into a set of religious writings, as edifying and interesting as such may be, to justify their existence, to explain man's inhumanity to man, as well as to all forms of life, and to explain and/or relieve their anxieties that arise when confronted by 'evils', 'contradictions' or 'diverse' cultures. Reams of various scriptures are quoted and misquoted to explain whey God allows things to happen in the way they do happen and why mankind 'suffers', why mankind 'sins', why misery,strife, poverty, wars, and all kinds of things that do not meet everyone's approval exist! Arguments and dissertations abound on why God doesn't answer the prayers of everyone and anyone who appeals to Him, under whatever name is applied to whatever notion(s) one has of "GOD'. These believers reject the simple explanation that 'THERE IS NO GOD' that most ahteists and some agnostics put forth and prefer a rather UNCLEAR,jumbled and superstitious metaphysic that GOD DOES ALL IN HIS OWN GOOD TIME and will impose a VAST JUDGMENT designed to 'SEPARATE THE GOATS FROM THE SHEEP", believing, of course, that the 'goats'(with horns and cloven hooves) will go to HELL(for eternity) and the 'sheep' will enter HEAVEN(for all eternity)-NOT REALIZING,of course, that both goats and sheep are 'FOOD' and both are destined for slaughter! The terms 'sheep' and 'goats' are not to be taken literally but if you 'get someone's goat' what does that mean? It is an old expression. The 'scapegoat' either released into the wilderness or 'sacrificed' is the COUNTERPART of'the Lost Sheep' or 'the sacrificial LAMB' of ancient religions. 'SHEEP' & 'GOATS' multiply, reproduce and 'HERD'-their behaviour is often analogous to s0-called 'HUMAN BEHAVIOUR'. Masses of mankind, of course, have been slaughtered and massacred through the centuries for all kinds of reasons-but initially perhaps to serve as food-since cannibalism is still with us, as are a lot of other human institutions like: headhunting,piracy,slavery, tatooing,witchcraft,human sacrifice, etc.
