In the context of history, we live in an age of unparalleled science and rationality. But despite this, religion and ideas of mysticism – along with other fringe concerns such as conspiracy, etc – continue to thrive. I gather that you're rationalists, atheists, etc – but the idea of the mystic obviously has an appeal to you ...
"Eoin: "There's a lot to play with there, for an artist. It affects people even if they don't consider themselves to be religious. Nobody really wants to accept that we're just a colony of organisms hurtling through a void on a ball of rock. I'd guess that's it, that the most rational individual doesn't really want to have his beliefs completely confirmed. It's in human nature to pursue spiritual or fantastic things, for whatever reason, that's why we like art and escapism, isn't it? Humans like to feel there's a purpose, even if there isn't one!""

And this also applies to those who don't believe in Jesus : you have good reasons not to believe in Him, and personally, I don't know if He is authentic; but if He returns to Earth as the Prophecies foretell, then it will be obvious to all of us. In the meantime, it's up to us to do everything we can, to… “repair the world” (Tikkun Olam).
For humanity to become emancipated, everyone must make an effort, everyone must accept the idea that they have been manipulated all along, atheists must admit that science has never refuted the existence of God, and religious people who cultivate hatred towards certain believers must also compromise and open themselves up to others.
And of course, I'm no one to say “some should do this, others should do that,” because I have no authority and I can't even quit smoking, lol. We're always much better at giving advice to others than at applying our own advice to ourselves
But I hope you'll find some interesting food for thought here and there. And as always, if I say anything wrong, please let me know ♥♫
