    Re: The possability of 3 dimensions between the micro and macro

    Hi Leskey,

    I buy a few little things for some, like on birthdays, too, and sometimes put up some lights, but that's about it.

    Each year, I note that about 3 days after Christmas, many suddenly reappear back as themselves and then wonder what all the fuss was about, the experience somehow also seeming to have happened a long time ago.

    So, when organized religion finally dies out, does that God then fall from the scaffolding no longer there?

    Yes, the falacious, man-made, made-up image of "God." There'll simply be no need for the existence of institutional structure to manipulate the truth. The truth is within each of us: we argue with the truth in our internal dialogue...

    Graffiti written during the French student revolts of 1968: "There is a sleeping cop in all of us. He must be killed."

    The real battle in all respects, has always stemmed from the dominion of man-made, made-up law. Our paternalistic governments "protect us for our own good:" slowly strangling the "sleeping cop" (sense of personal obligation to others) in each of us, till finally we abdicate all "social conscience."

    Eventually, increasingly desperate times call for increasingly desperate measures (sound familiar?) before the catastrophic climax and the cylce begins again. IMHO, time to break the cycle...

    Hi Austin and Leskey
    The organization of religion is the worship of a document. There is no God involved. The people that belong to the religion have a God in their heart, that will not fall, they will simply find more reliable information to support it.
    That is a remake of the circle of comfort found in their concept of reality.

    I do not disagree with what I do not understand. I strive to understand so that I do not find myself disagreeing with the WYSIWYG of the environment that I live within.
