What is the sum total of popular belief? What is the virtue of religious popular belief?
They are intertwined you know.
Centuries ago everyone believed the earth was flat in fact if you didn't believe the
earth was flat you were ridiculed and at one point when the church was in charge you
might not die of old age in bed if you didn't believe.
There were a few who believed the world was round but they kept silent because the
Pope said the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth as God made it.
At some point, someone decided this might not be true, something the Vikings knew
long before the rest of Europe. Once proven the one or two percent became the
majority and everyone set sail to exploit the people they heard about and it wasn't
long before these Europeans were imposing their will on the new world. Of course
they killed anyone who didn't believe what they believed.
Now fast forward. The new religion is the environment. Anyone who does not believe
what the masses believe is ridiculed and considered a fool. Not because the world is
changing like it has for millions of years, but because the few won't submit to the guilt
being imposed by multi national corporations that want to sell you a new kind of light bulb.
a new car, a new air conditioner and the list goes on. The only thing Holy here is the
dollar and your blind obedience to the doctrine we all must obey, and do our part to ensure
the profits of the new clergy the Chairs of the Boards of the Multi Nationals.
Wait until people realize the climate is changing because of natural fluctuations in nature
and our cycle around the sun. The problem is they will be exploited just like the people of
the new world. And if it gets bad enough the leaders of the religion and the Chairs of the
Multi Nationals will use the money they took from you to buy a ticket to the new planet
leaving you to face the final days of earth, and by the way Jesus is not coming back any
time soon. That is your bedtime story for today.
