" 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? "
Indeed ! In fact this space-time continuum destiny thing is so much humbug, a last - straw position of the psychologically obsessed to arrive at something definitive even if there isn't one. And nobody needs to feel hurt by this fact. The truth is that the human universe is in his mind. And, that is determined entirely by one's knowledge, values, belief and attitudes, the combination of which variations would make each individual's universe unique. The objective one that Neil is chasing is also a mere add - on feature in that universe, at best a footnote, in small or large print, one amongst the millions already there, changing nothing of that substratum ground of knowledge, values, beliefs and attitudes. I've ruled out the religious and scientific from major role playing in the making of the man, his universe. What matters is his self, his idea of himself, his knowledge of himself - material, physical, psychological, mental, intellectual and spiritual. All things religious to scientific take on a meaning, or not, this or that, within the architecture of that which is in the mind of the man. What is ? !
