: ***I agree with all of the above. Except for the part of letting go of the mystery. Embracing the mystery will bring you closer to living a decent life. It brings an appreciation of everything around you, which will then bring you to care for everythign around you which then brings you to care about environmental and human rights issues and other stuff.
****You just head down that same dreary murderous path again. What you say sounds innocent enough...and the hierarchy is more than happy yo pat your little head filled with noble and harmless ideals...but with their other hand they continue to paw and grope children and they continue their obscurantist ways and war mongering in disguise..as in "God Bless American Bombs".
Itīs like virginity...you either are or you arenīt...no such thing as just a bit, or only the best part of...these religions have caused far more damage than any good. In fact, goodness existed before they came along and had tried mightily to remain alive and well since they showed up. You have to just say "NO". Stupid vacuouaness bordering on insanity and a bloodlust worthy of humans...has to be rejected in totality...not bits and pieces. By itself that wont solve anything...but it just might free our minds up enough, free of nonsense of 2000 years ago when people didnīt even know enough to wash and when they began the barabaic tradition of cutting babies...as they STILL do...free our minds enough so that we might be able to move forward a little. You canīt move forward while looking backwards...and thatīs what they ALL encourage and demand.
Other than that...keep yer knees together.
