i feel the advances in scientific understanding
will eventually erode the foundations of religion
primitive cultures developed highly imaginative
concepts of supernatural dieties to try to cope
with events precipitated by natural phenomenon
as well as the mundane realities of "hey, he quit breathing"!
the legacy? "my god is better than your god" conflict
that has pock-marked the species development for
millenia...
it isnt easy for me to accept what i am realizing
as i have never "not believed" in a god... it is hard
to realize that ultimately we all have to hitch up
our big boy/ big girl panties and just deal with
the reality that THIS IS IT!
getting there, one new understanding at a time
and man is it motivation to get things done NOW!!
