Nationalism in action

Well guess what? Apparently, according to the well-founded opinion of Ukrainian (neo)nationalists and Aryan (really, yeah, not kidding) movements, Jesus was a Ukrainian, in fact, he was a primarch of the Proto-Aryan race! I guess that solves the problem of Aryans being Christians, no way they'd possibly worship a member of a lesser race, but a Ukrainian? Totally different.

While still on the subject of religions, beliefs and other wonderful things, I can't possibly not mention a text I saw a few days ago, something about our universe actually being a hologram or something or other. Couldn't really read it to the end due to lack of interest in the subject. However, a friend of mine is fascinated with the idea for some reason.

Question is, why be fascinated with it? Does living in a hologram mean that you can break out of it? Essentially, no. You're a hologram, too, and stepping out of the general area of projection you cease to exist. Besides, how do you break out of a hologram? By eating some red pills? Well, this isn't The Matrix, and you, dear readers, are not Neo. Neither am I, quite unfortunately, dodging bullets and being Teh 1 would have been rather nifty. Not to mention I could bend spoons and chastity belts... but I digress. What's the big deal with it? Does it cancel the laws of morality, if we realize that nothing really exist? Well, I dare you to try and see just what the other holograms can do to you for it. So what's so great about it? Even if this is a hologram, you're still stuck as a part of it.

Same really goes for the religions. There's a God? Heaven, Hell, all that? Great. I can reincarnate as a buffalo? Awesome. But what then? Right now I happen to be a human, and am stuck as one for the rest of my life - and suicide is a no-no according to pretty much all religions, no heaven, no reincarnation, just poof or purgatory. And being a human, I'm stuck to sticking to human laws, morality, customs and all that other great stuff that we humans are making such a big fuss about. A large deviation to any direction would end up as negative to the deviant in the first place, just like it would in case if the world was a hologram, my left toe or a tomato in drag.
