[Vision2020] Deep in the Matrix a Voice is Heard Whispering...

[Luke]

Dear Visionaries:


> God is far too vast and complex an "idea" to be understood only one way!
> The test for humanity that the "divine" has placed before us to be open to
> all the various manifestations of the divine on earth.  People who explore
> spirituality in this manner are the chosen people.  The rest have fallen
> into the dogmatic trap of comfortable narrow belief, beliefs which in no
way
> can encompass the immense incomprehensible nature of the divine.  Such
> narrow dogmatism is an insult to the divine.

But wait, you're not being openminded to narrow dogmatism! You're excluding
narrow dogmatists from the picture! How intolerant.

And it's pretty narrowminded to say that only those who explore spirituality
in all the "various manifestations of the divine" are the chosen people. How
limited.


Cheers,
Luke
