Must I feel adressed...? :hmm: Interesting stuff, but I wonder why you think this is an answer to something that I (should) have said. Nowhere I spoke of "quitting" and "evading reality". My argument is that you excatly do this if leaving all responsebility to form your stand in the world to the commandments of a god your ancestors have created - an idol, that is. I feel very much in congruence with Buddha's reasoning, or Nietzsche's thoughts, or Christian mystic in general here. So why do you think you need to give these links as an answer to me? Or have I got you wrong somewhere? Or did you feel I am criticising Judaism in any way with my above remarks? If so, that was not intended. I simply do not know it well enough to start writing long essays about it
