"Had I not known/that I was dead/already/I would have mourned/my loss of life."
--Ota Dokan (1432-1486)
Well, the greatest argument against God and religion as a whole has been the Secular belief in some sort of 'religious ignorant wars', in which religion is blamed for the wars of the middle ages and so forth.
But weren't the Nazis Secular? Wasn't Stalin a secularist? Wasn't the French revolution, one of the bloodiest in human history, primarily anti-religious?
Psychology, a young science compared to its elder brothers of Chemistry, Astronomy and Geology, has given evidence to us that humans have a certain needs, and that one of these needs has and always will be, a form of faith. This faith often is undercutted by fact, but the overall thirst for some sort of explanation for all things is strong in both cases of reason and faith.
To be continued...
"Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash."
--Louis Aragon (1897-1982)
