Derek,
I appreciate your thought-provoking, philosophical discussions with Neocon... So, allow me to make you notice that Gods and religious believes are JUST ANOTHER FORM OF CONSPIRACY!
Either you believe that mankind is fragmented into several ethnic, political, economical communities that all pursue their own agendas or you repress such a Babel-Tower-like representation in favor of some supernatural almighty power: God.
Obviously, the big difference between a ''supernatural'' conspirator and human, blood-and-flesh conspirators is that you can't track the former!! Let me take an example: the JFK assassination.
JFK's been assassinated??! You're kiddin'! Toooo bad... Oh, well... must be an ACT OF GOD: GOD WANTED JFK TO TAKE THE LIFT on that doomed day in 1964. The instrument of God? He chose Lee H. Oswald as His holy appliance. Period --Oops! make that: Amen!
That's for the spiritual conspiracy. Now for the materialistic one: investigators, former CIA agents, witnesses of the crime scene can all be called upon in an attempt to see IF the CIA or some other covert conspiratorial interests have been involved in the assassination of JFK. Journalists, lawyers, even movie directors are eligible to participate in such a process: No priest, no rabbi, no bishop, no Pope can tell them what's true and what's not, what's taken for granted by the Holy Scriptures and what's not... Only their own conscience will guide them in their quest for the ''truth'' --freely.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather lean on the latter ''conspiratorial mindset'': after all, human beings are blood-and-flesh, aren't they? Of course, it's much more interesting for the ruling elites to make the masses believe in some otherworldly superpower and have them go to church every Sunday...
Unholy yours,
Gustave. |
