Repulsed in fact. In direct contradiction of your previous statement: "independent investigation of truth." Organized religion is the enemy of truth, attend any sermon, church, or book burning if you have doubts. > -religion must be in conformity with science and reason Then it ain't religion is it? If it's in total conformity with science and reason, then at best we call it "philosophy" *not* religion. > -religious, political, economic and patriotic prejudices destroy > the edifice of humanity Ok, are you a little schizoid? You promote religious principles, then state that they destroy the edifice of humanity. This message is anything but an appeal to reason. Political, economic, and patriotic features of a social order are not inherently prejudiced or non-prejudiced, they simply reflect realities of the social fabric we find ourselves in. I see one thing you do have in common with conventional religions, black & white belief systems. I bet this messy, fuzzy, ugly, real life situation is the bane of your existance isn't it? > -struggle for existence is the fountain-head of all calamities and > is the supreme affliction Without any struggle I see an awful lot of boredom. Struggle, conflict, these are the dramas of our lives. Without any struggle, any conflict, I see supreme boredom. > -material civilization need be combined with Divine civilization I have no idea what this means. > -promotion of universal education I have no idea what this means. > -essential basis of all the Divine religions is one Scary stuff mein fuhrer. > -spiritual solution to the economic problem Ok, call up the Federal Reserve, I bet that bunch of Illuminati FreeMasons will be ready to implement that poste haste. > -a world commonwealth Facism. > -a world federal system of government Facism. > -a world legislature Facism. > -a world executive Facism. > -a world tribunal Facism. > -a world inter-communication mechanism Already have one.
