Universal Catechism

(6)

I would like to propose an alternative to Catechism. If you remember your catechism you remember that God created you '...to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him, and to be happy with Him forever in this life and the Next Life.'

This is nonsense. We need to replace this nonsense with reality. Only then will the Human Species have a sporting chance to cope with the real challenges which confront us all. We need to create a New Catechism for Humanity. What might that new catechism be? Here is a suggestion as to how it might begin:

Q: Why do I exist?
A: Nobody really knows.
Q: How did I get here?
A: Sexual reproduction.
Q: What should I do?
A: Live well.
Q: How shall I live well?
A: Be true.
Q: What is Truth?
A: Understanding.
Q: Understanding what?
A: Understanding Everything.
Q: What is Everything?
A: We do not yet have an answer for that question.
Q: Is it really true that I will eventually die like a dog?
A: That is true.
Q: And I will never return?
A: So far as we know you will never return.

I recommend this Universal Catechism. Teach it to your children before Kindergarten.
