islam
why
judaism
christianity
etc
I am referring to the mythopoetic consciousness of humanity with religion
i dont use term "religion" for African tribal totems or Wicca
but why
are they different phenomenon in kind?
Because it's convenient
or is it to conveniently denounce one
I see
"Religion" is just the opposite of "Nihilism"
the world is alive, and meaningful down to its smallest parts
personally meaningful
the common people understand "religion" as the world of people, not the world itself
"personal" is a circle-jerk
it's the opposite of the sort of "realist" cynicism that is typical of modern people
Religious world is completely dead
or more preciselly numb
watch it come back
and that's good, that it will come back
that's how we really are, the current state is an aberration
It indefinitely requires a crude mask over itself, a stiff structure of religious liturgical formality
a blip
that goes for any such thing doesn't it
the natural moral law turns into legalism
A man chasing meaning under religious predispositions
it's only when one aspect is forgotten
that it becomes crazy
Is a man destined to be forever lost and never to really grasp the nature of the wold around it
legalism on its own becomes crazy, but just the fact that there is some structure
nothing wrong with that
And therefore to truly feel alive
In a living, not a dead world
if the west duys, 80% of africa and half of india will just die
also 50% of the west
will just die
I accept that man needs to feel that
but don't accept that he is "destined to be forever lost"
