in medieval times a lot of people were killed in the name of christ for suposidly practising satanisme and paganisme, half of them were infact devoted christians.
in my eyes religion is a very dangerous and irrational thing.
thanks for viewing my video. banish religion? wishful thinking & highly unlikely. but, with the end of christendom, i do think there is an opportunity to displace magical thinking with rational thought. can faith motivated thinking (e.g. Dr. King) be part of the answer and not part of the problem? i don't really know, but i do know that the slaughter of the 20th century was mostly initiated by secular states. and now the slaughter is coming from religious ones. our thoughts may not be far apart.
"The attempt to operate in the realm of substance pragmatically as if it were the realm of phenomena -- that is the definition of magic. The interrelation of science and power, and the consequent cancerous growth of the utilitarian segment of existence, has injected a strong element of magic culture into modern civilization." -- Eric Voegelin

we dont live in the bronze age anymore, so we dont need bronze age myths anymore.
we must banish christendom and religion as a whole out of our society and come to our senses!
