What We Do In Every

Spiritual Life Can Certainly Follow The Pattern One Sees In The Fake Martial Arts, With Most Teachers Making Nebulous And Magical Claims That Never Get Tested, While Their Students Derange Themselves With Weird Ideas, Empty Rituals, And Other Affectations.

It Is Time We Realize That Belief Is Not A Private Matter. As A Man Believes, So He Will Act. Believe That You Are A Member Of A Chosen People, Awash In The Salacious Exports Of An Evil Culture That Is Turning Your Children Away From God, Believe That You Will Be Rewarded With An Eternity Of Unimaginable Delights By Dealing Death To These Infidels—and Flying A Plane Into A Building Is Only A Matter Of Being Asked To Do It.

Religious Moderation Is The Direct Result Of Taking Scripture Less And Less Seriously. So Why Not Take It Less Seriously Still? Why Not Admit The The Bible Is Merely A Collection Of Imperfect Books Written By Highly Fallible Human Beings.

Faith Does Not Offer A Strong Link Between Our Beliefs And Actual States Of The World.

It Is Still Fashionable To Believe That How You Organize Yourself Religiously In This Life May Matter For Eternity. Unless We Can Erode The Prestige Of That Kind Of Thinking, We're Not Going To Be Able To Undermine These Divisions In Our World.
