The passionate meeting of religious nutbreakers in Melbourne next week would make an interesting psychological study. They want to get rid of organized religions , but seem to be acting just like them. Some questions for observers might be
What will be in evidence there for:
- confession ( " all humans seem to need a god of some kind" )
- projection (ie "takes one to know one ")
- deep reality ("God , whoever you think he/she is is not here , there or anywhere!" "we can prove it !")
- no heretical talk (God talk is banned )
- competition ("my god is better than your god")
- denial ( "I am not religiuos "; "My neighbour is not like me at all "
- fanaticism Check out the post conference POST HERE
Amongst other things , the unbelievers are promoting the conference as a means of freeing the world from "blinkered" thinking.
Why wouldn't a less reactionary and closed framework provide a better paradigm for lateral thinking than the one that they reckon stiffles reality thinking ( the categories above) .
Worse, if the psychologists are right (we all invent gods) maybe failure to admit this reality maybe their BIG stumbling block to progress NEXT WEEK.
