Subject: RE: BS: Immaculate mis-conception
Well...you've been quite busy immaculately misconceiving for the last couple of days, haven't you?

Subtlety, lads, subtlety! It's badly needed if you wish to talk about such matters as the Virgin Mary and create anything except a bunch of pointless noise.

"Mary" is an archetype. A great symbol. You either know that or you don't. If you don't, you will grasp nothing useful about her whatsoever. The archetype existed eons before the historical woman did, and it will always exist, even if this planet burns up and vanishes into dust.

The historical organized religions on this planet are man's faltering (but often noble) attempts to grasp great truths that predated this world, and will last long after it and those religions have vanished utterly.

You think you're human. Well, you are, but you're more than that. Human is just the most obvious part of you that you see on the surface. It's skin deep and temporary. You are life itself, manifesting as human for a very short dramatic episode which you call your "life" as you presently know it. Life itself is not limited to form. It's intelligent energy. It brings forth form when and where it chooses to.

It chose to make Clinton and Martin just as they are. "Fascinating," as Spock would say...

You guys (Clinton and Martin) think very small, that's your problem. But I love it when you argue with one another...it's funny.

I mean, isn't it great to be someone who knows everything? It provides such self-assurance. We all ought to form a club or write a book or something, and straighten out everybody else, right? We could call it, "My Religion is ME". I bet it would sell like crazy.

Clinton, I think that's what your religion truly is: it's you. You have tremendous faith in YOU. Your God lives in the mirror. Can you understand why this makes a lot of sense to you, but maybe not so much sense to most other people? Still, I'm sure it helps you get things done...
