You are the wiggler my friend. But the inconsistencies abound on the court of religious dictum and dogma vs space-time continuum destiny. What good is having a duty to fight oppression if the oppressive event is in place or queue as part of a divinity driven decree? The quantum aspects in themselves have validity within their own context but correlation to mundane theologies leaves overwhelming voids only explainable through anthropic perceptions and imagery. This is how the sun managed to revolve around the earth for thousands of years without question and a solar eclipse signified the anger of a perceived deity which may have resulted in the sacrifice of a virgin. So, should we pursue the idea that space-time continuum holds relevance and is pertinent to events within our universe, particularly on our planet in regard to human interactions, then we should abandon any and all religious dogmas derived from superstitions and revelations of ancient origin and let the space-time continuum reveal it's course for the universe. Good and bad is black and white without the need of countless extrapolations that set forth guidelines for human behavior by authority eg; human authority that claims transcendence and enlightenment as well as a direct connection to a perceived spiritual entity of which there is no evidence of other than it's existence within the human consciousness. We might add that that consciousness has fabricated numerous deities, many in human form, which renders the entire concept as imagery of illusion. The ancients didn't see or hear anything more than we today and in fact had less to go on to dispel the great myths. Fear keeps people in check and what greater fear is there than the fear of the unknown, fear of a creator that destroys? How much power I could have if I could get people to believe that this creator was a friend of mine who made me to be a direct representative. These were the precepts that guided people like Karesh and Jones who created spin off religious cultures that many others are still processing to create. If the pope can do it why can't I? Its the sheep story all over again Pat.
