A couple delusions that are also funny.
The first delusion, when you see what it actually says, is pretty funny.

Where you are, or what you have justifies where you are or what you have.

There are people that think everything is perfect, and the reason they can have anything, or be anywhere, is becuase they are suppose to be there, then use that to justify having whatever they have.

Instead of saying that it is great to have, and then using that to help someone, they use having something to justify them doing what they want by saying having it proves they should have it.

That is the belief that someone is better off becuase they are suppose to be.

Not everyone is like that of coarse, but that slides into the other delusion.

Some believe people that are well off, were born that way not by accident but by reward of past generations, or by reward of the spirit born into someone. The idea that where you are born into is a judgment of either someone else, or part of you that was someone else.


If it is true that you are rewarded, or punished by the actions of someone else, then existence is not just, and people don't matter, only some ends far down many generations would matter. That existence would be from something that does not care about people, only multiple generations for some effect. By presumption that is an effect of a better person, but how could you say that when the thing that would decide that would not care about the individuals over many generations with justice and compassion during that process.

If a person is punished for sins of the father, then that shows injustice against an individual, and how could someone that does not care about the justice for people guide things to some better situation for people.

If a person is punished for sins of the father, then they as an individual, are not treated justly, and what future generational effect would the deciding thing want, if that thing can not treat people justly.

So generational sin can not be argued to be just, or from something that is just.

I think generational sin is the simple statement, if you mess up, it will be harder to raise your children in better ways, not some supernatural punishment over generations.



If you believe part of you, is also part of your ancestor, that is even a longer topic. It spins into some despair doctrines that I will ignore, but if you think that becuase someone else did something, you deserve something, does that really make sense.



There is a belief people are rewarded by being reborn in better circumstances. If that is true, then what is thought 'better' by what would decide that could be calculated. And you could see a trend where some people were better by how they were born.

But is it the better group born into an easy life, or the better born into a life with some challenges where they can help many people. Is it the better born into a coasting life of luxury, or a life of many challenges with many things to learn from and many ways to make things better.

How would you know what is better? By how the world judges? and which parts of the worlds? So there is no way to know that maybe those born into easy lives need it a bit easier, and those born into harder circumstances many times can handle those things and make things better. What if born into luxury was mercy for the weak?

My point is that when thinking on those things, there are ways to see inconsistencies, that can lead you to ask is it right to judge different groups by the ease of their life, would it be true that someone born with more 'have' is suppose to. Or maybe they are being given an easier opportunity to learn to help people with more to be able to help.

Far harder for that lady with 2 cents to give and help then someone with much more, so wouldn't the better person be in her position if you believe in that sort of perception.


My point is using the argument "I have, and that proves I should have' is really flawed, although it is funny.

And the idea of mortality through blood lines, basically says you create your immortal existence by getting someone pregnant, or getting pregnant. Seriously does anyone think that the biological action of sex is what determines the destiny of an immortal soul? Isn't that funny when you think about it. I think it is mortal concepts mixed with spiritual concepts.

I think it is simpler to think that nobody knows for sure, so not use such claims to justify some condition.

Instead I think it is best to use the just claim to the debt of beer and travel money that is due to me, and many may have that same due, to stake your claim, and the ideas of justice and compassion to know that will be sent.
