Lme try to show I understand your pov.

The American Indians are prime examples for your case. To eat for a few days, they would drive a whole herd of buffalo off a cliff. Classic case of overkill. The Noble Savage Theory is a complete myth. But yet, the American Indian myths hold the best explanation of how a descendant can retain experience. That is by the spirit of the buffalo, etc.

I agree that civilization is grand. But what about the Acropolis? Was that democratic to build it? I think not.

But to the point. I do not pretend to go further than the God of Nature that the DOI references in public discussions. It is not that I am ashamed or do not want to be a martyr. I just want to participate.

I do not deny the grandeur of civilization. And I do not claim that it is a mirage paid for by the sweat of the proletariat. It is a colloborative effort based on an instinct for survival.

But this same instinct for survival is shared by demons, who know God lives.
