Deep in the heart of man lays a secret unknown to common mankind, yet each of our hearts projects this secret through our eyes and ears every day. As we follow this alleged secret, it interferes and begins to take control of our lives. It controls our hearts and enslaves our senses. It becomes us as we sacrifice ourselves. This secret is religion.

Religion is no more than a tool, a weapon of power. The very institutions that claim to teach us of love and kindness are the people who attempt to instill hate and fear in our minds. Who taught us to hate gays? Who taught us to laugh at misfortune? The church controls the center of our deepest focus of feeling. But how is it that the minds of so many have come to hate and have grown unable to think freely? They threaten us with “God’s punishments.”

But who is God? What is one legitimate reason to fall down on our knees and exert all our energy on an invisible magic that splits seas, light a fire without burning, turns water into wine?

There is ancient religion deeply instilled into modern Chinese culture called Taoism. Taoism states that there is an ultimate force that around the world is referred to as many deities from the Ancient Greeks’ Zeus to the modern interpretation of God and Jesus. It says that these are all synonyms for one simple thing: a force that controls all. This is accurate but not entirely true. Religion itself is only a point in space, a point in time. I would tell you religion is nothing, but “nothing” is not a word perfect enough to describe this. Religion is quite limitless, in reality. So from here on in, this is my religion.

This religion consists of the simplest form of reality. In a sense, it has zero dimensions.

I hereby state that this religion in itself is limitless. There is no time constraints, no beliefs. But I refrain from describing it as complete freedom because in its freedom is utter slavery. It is the ultimate neutral ground. It is neither positive nor negative. It is a point in space, neither in our dimension nor in any other dimension. Because it is nowhere, though, it is everywhere.

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is the most fundamental aspect of this religion. In this world direct neutrality is impossible, so intead to create what simple neutrality is necessary for perfection we can manipulate opposites that cancel each other out. So refer to this: (1)+(-1)

Take note to the fact that this religion is not perfect. It is the indescribable in neutrality. There is no word in the English language, or any other language for that matter, that can describe this accurately. It is the definition of nothing, it is the definition of everything, but “nothing” is not perfect enough to describe it. So for now it remains nameless.

It is zero.
Life and death are not opposites.
