What you believe doesn't mean shit. All that matters is what you do.

Barry, I think (hypotheticaly that is) that this is best stated from a first
person ontology POV 'What I believe *IS* shit'. And if I impose my belief on
you, and have this perspective, it might (a big if in the world of belief),
help me to see what I am attempting to shovel down your throat, and
recognising this, modify my behaviour.
This is not emphasised much in most spiritual traditions, because they seem
to have devolved into promoting belief rather than illuminating this aspect
of spiritual growth.
Om so,
Your beliefs don't make you a better person,
Your behavior does.
I played the blues on street corners.
Yes, so some people are [better] than others.
On the vanguard of consciousness; Uncle, what were you doing in the days
of the great step forward of consciousness? Well, Nephew I stayed in a rooming
house in Paris writing code while it was all happening.
Hope for the Best in People with Kind Regard,
