Subject: Re: If Thy Enemy Offends Thee, Rub Him Out!
How do we make sense out of a mad man's ranting? The problem is not our Spiritual Nature. The problem is Religion. All religion. Religion is our attempt to make sense out of that which we cannot explain.
Because we are still mere infants in our ability to understand this vast Universe, we sweep together our fears, our hopes, our over simplifications of all that is around us, and we mix it all together and formalize it into Religion.
Now we have something on which to shape our life. Full of "Make Believe", myths, misinformation, unsubstantiated dreams and wishes and all sorts of other gobbldegook, we create our Truths. And of course our Truth cannot be wrong. After all, we created it. And we must defend it against all wrong thinkers.
Lost is our Spiritual Nature. Lost is Reality. If we cannot crawl back up out of the Rabbit Hole, we are most likely doomed.
