I don't think the populace is ready for change.
    #8612955 - 07/09/08 12:40 PM (4 months, 12 days ago)

Do you think this country could leave behind religion for scientific facts? Or leave religion for a unified spiritual movement?

I'm all for a unified spiritual movement.

May we live in peace and harmony.

Let's do it!

Welcome to life!

Peace,
Droz

If we leave religion for scientific facts, we will forget about intuition, which is an extremely valid way of knowing, along with self-correcting scientific experiments.  Often times, intuition is what leads to scientific breakthroughs (no, don't ask).

A unified spiritual movement connotates institutionalized spirituality, which is what religion already is.

I think it's coming down, really fast, and with lots and lots of dead people. As far as I'm concerned it's already down - it was never 'up', it was always a subtle torture device. But I don't know much.

People can only smarten up on an individual basis.  As long as it's a bandwagon mentality, it will be a bad thing. If people leave behind religion for science without addressing the human addictions that make religion so destructive, they'll just cling to science in the same way.  Scientific dogma can be pretty damn obnoxious too; religion doesn't have a monopoly on stubbornness and self-righteousness.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- `Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
