Some people apparently presume that religion created in the child-hood of Man, or religion for infants and children with its mommy-daddy "creator-God" is sufficient in this time and place!

Meanwhile of course there is this unique Spiritually Informed Understanding of the Bible and of the place of Christian ideology in the "21st century".

Yes Christian-ism is an ideology. And although it is dressed up in religious drag,Christian-ism is a power-and-control-seeking which seeks to control all of humankind.

An Understanding based on the most profound 50 year long depth level investigation into the origins of the Bible (and of Christian philosophy,ideology and dogma) that has ever been done on by anyone.

Such an investigation was of course not possible until the mid twentieth century with the world-wide explosion of the urgently necessary scholarship into the truth claims of Christian-ism and the fabrications origins of the Bible. Plus the ready availability of mass market paperbacks, which meant that all of the former relatively secret esoteric Spiritual philosophies of all the major religions could now be purchased by anyone at their local bookstore. And especially with the advent of the internet which now provides instantaneous access to everything about all known religions. Even via the 15 volume Encyclopedia of Religion.
Such an investigation was also necessary because of the now instantaneously inter-connectedness of this now globalized Quantum world in which everyone is now effectively living face-to-face in a very small boat. The implications of which are described here:

A quote from the same Philosopher.

"Monotheistic creationist-religion is an exclusively exoteric institutional power-entity which is intent upon controlling and managing the entire human world.
The "sacred power" that such religion claims it brings into the human world is, it says, the "creator-God" of the universe - whereas in fact, the power that such religion actually exercises (or would everywhere exercise) is that of the humanly-governed plotical, social, economic, cultural, and, altogether, mrely exoteric INSTITUTIONALIZATION of the totality of humankind.

BTW I can't help noting that the right wing of the Liberal party is looking at lot like the US Republicans. As soon as they get into power the liberalism falls away to reveal the religious reformer come to save our souls.

Get out of boardrooms and into our bedrooms.

Malcolm save us.

Some references which address the illusions plus the Spiritual and cultural illiteracy of the common mind in both its secular and religious forms that mis-informs Western man (in particular) in this time and place.
On the origins and development of the all-objectifying Western mind (the male gaze) and the universal scape goat "game" that is now being dramatized all over the planet.

How can you write a book about Jesus 300 yrs after his death and expect even a modicum of accuracy? Religion is all about controlling the masses and constantly feeble minded people become slaves to the few elites at the top,who screw them to the grave.

Be spiritual and believe in yourself and your own abilities.

Arjay, "believe in yourself and your own abilities"? sounds very much like a salesman for a pyramid scheme.

Peng the only Pyramid scheme is that of the Illuminatti and their debt money creation scams of their central private banks.

Note the all seeing eye of the Illuminatti over Sydney Harbour Bridge on New Years Eve.
