As I have often said, "What great feat is it to say that the most precise language we have developed describes things precisely?"

Then what? What's past this hump for each of us either way? Would life be any different for any of you personally? What about globally? How would things change here on planet earth? For me personally, nothing would be any different.-Truthfully: If it was discovered it wouldn't really be us in our generation that would likely suffer any theosophical consequences. To a great degree, I think as you do: Finding out that God really did exist wouldn't in my case change how I did anything. But my kids? Their kids? It would certainly cause a giant influx in philosophical and theological thinking, and it IS this kind of thinking that shapes and molds societies. We live in two worlds, the physical and the human, and the human world is more shapeable than most of us care to admit. -In my case, I developed essentially god-free, and I note it ironic that even though I did try the whole religion thing... I'm still back to where I was when I was 10-11.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
