And our image has not changed that much since whenever it first occurred to us to have one. We are confronted with our fragility. R eligions that divide us from each other and which alienate us from our earthly home are out of harmony with this age. They cannot survive. We cannot survive them.
Religion can have the power to transform, to save.
Religion is not divine but is created by human beings, consciously or not, to serve our purposes. We now have the opportunity to transform those purposes, so that our religions no longer serve our differences, but serve our common humanity. From where you see it, the thing is a whole, and it's so beautiful. Any other proclamation is Anti-Christ, untruth, false gods in service of race, nation, wealth and power. It is not a new, mad vision.
