I just have to bring that up because you pronounced it as truth without saying why you think so. I'm pretty sure not everyone objectively agrees that there is not one true path.
Anyway, I get what you are saying. I don't know if religion is that evil, though, if one consciously chooses it. If one is just born in it and then doesn't search further, then yes I think that is wrong. If you consciously choose it, though, then no one is telling you how to think. You are actively choosing it, and gathering with others who believe the same thing. What's so wrong about that? |
Fuzzy logic is still logic. Me, not you.
If subatomic particles can be in many places at once or nowhere at all, and can be either energy or matter, and can instantaneously communicate regardless of space or time distance (which research apparently is showing), and since we are apparently made of these little buggers...to me that means everything is indeterminate until you get to the macro, then it's One. In our little individual, illusory expression of One, that indeterminacy tells me that there are many, maybe an infinite number, of ways to do anything, including finding our way back home.
Anywho...as I say, I go with my gut because I don't do conventional logic very well.
Now I must leave my job trailer and go inspect a bridge. We have until Tuesday morning to re-open the road so we're working 12-hour shifts on a holiday weekend. At my age I druther have the time off than the OT, but what the heck. I'll be mellow when I'm dead, as Weird Al used to say...
