THE CULT OF RELIGION
AND
THE BEAUTY OF CULTURE
In the beginning
The gods created Heaven.
The gods were Heaven.
And their Spirit,
The Creative Spirit
Dwelt in all things,
In all places.
We are still forever,
And forever shall we be still.
We are Water.
And we built this City
On Rock n' Roll...
From "Wall Taps"
We were but stones
Your life
Made us suns
-Pearl Jam, "Light Years" from Binaural
There is a unique portion of the human race who appear unable or unwilling to recognize the essential value and equality of all life, of all persons under the sun - an equality upon which all human freedom is based in law, economy and in, even more importantly, the imagination.
Yes, certainly we need and want our illusions of freedom in a capitalist democracy. Yes, there really are those with more "freedoms" than others even as all are treated equally under the laws of man/god or animalGod or God "in-anima"**. However, such is a necessary reality if all are able to define for themselves what makes a person truly free. Within� such a paradigm, the human heart and the human imagination is given free reign over all the earth, as it should be. This "they are weak but he is strong" but  "jesus loves me" is, for lack of a better, word, degenerate. Although, I have no doubt that the pathological asexuality (as it leads to narcisstic psychosis as opposed to adulthood) of the "christian"or any religious zealot finds some loving salve in the interaction, however institutionalized, with children who are, as any parent should know, the real kings and queens of the earth - not merely because they are young in age but because they wear their imaginations, what will become the divine gender of human adulthood, so openly that to see all the justice they bring to the world taxes every virtue that one may have acquired through the many challenges of life. Children are, in person, what we are, in person, to the world in which we live, its souls; its beauty; its divinity. ** ---Click here>>  >  > >  >  >   >   >   >  >
So then, that said heart and mind/imagination is challenged by the very systems (man made and not) that make it free is a totem of divine beauty, the beatific pathos of pure and eternal being that regenerates and animates all life - it is not wrong or evil or even unwanted, for we wish to grow individually and collectively.
