Mad No More

"And so, while religious people are not generally mad, their core beliefs absolutely are."

-- Sam Harris

Virgin birth, resurrection, one and only son of God -- all such beliefs, from each and every tradition, are indeed "mad." They make no sense, they defy the laws of physics, much less commonsense, but most of all they are totally unnecessary.

Beliefs are used mainly to divide and separate. Believers and non-believers, the saved versus the damned, the saints against the sinners -- all such distinctions are man made crap!

Truth be told, we are One. One human race. One in the Spirit. The only sin is the second.

Faith without beliefs is unifying. Faith in ourselves, in each other, in the Universe. If we drop beliefs and emphasize faith, we create a totally different world, a world of unity, a world where we recognize that we're truly all in this together.

Try it for one day -- forgo madness for faith. Let go of beliefs and see what remains. Beneath and beyond all your ideas, concepts and myths, you might even find reality, you might even find love.
