Neutranity is a Religion that's based on love, truth and common sense.
It's religion that's free for anyone and a religion that accepts you just like you are.
Believing in Neutranity means, that you belive in liberation and neutralism. That everyone is equal and neutral.
The word comes from the Latin "neutral" which means equal/normal.
God is not a someone, but a something you believe in. Neutranity is about believing in what you believe in. There's no
explanation to everything and as long as you belive in love, there will be hope for a bright future.
Neutranity accepts anyone, no matter their background.
As long as you don't hurt anyone og anything, you're following the right path.
Forgiveness is an important part of beliveing in Neutranity. If you cannot forgive, then you cannot be forgiven. Sometimes
you must use your common sense to accept the truth and be ready for new love.
True love is something that must come from the soul, not the heart. Even though you must use your heart to show love, the
true love itself must be stored in your soul: Humans heart will eventually stop beating one day, but a soul will live
forever.
And as the invisible soul, full of love and care, leaves the human body, the love lives on, and some love just gets
stronger. You always want what you cannot get, and when you miss someone, your love for them grows stronger and gains more
power as time flies. Even though you might be unconscious about it, the love will just keep growing and digging further
into you.
If a sin has been made, God will forgive you, as long as you're willing to confess and accept the punishments.
No one has the right to take your life, but common sense has the right to jugde and punish you.
We are all equal and no ones life is more important than your others. But sometimes you need to think wide.
Think about concequences: What is the right thing to do? Keep your own life, or offer it to save the leader, who later
will be able to save other peoples lives?
The most important thing in life is love, so why not share it with anyone?
Are you seeing that someone is needing help? Then go help them!
How can you change the world into a better place? By acomplishing small and random constituents!
Everything starts small, but eventually - with potential and love - it grows big!
The Beginning
Where did the universe begin and where does it end?
People all around the globe have been searching for an answer through years and years. Does Neutranity have the answer? No.
Because there is no answer; There is what you believe in. Was it the Big Bang or was it God, who created earth in 7 days?
And if, then what was there before Big Bang and God, where did they come from?
These questions are asked over and over, but it doesn't hurt to think. Someday, we might just find the answer.
But why do people keep asking these questions, why not just live with the fact, that the answer is unknown?
Because then they would have to give up. Give up the hope of finding an answer. And why should they give up, when there is hope?
They shouldn't. They should continue looking for the answer and continue believing in themselves. Continue hoping and searching.
How far does the universe reach? Does it have a stop sign, or is it just an infinite loop?
Can it be, that if you reach and bypass the end, you will just start at the beginning? May be.
We all have different beliefs and different theories, but is there a correct? Only if YOU believe so.
The Three Wise Words
Love, Truth and Common Sense. And with these words comes everything else.
There might not be a perfect world, and there might always be conflicts. But you as long as you believe in yourself, then your path will be clear. And without conflicts, we would not find answers. There is a balance to everything and there is always room for one more, in Neutranity. No matter what you have done, or how you have sinned - as long as you have learned your lesson and have agreed to let the past float away, you have the chance, to become a better person.
Some sins must although be punished, and if you accept and confront these punishments, you are following the right path.
And is there a right path? There is the path you believe is right, and that is what matters for you. As long as a path is clear and has a good purpose, then it is right.
God
God is the one you pray to, when you are in any need.
God has no name, unless you have given God a name.
God might be anyone. God might even be yourself or just a reflection of yourself - God is who you believe he/she is.
So why even have a God? Because you need someone to rely on. And even though God is a fictive person to you, you can still rely your problems on God. You can "tell" God anything and "talk" to God about everything. Have you ever tried praying, and suddenly, the pray came true? Logically, it was probably luck or a coincidence, or was it?

Byterapers (also abbreviated as (B)) is a Finland-based demoscene group, that formed in 1986. It is one of the oldest demogroups still in existence. Although the most famous Byterapers productions are for the Commodore 64, the group has also produced material for the Amiga, the PC and mobile platforms. In the 1980s, Byterapers was also active in software cracking, as there was no clear distinction between the demoscene and the pirate scene. The total number of Byterapers' releases, both legal and illegal, exceeds one-thousand.
For several years, Byterapers actively organized demoparties that used to be among the major events of the era. The first ever demo compo in Finland was arranged at the first Byterapers copyparty in August 1988. This contest also happens to be the world's earliest democompo with documented evidence still intact. Byterapers was also one of the groups, whom were responsible for the organization of the first Assembly demo party in 1992.
Since the late 1990s, the productive activity of Byterapers has greatly diminished, and the group has been more concentrated on the documentation of the history of the Finnish demoscene. Yet, the group is still in existence, managing to release a demo at anytime. Byterapers' members are active in the demoscene, and can be seen in various Finnish and foreign demoparties. The group wants to get more active in demomaking during 2008/2009.
On 10 to 13 August 2006, Byterapers celebrated their 20th birthday, with an invitation only party. About 40 Byterapers members and guests traveled to Byterapers' birthplace, the town of Iisalmi in middle Finland.
