"We are all searching together", but some are more of a searching mindset than others. I begin to suspect that some among this thread's most visible fixtures are throwing snowballs out of sheer boredom. With all the different "religions" humans have practiced over the years it's amazing to me that anyone claims with 100% certainty that theirs is the correct and only true religion. Yet they do, by vast majorities. The only thing that seems certain to me is there is something within the human genetic code that demands that we search for a spiritual solution, then grab it with everything we have and hold on tight. Which, to me, means it must be something VERY important to us to forgo all reason and logic. That's the mystery. It could easily mean that there IS some spiritual truth that needs to be grabbed. Could 1000's of generations of humanoids have been wrong, and there is nothing extra-spiritual? I'm as skeptical of that as I am that any one religion speaks the only truth.

“I do not agree with Solon that poking the opposition in order to hear then "bleat" is either fun or especially pleasant“ It is necessary. If Brummar or either of those two mouthpieces had pulled that lying phony shit on my property I would have had every right to knock their teeth right down their throat. I am not leaving the world to these assholes by default because I find them "unpleasant", while decent people like you fight to find a place to get one word in, and people like my wife who is worth 100 of those assholes gets pilloried and lied about. The world is always at war and I DO respect your idea that it won’t come to you if you keep the music loud! I just don’t agree with it…
