I finally came to the "process" (not conclusion) yesterday, that religious belief is the sum total of human imagination. Therefore we are all partners in this quest. We are equal shareholders in our search for a GOD. It is a process and we have no rights to declare victory...yet! Except for purposes of political domination.
This makes me think that the quest for a GOD is the only act of faith I am capable of associating with. I find it hard to reconcile that a GOD may have already been "found". By WHOM? What justifies the fact that a GOD or his son, be found by some nomadic in 1st Century Palestine, or now, when the human species still has a long way to go. What will those to come be looking for? I will respect the limitations of Muslim thought processes or illogicisms of Christian Romance; Bhuddist pragmatism and Jewish stagnations are all just manifestions politic. It is convenient...
I got a mail from Rowan in Singapore who wanted to know why I write mostly on Christianity and Islam.
Answer: These to "conclusions" or faiths if you want, are so similar yet their adherents are so dissimilar that i find them collectively responsible for all contemporary mass violence. In fact no two "faiths" have confronted themselves so permanently for so long. But i accept that their means are different, but objectives the same - the death of reason.
