Hello One and All:
I believed that the new ideas that I was putting forward about the human mind would become self-evident with the passage of time. Unfortunately that time is turning out to be much longer than I anticipated.
I also thought that the acceptance of those ideas about how the human mind functions would make it easier for the ideas that I am expressing in The Religion Of Truth to be accepted.
It now appears entirely likely that my life will end before my ideas about the deeper functioning of the human mind become accepted. Consequently I have decided to put forward my ideas about religion now, --- instead of later.
I do this with the full realization that ISIS in particular is using the emotion of fear to try to take over the world and then have everyone accept their ideas as the gospel truth.
They have no fear of death because they completely believe that when this life ends, they will go directly to their version of valhalla which of course they call heaven.
To authenticate the ridiculous nature of their beliefs even further, they believe that 72 virgins will be waiting for them in heaven. What these 72 virgins have to dream about, or wait for, is another question entirely. Some of these guys look like they haven't washed in years.
While Christianity has shed most, if not all of its barbaric behaviors, fundamental Islamic beliefs and too many of its followers have not. If you cannot attract or keep followers voluntarily, --- by resorting to violence you violate the authenticity that you are claiming to uphold.
In any event, ISIS is forcing us to understand fear more completely than we do at this time. In that regard, unfortunately, they are giving credence to my beliefs about how the human mind functions.
The question remains simply this. Should I have waited until my ideas about how the human mind functions were accepted before putting forward the Religion Of Truth?
Since no one is accepting any of my ideas about the human mind, the question seems to have become moot. Whether I put forward the Religion of Truth now or later doesn't seem to matter. Hence I have decided to go ahead and do it now.
