God can live without us...but why did It created us
then? So we can worship It? Then if It needs our worship,it can't live
without us.Why do I refer to God ans It? Very easy, God is not a he, nor a she, it has no form, it is energy, thus it is It

Today I took the plunge and signed off Facebook. Why did I commit such an act of sacrilege? Simple, Facebook sucks, its overrated and is full of gas, or full of people full with a lot of gas. The same kind of gas we find in a methane plant.
Main reasons why I quit Facebook?
1-It is overrated, like a belly button, every one's got one.
2- My friend's constant rants about the economy and how this country is going straight to hell due to lack of conservative values. This is a guy who thinks to have all the economic solutions of the Nation. If that was the case what is he doing still selling tickets for an airline as a ticket agent at a major airport during the last 24 years? The same guy, just because he visited NASA a couple of times with his kid, pretends to be an aerospace engineer or an astrophysicist. No wonder he has been dumped, I mean, divorced twice.
3- My wife's niece who thinks she has Jesus Christ grabbed by his balls. Grow up!! The universe does not spin around you! She sees herself as the next Selena Gomez.
4- My daughter's constant broadcasting of every single detail of her life, including when she has arguments with us (her parents) for any little stupid thing that crosses her mind. Grow up dear, I love you, but there is something called privacy that you should begin treasuring dear. I do, reason why I signed off. This is a child who has over 1,000 Facebook friends. Really? Friends?
I guess the word friend is also overrated, thank you Facebook.
5- I got tired of family members and friends showing off their so called perfect lives so everyone who knows them, and those who don't, get to know how good they are having it. Nice show, but for those of us with a little bit of modesty, we know it is just an elaborated act to keep up with social appearances and a bottomless thirst of competing against each other.
6- Social media sucks, yes, I said it, Facebook, twitter, instagram etc, they all suck. They have made our lives become cheap versions of the Truman Sow.
7- I got better things to do with my spare time, like venting out on this blog. And anyone who has ever seen this blog knows I don't tend to post much stuff after all. Why? Precisely because I got better things to do with my life and time.
8- Coworkers who not only after spending 8 stinking hours of their lives in our hell hole office together, want to tag each other and post likes and poke each other online. Sickening.
9- Did I mention my own vain attempts to post positive philosophical and spiritual messages to try to influence the aforementioned pack of social-media butterflies into remembering that life is short, and we should strive and do our best to be better human beings and care more for each other, because in the end, G-d does not give a damn about where you spent your vacations, how cool your newest car is, or how cool you think you are for being cool, or how many posts, tweets, likes, followers and crap like that you get. Yes, that too. I got tired of my own futility.
Any typographical errors are meant to show you how human I am. :)

ORIGINS OF RELIGION...MAN MADE!!!
OK, so here is my first post of the year.
Religions are man made, G-d did not invented religions, men, just like you and me did. Mankind is the most intellectually curious creature on the phase of earth. If you don't believe me, just take a peek at the advances of modern medicine, nuclear energy, physics, computer sciences and aerospace engineering.
Religions were made out of our own curiosity when we could not explain natural phenomena. Of course, I will see the occasional argument about G-d revealing himself to Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and the classic argument from my fellow Jews that Judaism is the only religion revealed to an entire nation. Of course, none of my fellow Jews has been able to logically explain me how come if G-d revealed Itself (I wrote Itself, because G-d has no form, not human form, although the Torah is filled with a god with too many human traits like anger) why, if G-d indeed revealed Itself to at least 600,000 people and as many as 3 million as my fellow Jews claim, there are no more accounts of such grandiose events other than those from Moses and his clan? I see no difference between this account and the other alleged revelations as long as there are no other sources to corroborate it. What was the problem? A literacy problem? Moses was the only one who could read and write? Really? Out of at least 600 thousand and as much as 3 million people? Are you serious? Lets face it, Moses wrote the Torah and all the 613 commandments to give a set of laws of morality, economic, social and ethic behavior to a nation that had the notoriety of having a short fuse and lack of patience. LAWS of conduct for the sake of argument.
G-d never had the need for us to sacrifice animals for his appeasement or as offerings. G-d is BIGGER than that, pretending to accept by blind faith that G-d asked from men sacrifices is attributing G-d with human traits of demand and satisfaction. G-d does not need sacrifices, and never needed them. Moses made that up, maybe he thought he was being inspired by G-d, but that is not the same as being inspired by a faith in a god. By making those sacrifices and following the new set of 613 rules or laws, the people would be able to show obedience, respect, deference an some sort of civility.
The moment we divorce our minds from the man made concept of G-d and sacrifices, let it be human (the death of Jesus washing mankind's sins) or animal (the ritualistic sacrifices at the Temple) and the blind belief that G-d had to confide his secrets to a select few (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism etc) or to an entire nation (Judaism, that no one else can account for other than the writer of the Torah), then at that moment we separate ourselves from such man made beliefs, we will understand the ultimate true concept of G-d and the laws of the universe that we live in.
I am sorry I have to part ways with my religion this way, but I have no other choice but to follow my conscience, which is based on reasoning and logic, not blind faith on man made sociocultural clubs.
I am a Jew of logic and reasoning, based on science and facts, not blind superstitious faith on man made rituals. G-d is ABOVE and BEYOND such things.
