The majority of American Christians believe that Babyman (Trump) is one of them. And they're probably right. Babyman, like all evangelicals, lives the cozy life of the self-centered, comfortable in the uniquely American doctrine that tells them they need not give to the poor to live a bliss-filled afterlife, and that they need only believe in that the virgin-birthed son of their God existed. Actual reading of the words of Jesus is not required, but if they actually do read his words, they are free to ignore them and still get the all the heavenly benefits.
Meanwhile, more and more independent thinkers are becoming atheists. Small wonder. As more actual knowledge becomes available, the mythical tales that pose as reality they find the ground is firmer with science and common sense. Yet I found they still struggle with the larger picture - what of the future?
If the future is to have a religion at all, it will have to be more accountable to ALL people, not just those with a passion for genuflection.
Just how did major religions once rule the world? One word; Trance.
By which I should add, 'MULTI-TRANCES'. They started by creating churches and temples, places where people could go and worship. They then taught people TRANCE RITUALS.
ETERNALISM will do this as well. It's important that Eternalism be a COMMUNITY BASED philosophy and possibly religious gathering place. A Ceremony Of Art, music and visuals, performers and very much audience participation are the GLUE that will hold OUR PATHES together and establish documents of the proof of our existence. This is VITAL.
TRANCE MASTERS are the BEST.
Dedicate yourself to Eternity and surprising things will begin to happen. Your mind, as it EXPANDS, sees the dichotomies, the paradoxes, the unanswered questions about LIFE that come to us whenever we gain KNOWLEDGE. For every question answered there should immediately be dozens of questions questioning that answer. This is the true PATH of knowledge. It's the TAO, get used to it.
