Annihilation : Almost

“Yes. My benefactors ….. your benefactors ….. the ones you call GODS. They had left your planet in your hands about six millennia ago after giving you the gift of life, after giving you the power of thought, after giving you the gift of language, after teaching you the philosophy of life, the science behind creation of life from the five basic materials, the concept of Energy and of creation; believing that since you had been equipped with all that knowledge, you would be able to maintain your world and progress through ages to an even better life. But, instead of improving your life and progressing on the path of realization, the path of knowledge, you went ahead and took to the path of war and destroyed whatever they had created …...” “They? Who are you referring to? You said GODS. Are you actually trying to tell us that you were given life by GODS? Are you trying to joke at such a time?” I asked. “No. I wasn't given life by GODS. The ones who gave me life are referred by all of you as GODS. Your concepts about GOD are wrong and are meant to satisfy your needs. You need someone to blame for your problems, you need someone to give you false hopes and beliefs, you need someone to lean on in times of hardship as you do not believe in facing your hardships with your inner strength, you need someone because you are too lazy and too dumb to go further on the path of knowledge and find out the real answers. Someone gave you a false notion three millennia ago and you stopped your quest for truth and stuck to that notion of GOD. And, it’s funny to see that despite the fact that you have dozens of religions in the world with dozens of different concepts about GOD and the fact that there isn't one single belief on which all of those concepts would agree on, you have failed to realize the inherent fault in those concepts that you have accepted as your religions. It is surprising how you do not realize that religion is a human concept, a concept created by some humans to gather people into a herd, a herd that would listen to those few humans and would believe that the path they are being led on is the correct path without using their own mind and thought. You keep fighting amongst yourselves about the truth behind your origin, about the origin of life and of the universe. Some try and give answers by using their short – sighted approach of religion while others try and explain it by scientific assumptions. For me, both are laughable. Do you wish to know how human life originated on this planet? And, do you wish to know why they gave life to me?”
