On this savage planet, the animal imperative is to eat, spawn, die— to enforce your DNA against all others, to increase your life-force type, and put it in control.

The red ants and black ants are perfect examples of the tyranny of DNA competition– to see them at war over territory and resources is a vicious spectacle.

But to see humans at war is far worse than ant wars. To see cruelty on such a colossal scale is beyond imagining. Yet on the web, we can see it daily.

Politicians twist the tenets of religions to serve the purposes of tyranny. And great prophets work to reverse those wrongs.

It is no wonder that the great religious movements of the world arose out of such heartbreaking disasters.

In such a terrifying world of uncertainty, many need a solid belief system, and seek solace in faith, where many gather, together believing in a far greater power. They seek faith in a supreme being, benevolent and compassionate. And they want others to share their belief system— in order to make this imperfect world a better place to live.

Every religion stress peace and harmony and love of your fellow beings. Every religion sets rules of moral justice. And every religion appoints leaders to study its written directives, often called scriptures, or sacred texts.

Ministers or priests conduct religious worship ceremonies. They perform many rituals and spiritual functions, associated with the beliefs and practices of their religious faith or denomination. And they are trained to provide individual spiritual and moral guidance and assistance to members of their faith, and to all others in need.

Chances are, somewhere in your life up till now, you were influenced by religion… you were influenced by a representative of religion.

They might have been labeled many things— Priest, Pastor, Mullah, Monk, Pandit, Minister, Chaplain, Evangelist…

Here is what they were trained to do, for you:

• Pray and promote spirituality.
• Read from sacred texts such as the Bible, Torah, or Koran.
• Prepare and deliver public sermons and prayers.
• Organize and lead regular religious services.
• Share information about religious issues by writing articles, giving speeches, or teaching.
• Instruct people who seek conversion to a particular faith.
• Counsel individuals and groups concerning their spiritual, emotional, and personal needs.
• Visit people in homes, hospitals, and prisons to provide them with comfort and support, and serve in medical missions.
• Train leaders of church, community, and youth groups.
• Administer religious rites or ordinances, and assist the homeless and unwanted.

To serve such needs is the ultimate altruism. But what knowledge must be required?

How did they gain this training, this amazing array of gifted knowledge?

They studied.

They learned. They educated.

They worked hard under teachers (who had worked hard under their own teachers, back into the generations of teaching of their religion).

They studied in the colleges and seminaries and temples of their faith. They learned to help the sick and poor, the unwanted, the orphaned and the lost.

It is on them to offset the terrible momentum of mankind’s bestial greed and warlike cruelty.

If you wish to learn, if you feel the calling to a religious sense of purpose, inquire at the church or temple of your choice, or use the online links here to begin to answer your questions.

Many institutions are open to you. Many degree programs await you. The religions hunger for you.

Investigate them thoroughly, and be certain you have chosen well. Be sure your choice reflects your own personal beliefs. Your future depends upon it.

Then… educate, educate, educate!
