    It is either Absolute Truth or it's a relative truth ---or it a lie born of an ulterior motive.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    This is what every old timer said in Europe just before the 1st World War broke out.

    And then, later This is what every old timer said in Europe just before the 2nd World War broke out.

    And then, later This is what every old timer said in Syria just before the War broke out.

    What is going on? Destiny had absolutely ruled over everyone's better wishes.

    Look around at your society, it is built upon "absolute truths" that aren't at all and never were.

    We'll get to the next war, in addition to our current 8, as soon the capitalists can gin up a bogus excuse.

    I am glad folks are acclimating themselves to expecting that WE NOT BE LIED TO BY THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM.

    When we stop following the lies, we create change.
