On the Superiority of the Naturally Transcendent: How Religious Spirituality Ineffably Limits the Infinite

The false and meretricious offerings of the supernatural are plain when referred to the pursuit of knowledge. The idea that faith and invocations of spirituality retain a monopoly on the euphoric is absurd, and embarrassingly easy to discredit. The false solace of faith renders its adherents ecstatic - at the notion of not being able to question and/or remotely decipher the nature of the Godhead. This admission is obscene, and advocates to not only accept irresistible ignorance, but to revel in it and champion its cause. 

There is a strong tendency for many people to concede the human imagination is limitless - although invigorating and partially true, it is in direct contrast with the preachment of religion. The consolations offered and happiness derived from skepticism are valid and honorable contributions to inquiry. Musing at the fortune and convenience of our presence in the erratic behavior of nature is indescribably more valuable than presupposing one's place as the object of a predetermined divine itinerary. In addition, the simultaneous experience of sobering humility along with the paradoxical corollary of the recognition of the supremacy of human reason and inquiry is nothing short of sublime. This prideful nobility will always supersede the servile ignorance and false modesty attributable to the faithful. There can be no discovery of one's happenstance existence and ancillary invocation of intellectual curiosity, if one adopts a mentality that promotes sufficiency of knowledge and condemns further speculation. 

Their metaphysical claims and backward teachings are dishonest and will forever be the enemy of truth, beauty and wisdom. Rather presumptuously yet indirectly, they discourage appreciation and harmony drawn from the natural realm, lest one be accused of idolatry or paganism. Worship, submission, and credulity fulminate and nurture fear, while demonizing reason and dialectical honesty. The provisions of the supernatural are concocted and false; they will forever be the subordinate offspring of arrogant insularity. The beauty and substance of nature and its indifference to our vitality will always create elegance in thought and written word. To reject this turgid gift is not only a grave error, but inadvertently disrespects the donor. In a cruel irony, the indifference of nature will deprive someone of their growth both physically and intellectually - if you too heavily dispute reality and substitute it with monolithic tales of the spiritual. 

Value nature for what it is and do not take your place in it for granted - as mammals, of course.
