Lovely. This is a wonderful topic for the times. And you cover it eloquently. Did the stories of God emerge from humans wrestling with consciousness and death over millennia? Or did the stories reveal the God who was there all along. I am on Team God, but have loved my post-Covid atheist connections. Many have a clear perspective on the cult apparatuses. (Some are in their own cult obviously) We are seeing a total dismemberment of the Enlightenment. Part of me wonders is these past 500 years are the anomaly and that peoples need subjugation. The Fall of Rome 2.0 might be the Long March to the loving arms of Feudalism.

If you haven’t yet, consider listening to Jordan Peterson’s Genesis series. That is, if you can stand him getting wrapped around his own axel of language precision. It doesn’t bother me. But it drives Mrs Clown crazy.
