		<description><![CDATA[What was the lie that man exchanged for truth? 

The answer is: man must pay to appease the gods in their endless hostility or purchase grudging benevolence of a demonic benefactor. This was how man believed he fended off life’s pain and suffering. The ultimate sick joke of human existence is man bowing before an image chipped out of stone, believing that somehow it might provide a way to think about life

		<description><![CDATA[We say morality and mean "Don't cuss, smoke or chew or have sex with those who do."  We think it an extraordinary moral stand to put on our Puritan hats and boycott movies that mention testicles.  We get agitated when someone is blunt, but conciliatory when tyrants advocate all manner of despotism.  We can stab each other in the eye as long as we smile and heaven forefend the victim complain about ill treatment with any passion.

		<description><![CDATA[ Any preacher teaching spiritual dependence is as much a drug dealer as any South American cocaine lord.  His drug is Spiritual Crack.     And the effects are equally horrific.  People are robbed of everything that is dignity.     The disaster is harder to see because people appear 'respectable' in their Sunday best, and live in neat and tidy houses, and retreat to the very sterile safe haven of steepled buildings.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have been indoctrinated to think that the historic tragedy is OUR existence. There is nothing more erroneous in modern philosophical thought. Whatever western sins might be, most of our assumptions drive us toward abandoning bad ideas and striving toward good ideas with all ships rising on the tide. Our GOOD ideas are always about individual liberty, freedom, social cooperation, industry and prosperity. The only parts of our philosophical background currently threatening to reduce us back to the oppression of yesteryear are the humanity-crushing predicates of Dictated Good: Pervasive Depravity and Altruism.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is how modern History’s Hitlers joined forces with ancient Mystic Despots: they use morality as cudgel to drive the “depraved” masses into Collective Conformity. Collectivism, also known as Tribalism, also known as Sectarianism, also known as Socialism, also known as Communism, also known as the “Greater Good,” has always been the Holy of Holies in political, social, and religious, corruption, death, and destruction. No need to send in the High Priest to offer sacrifice because the people have been seduced into bloodletting themselves.]]></description>
