Religion and Devotion

The purpose is Fractal Hopping. To devote oneself wholeheartedly to something, is to attempt to make it timeless. True devotion comes with true righteousness. However, the distinction between righteous and right must be made, to have real clarity. Simply put, one that is devoted will push toward the desires of the one whom is devoted towards. Devotion works essentially the same no matter the devotee or that which is devoted to. I find the religions are any collection of people who choose to be fully devoted to one or many of these together. This tends to be filed under the realm of order; where everything not part of the group is in the way(and in a sense are destructive). As a reaction, the leftover peoples are considered chaotic, and through symbiosis can be creative. Good and evil do not exist in this play but nonetheless, each side chooses their own as the voice of good, and decides the other is the voice of evil.

The real confusion arises however when one understands that you can devote yourself to any godform, man, state, animal, planet, star, or even a concept. Who is really "right" when you have devotees of "goodness" fighting against devotees of "truth", or the "Sun God" vs the "Moon God". Possibly the most confusing of all is when you have people who devote themselves to concepts of life, death, creation, destruction, order, chaos, good, evil.

Unfortunately all devotion does is Fractal Hopping, it allows ideas to change their timescale from that of a human to that of a community, or nation, or planet. A devoted man teaches their children to be devoted, then their children's children, so that their devotion can be passed on through the centuries. When a culture of children is given an idea to cherish early in life, it has dramatic outcomes on the world, that noone could predict.
