Third World Countries

A man moved to Mumbai, India and built a really nice house. Due to the lack of bathrooms, many people from the city pissed on the man’s house. The man was very upset since it smelt so bad. He decided to build a wall around his home. After it was built, the people started pissing on his wall and that too started to smell. He asked a wise man what he should do to solve his problem. The wise man said to have images of gods painted on the wall. The man did just that and ever since then no one ever pissed on his wall.

A third world country was defined by NATO during the Cold War as a place that was socially, politically and economically different than the First World. Basically, they are considered the “poorer” countries. I want to discuss how religion in these countries causes pain, starvation, overpopulation disease and other problems that appear to have no solution.

 

First, the people in these countries need to understand that they are controlled by people who simply enjoy power. Those leaders make sure their people remain dumb by spreading ignorance like religion and other forms of propaganda. They preach the idea that beliefs are facts. They proclaim that everything has already been written by God’s hand, so no matter what someone does, it won’t make a difference.  They also teach the idea that ignorance is bliss, so what you don’t know won’t hurt you.

Throughout history, leaders have killed those who they perceive as smart so they don’t get any bright ideas of revolution or anything like that. Stalin and the Turks did this for example. They are still doing variations of this today.

These religions completely blind people from the reality of life. I have a friend named Gar who says that his religion, Hinduism, is the best than any other religion because they have the freedom to believe in whatever gods they want. He’s very proud of this fact because he believes this constitutes real independence. He’s so busy in believing his fantasies that he does not see the truth around him. Gar’s completely lost touch with the reality that people in India are diseased and dying from starvation and overpopulation. If he would understand the difference between believing and knowing, then he could make a real difference in his country and stop all the nonsense. I’m talking about real awareness that religion simply does not allow.

The big problem most third world countries have is their governments are controlled by religion. America is fortunately not controlled by any one religion. We have separation of church and state. A man who believes he has the right to several wives will go to jail in this country because that is illegal. On the other hand, a man in a third world country can kill another man if it justifies his religion. The government cannot do anything since they recognize that religion. Basically, religion rules over government whereas in America, government rules over religion. People need to understand that moral people make moral laws, laws don’t make moral people.

The mobs in those countries have more rights than the individual.  Look at what happened to Galileo and others throughout history. Because they went against a government whom follows religious doctrine, they were persecuted for it. Where was the government to protect them? When a government is run by religion then people have carte blanche to be as violent and dangerous as they want to serve whatever crazy fantasy they wish.

Third world countries don’t have time to make real changes because they are busy feeling sorry for themselves. Most religions have a day of atonement for people who feel guilty for no reason at all. They have to fast, beat themselves up, or do whatever sick thing it is to make themselves feel better. You cannot be creative if you feel guilty about yourself. You have to be proud of yourself and life in order to do something positive.

Don’t expect people around the world do something about overpopulation, starvation, disease, slavery, and climate change, until they take off their blindfold otherwise they will get run over and won’t be able to see these problems coming. They expect their God to come and help out, but people have to challenge life, that’s doing the real service.

People see freedom of religion as a positive thing, which it is in this country but it’s not the same in third world countries. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom of the mind. It is just freedom of ignorance. People need freedom of the mind to think for themselves so they can have fair rights, the ability to be creative and not follow some ignorant system. It does not matter if you are from a third world country.

People from third world countries go to “civilized” countries to learn to be doctors and engineers. The latest technological advances are always in “civilized” countries because they have the opportunity to think for themselves and be creative.

I’m an example of what can happen when someone is in a free thinking society. I came to America from a third world country because of the freedom. I invented the first sail surfboard named The Sail-Surfer (Patent # .3.422.778 on January 21, 1969. Patent # .3.956.785 May 18, 1976) which inspired the Windsurfer.  I invented the first standup paddle board called The Multi Banana Boat in 2005 which inspired the Paddle Board C. I invented the first habitat fish tank (Patent # .4.323.032) and the first therapeutic electric stimulation object (Patent #.4.173.229) and others just to name a few.

Today, we see a movement in America called Occupy Wall Street where people are thinking for themselves . The occupiers do not have leaders for a reason. A leader is someone that moves forward while the rest follow, but when people think for themselves, they don’t need a leader, they need a representative. Religious people in third world countries follow priests, rabbis, mullah’s, etc. These leaders are blind and lead their people to a place of imagination.

 

In life, for every action there is a reaction; that is called physics. I know I am in this body; that is called consciousness. Therefore, there is a power in the universe that put forward this consciousness. You can call it God if you like, that’s what people have been calling it for centuries. Everybody agrees with physics, facts and truth. They are the foundation for mathematics and science. There is NO knowing in believing because believing does not mean knowing.

Mathematics was invented by the Greeks, but it wasn’t going anywhere because they did not have the numerals that we have today. The numeral system was invented by the Muslims, guys sitting at a coffee shop listening to each other and having intelligent conversation. At the time, these Muslims were able to think for themselves.

         

The meaning of life is to give life meaning. You don’t need pictures of gods. You don’t need preachers. What you need is a freedom of the mind. Keep the conversation in what you know is factual so we can have a better life and a better world for all.
