hi everyone Michael Lanfield here and
thank you for joining me please do like
this video or rather podcast and let me
talk to you today about why don't trust
science or religion actually in fact I
was just gonna talk about science but
now I want to talk about science and
religion so why I don't trust or why I
don't follow science or religion and the
thing is that's not always true there
are certain scientific studies or there
are certain religions that I do follow
doesn't mean I am part of it or that I
fully agree with everything for the
majority of time I'm talking about
institutionalized science and religion
let me talk about this a little bit so
this podcast video will be a little
lengthy so bear in mind let's first get
into religion because I think religion
is a little bit easier and faster the
deal with or to talk about before we go
into the science so first thing about
religion is that there are yes religions
like Buddhism and Jainism and maybe
Hinduism and a few others that really do
talk about peace and love compassion for
others and so does Christianity I think
it's a part of a bigger picture anyways
I think all religions are part of the
same goal is really to keep people in
fear and to program people here and
there I did take some scriptures and
some teachings from these religions like
Buddhism and Jainism and so forth like
like non-violence like ahimsa and thou
shalt not kill and ten commandments and
Genesis 1:29 and
Genesis 1:30 and things like that but in
the whole context of the it's really
there to confuse people and
- it's still fear in them now if you
really read them for example the Bible
word for word or if you really take the
teachings of Buddhism or Jainism very
seriously you will see that it is really
a vegan a vegan path but their what
they're talking about but don't forget
also that these books and these
religions are thousands of years old and
so a lot of what they're preaching is
obsolete like when we had to sacrifice
and eat animals or when people justify
for example or consuming dairy or
something like that
as in as in Jainism or Buddhism and what
I feel is that religion is just a mirror
of our culture so if our culture is a
hurting culture that sees animal that's
property and food then the religion will
kind of mirror itself to that even
though it may say something different in
the Holy Scriptures religions just
mirror the culture same thing with
science and I'm gonna go into science a
little bit and that is that yeah there
may be some scientific papers and
studies out there that do promote
plant-based and vegan living but in the
whole scheme of things it is a mirror of
our culture which is a hurting culture
now hurting really in a technical sense
means that we we take large animals and
we put them into large groups we confine
them into large groups and but in the
sense of it as in dr. Worrell total
talks about as in her tourism is really
about seeing non-human animals as
property and as food so if our culture
is that and I mean the world culture
because east west all cultures around
the world consume animals and animal
products we need to realize that because
our culture is a hurting culture
everything all the Institute
all the ethics and morality 'z that we
instill in our hearts and that we are
taught through our culture is emulated
or is at least basis of our ethics and
morality is based on herding animals on
seeing animals as property as seeing
animals as food as commodities as things
to be used so we'll never get out of the
mentality we'll ever get to a higher
levels of consciousness because of the
culture so if our culture our base of
our culture does not change our ethics
does not change if we don't see other
animals in a different way if we
continue seeing animals as property then
science and religion will still continue
to be the same even though there may be
few things in science and religion that
many talk about plant-based eating or
vegan living what tends to happen is in
the whole grand scheme of things they're
both still institutions part of our
hurting culture so nothing will ever get
better in a whole scheme of things just
like in politics nothing will ever get
better because it's based on a hurting
culture when we look at life our culture
as a whole and I mean and I don't mean
just like oh there's a Canadian culture
and there's a Indian culture and there's
a Chinese culture and there's a South
African culture and so forth but I
thought what cultural talk about human
culture I mean I'm talking about world
culture and world culture is based on
consuming animals based on seeing other
animals as property and when I say other
animals we're all animals humans are
animals so what I'm trying to get at
here is in a larger picture as we talk
about religion and science as
institutions
I'm not guided by religion or science
when people say well it's a scientific
fact or this or that or or the Bible
says this or whatever you got to look at
the bigger picture
generally most science and most
religions are based off of our hurting
culture and I'm not talking about
religion in a sense of spirituality spur
to some kind of spiritual practice like
when you're talking about Buddhism and
you're really talking about Buddhism as
in the real true definition of Buddhism
which means to not harm and not kill
because really what Buddhism is all
about the teachings of Buddha the
teaching the Buddha is not to harm and
not to kill so when people are following
giving themselves the title of a
Buddhist or Amma Jane or miss on that if
you don't actually practice I begin with
eating or even a fruitarian way of
eating then you're truly not a Jain or
truly not Buddhist because the teachers
like Buddha and Jesus and so forth they
taught compassion they thought love for
all life if you really read it and
understand and decipher each word and
each sentence you will see that yeah it
is a vegan Bible Jainism and Buddhism
they're vegan but then again in the
context of institutionalized religions
as an organized religions they're a part
of a bigger picture which is hurting
hurting of animals hurting culture
that's why I really don't follow
religions and I don't follow science to
the most part because of the fact that
they're just part of this hurting
culture and the only way we're gonna
solve any of our problems in this world
is if we get down to the core of the
issue which is hurting animals that's
what our culture is all about so if we
don't address the underlying cause of
our problems which is hurting animals
nothing will get better and so if we are
ever to get out of the mess that we're
in today we have to understand the
underlying core problem that we
face underlying core problem is seeing
other animals as property seeing them as
food
and understanding that we live in a
hurting culture and ultimately to solve
everything is really to preach the
message of love which is what veganism
and fort arianism is all about is
sharing this message and that's all it
is is unconditional love for all life
trying to cause the least harm that we
can hopefully you found this helpful if
