Human appearance, dance, song, language--
in fact, all human culture, lifeways, heart and soul--
are up for commercial and material/monetary grab.
Nothing in religious text/prophesy about hi-tech and its enterprises!
Yet, religion holds whatever is necessary to keep its followers.
It is blind to the sacredality in all Earth-life, the sacredality in her
evolved, Earthly human nature, being, spirit, reality and culture;
a totality of blindness, through its joyful bondage to elitist,
artful powers and oppressions of the masses of humanity.
"Poverty will always be with us;" because religions, in tandem
with empires, created, institutionalized and canonized poverty.
How incongruous that religion rejects much of modernism,
like birth-control, egalitarianism and stem-cell research;
while generally embracing, or keeping its silence, on all hi-tech
enterprises dehumanizing and de-naturing individuals, organic
families and communities on Earth! And while keeping its silence
on the vilest stupidity and systemic insult to Earth's evolved
human and prehuman species of life itself: that the human
future lies in outer space!
These tandem false beliefs and their resultant de-humanizing
enterprises, destructive to all life, spin out from the central,
generating belief of civilization: that humans are a separate,
distinct life form from other Earth-life, with both being inferior
to an nonempirically evidenced heavenly or re-incarnated
life, a life supposedly always our true destiny and close upon us.
And always, for some 5000 years, failing to evident or appear.
