Got your *favorites* picked-out already, huh, AN -- ?
You're implying that the religious 'realm' is the *independent variable*, and that all material phenomena in the Western / world are *dependent* variables, being 'wagged' by the religious-realm 'dog'.
Sure, it's far easier and fun to play mysterious dramatic games with a narrative of good-vs.-evil, which is then like a Disney film -- but we all know it's just a thin stand-in for the *real* objective reality.

How does one relate to the other, the things to affirm or reject? Harder than any political ideological choice, one must reject or hold to one or the other as the Holy and sacred Action in the world. Both symbolize how things are done or not done in the world, the seemingly deceptive choice of one faith at the expense of another, but furthermore being like Kirkegaard's " Knight of Faith" and living that sharp choice as a full on way of life.
That's what this thread is about. The realization that there's so much more going on than the surface epiphenomenal Western world.
I invite @Verv , and @Political Interest and @Potemkin to examine this further with me.
