the Great Satan (or enemy, if you will) of any healthy all-embracing humanist philosophy is Mental Illness. I think that's the black hole that makes a joke of equitable and equal return to one's fellow man.

for some reason i feel like i know exactly what you're talking about, ritty.... it's as if this "post-lapsarian" stage we're all stuck in IS insanity. among all of us, a totally sane and balanced person (in complete harmony with life/death/universe) would stand out like a sore thumb. it's as if we're all children slowly opening the taps (one step at a time) on our total and complete freedom. with each slight twist of the knob, we fall more out of balance. some of us adjust and move into a "higher plane" and some of us fall off the scale. wheats and tares so to speak. it's a strange thing... but yeah, i think i can definitely see what you're saying about "satan" or the "enemy" being insanity. in the face of complete and total freedom any of us would go completely insane...that is why we have to move toward this freedom gradually-- milk before meat. very strange.

Yeah, we might even crucify Him.

How dare you ascribe the entire culture to one man. it's unsound. He was an impassioned jewish evangelical who was born and died. and perhaps (very probably) said and preached words and deeds dissimilar to orthodox Christian tenets, as they are now held. |
