Information technology is rapidly progressing as we are becoming the Jetsons of the 21st century. The IT arena is expanding on daily basis with no let-up in sight.
This brings us to the question: When will primitive spiritual practices come of age? The deflowering of archaic pious fabrications and fables is way past due. As long as the majority continues to view apostolic myths as facts, the inhabitants of this planet will stay trapped in Machiavellian religious jargon and colossal mind control. Trite sacrosanct aphorisms have played out.
It's time for a global epiphany; a realization and awareness that the canonical jig is up. The way to eliminate ecumenical evangelical fraud is via erudition coupled with a profound self-analysis. As much as this may hurt the fundamentalist believer, Jesus is not going to return.
The psychological grip that the Bible and the Roman Catholic Church (the father of all other churches, regardless of the denomination) has on all of society is something out of the Twilight Zone. We've seen dirty old men repeatedly rape children and we do nothing about it. We've seen members of the clergy launder trillions of dollars under the guise of giving ten percent to a deity that no one has ever been able to define or describe, and we look the other way.
We fall short because of fear, ignorance, and hereditary religious conditioning. The 'fear' comes in because the majority is so afraid of dying, so concerned about the apocryphal "hell-fire and brimstone" that they cling to medieval stories as a method of coping with the unknown. The 'ignorance' comes from the fact that after high school, the majority never read another book. 'Religious conditioning' starts as soon as an infant leaves his mother's womb.
The most influential and malevolent character created in Christian mythology is Satan. Since his biblical introduction, this fictitious villain has been used to manipulate the sacrosanct gullible masses. Every bad deed since the collation of the Bible in 325AD has been attributed to this counterfeit demon.
"Coming of age" offers lessons in humility, clarity, tranquility, awareness, and understanding. Where religious matters are concerned, our collective conundrum is that society has not advanced spiritually as we have in other areas. That's because we study science, cosmology, government, law. Perpetually rehashing fairytales, told thousands of years ago is tantamount to reading the works of Shakespeare hundreds of times and thinking you're going to learn something new. It's not going to happen.
