Time and space are like mind and body, and while time is trapped in the body of space, space is stretched out on the rack of time.

Like dreams caught in a dream catcher, so we are told to believe that we are simply spirits caught in the web of a material reality. 

Yet even though we strive through our religions to think of ourselves as souls, equal and undivided, we stumble blindly over our own mental constructs, which only ever lead us to categorize and rank ourselves within physical, biological, social, religious, and even financial hierarchies.  

While our spirits may all be seen as equal before God, in other words, we always find new and clever ways of seeing our minds and bodies as unequal to each other; and we do this as much with our science as with our religions, and verify it all with our economics and our convictions.

And in the hear and now, we experience a mere moment of an eternity which, like our souls being trapped in flesh and bone, is similarly caught in the spiraling web of time itself.

Or maybe eternity walks around with the present stuck to the sole of its shoe like bubble gum.

Or maybe time and space are like cancers metastasizing within the infinite and the eternal, like a child being born, or the passing of a gall stone.

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...

The Clash of Religious Beliefs with Reality: Over Simplicity in a Hyper Complex World

God is the anthropomorphism of  our hope that life has a "happily ever after" ending, where there is no such thing as death and suffering, which we anthropomorphize in the form of the devil. In a sense, we are taking ideas and turning them into phantom figures of our selves, with angles and demons being projections of our own souls and our penchant for good and evil.  We see this when we anthropomorphize the act of gift giving into Santa Clause and think in terms of "old man winter" and "father time." We even reverse this process by describing ourselves as living in the springtime of our youth or the autumn of our years.  Religion takes this habit to another level, however, and teaches people to "believe" that the personifications we rely on to describe our hopes and fears are actual "beings;" beings from whom all of the characteristics we tend to associate with ideas of life and death, good and evil, necessarily emanate.
