One of my workmates stormed off in a huff today because I wouldn't listen. Now, I was trying to explain to him that people walking on water and being born of virgins is just not on and he started telling me to listen, while explaining why there must be a supreme being. Of course, I wasn't going to listen because that is not really what I was talking about and his rabbiting on about this was only indicative of his having never listened and, well, never really wanting to. There are a lot of people who just don't get the point.
Anyway, if there is a higher spirtuality, supreme being or whatever out there we might get in touch with it and have our own little enlightenment. However, a couple of things are required for this to happen. The first thing is that there is indeed that higher spirituality out there and the second one is that we clear our heads of the poppycock and the nonsense that we call religion. Stangely those who spout out the nonsense are generally intolerant of those who preach similar nonsense or a variation of the theme. We would do well to remind them that the tolerance that exists to no little extent in the West is not because of them but in spite of them.
