No God is the truth. Yes it is true there is no God. Assumptions we adopt to explain the world to ourself so color our perception of the information we receive that it often does seem as though others who do not share our strongly held beliefs are alien to us. As we extend our manipulative and sensory capabilities we tread more and more into the domain long thought to be only reachable and changeable by divine power. So deeply rooted are such radical premises that an easy to detect segment of humanity has developed the notion that these new abilities have to be the due to the efforts of the Devil or Space aliens.
Rapid changes tax the adaptability of individuals and societies.
The fast flux of new, different, and often not in sync with the old, ideas and beliefs can quickly become very socially divisive. It is indicative of a divide that ostensibly separates the objective from the subjective view of reality. A self-similar view is what I find to be most consistent with what we have observed to date. Though many of these once formally accepted beliefs have been adjusted due to the trend of new information there are still quit a few imbedded ideas and assumptions that tend to produce conflict among parties that have become interested in this field of inquiry. I think that it would be a good exercise to identify some of these 'givens' that often get in the way of clear communication.
