Mary,
Please accept my apology if my posts sounded like I was directing them
to you. I don't think you and I know one another. My remarks were in
response to Bob Evans article.
Despite my contention that Bob is demonstrating Missionary Ferber, I
do believe that his ongoing participation on the Blind Democracy List
has helped him express his thinking more clearly. Bob still struggles
with English, but appears to be improving. But even more to the
point, Bob has moved some from his strident attacks on all Americans,
and has begun to understand that America is made up of a broad variety
of People and Beliefs. I personally believe that initially Bob(at
that time called Mostafa),saw himself as a teacher, spreading the True
Faith to blind people on the list. Despite his continuing missionary
approach, he does seem more moderate and more understanding.

Carl, Why don't you deal with me instead defending why you won't engage in
futility. I never once said I am right and all others are wrong. I never
said what I spiritually believed. I did say we are all in the same boat. I
did say you are in error if all you understand about a spiritual system is
that an invisible guy in the sky created you. You can't reject what you
don't understand. And I would further pose that you do have a spiritual
system, even if it is to deny a god. And your certainty about that is as
uncertain as anyone's on earth. We are in the same boat. And we are all, in
a deep way, as correct as we can be. And as incorrect. The only one I see in
attack mode is you......and you attack the insignificant evergreen tree.
You might also look into symbolism and how it aids the fallible human mind
to try to grasp mystery.

There is nothing so futile as an exercise in futility.
And once again we prove it. There are two hard and true facts in any
discussion of this nature. 1. I am right!
2. Everyone else is wrong!
Each of us, regardless of our basic Beliefs, become a Missionary,
setting out to demonstrate the "rightnous" of our Belief, and the
"wrongness" of everyone else. Sometimes we are gentle in our attack
on everyone else, and sometimes we become rather nasty. But always it
is from the position of each of us being Right, and everyone else,
Wrong!
And when we are not defending our Belief, by attacking all others, we
are wondering why people can't seem to get along.
Now I'm not a Believer any longer. My reason for leaving the Faith
was due to this very demonstration. I awoke from a deep dream one
morning and asked myself, "Self! What sort of Almighty Creator would
allow Humans to gather in little self righteous groups and spend
thousands of years fighting each other?
But that's me, and I came to my present place in thought in my own way
and in my own time. To my simple mind, that is the only way each of
us will resolve this discussion. And then it will not matter what
others believe, just so long as they do not believe that they are
obligated to kill me if I do not believe as they do.
