“There was an inch thick sticky pool on the asphalt, a meter wide at least, now slowly drying blood in the silent saturday hot afternoon sun. A sixtie’s yellow scooter lay twisted. It was noticable. No sound was heard all around. It was still. A good chunk on the side of his skull was only not there any more. The last before he passed we heard; Mom, in a children’s voice. The bus stop, the boot had turned into an ancient chapel when we pulled him up on the sidewalk. I was shaking, felt compelled by the sudden transformation without thinking urged to give him a sermony, a few words, an unusual calm came over us. It was all lost anyway. I said, in the stillness, Friend you were a good rider but we all come to here. The silence was of holy. A beautiful light came over our pale faces, we saw, I glanced, erie in the moment, drifted slowly beautifuly soothing throughout the landscape and slowly vained. I ever since experienced something like that.“
Religion, a word of possible origins, from about 1300, ’bound by a monastery wow of faith’. Other from Cicero, living to 43 AD, ’go through’ reading or thinking again, once more. Clear though that religion as a concept can be of immence expansion, easely exemplified by the religious gods world Hinduism and it’s accompanied litterature, the Vedic sacred litterature, in size double or triple the size of the Bible depending your measures. All of the wonders of who we are, our mission and the purpose of living.
Religion summerized by symbolic ropes and bounds by psychological, social traditions in a context of a living working functioning societie’s myth. By customs of faith and beleives. Of immence importance of peoples through out history.
(To be continued. Just the beginning.)
(I will return to and expand on this immence still vital tradition going backwards through the cathedrals back to the the pyramid egyptians and beyond. The atheist’s blindness not unveiled other then they are drunk)
Talking religion, the usual question is a spearhead aimed to the bull’s eye question of God’s existence. Missing that god is a concept and can be enterpreted in a multitude of ways, communion and conscience the first words that comes to mind. But the question is put in physical termes and misses totally the spiritual or philosophical possible aspect. Christianity for instance placed God also at the heart of everyone’s heart, that is conscience. An aim or idéa to live up to. Also an enormous body of lived religion, customs, eternal problems of conscience, was it right to kill the enemy, to what degree am I responable for my actions, how an ideal life. The sworn atheist comfortly makes it an easy twist to ignore the whole interior of the cathederal temple of moral and the full glowing rainbow in the landscape outside in trying to frame the philosopher by nailing only the fringe of his robe to the wooden door.
Religion asks questions about character. What character is built of.
Mysicism and ’disenchantment’ of modern society of Weber asks questions that now circumvents outdated postmodernism, now again merging or rumbeling with the old strong ideas about enlightenment.
Moral is usually your personal guidelines on how to live your life most properly and at ease with others. Friends and society. Ethics is ascribed to collective rules and perceptions. the shared rules and understandings that shape societies. There is usually much ado with endless debate and discourse about moral and ethics but to me the essence simple. Both words trace their origins to custom, reflecting the way humans have always lived—anchored in the quiet wisdom of traditions forged through generations of unspoken agreements.
The just recently corrupt woke now loosing Hollywood, was a theater, an immence western cathedral of moral and stories thereof, on how to behave, how moral heralded into a world of limelight idols similar to the greek parnass, semigods, and writers that weaved the grand moral story of the west.
