- Great post. Very true. - Where I'm at mentally: Human activity can be so bad that it's preferable to believe in God in order to have a defense against demonic behavior. - To go one level deeper, and to turn the focus away from other people, I understand my own proclivity towards evil / sin, which is quite strong, and the church offers a remedy, which is significantly better than the only two real alternatives: buddhism & nilihism. (I don't consider Nietzche's Ubermensch a viable alternative.) - That said, i still think the faith should be held in balance / tension against instinct / thor / odin / zeus / darwin. Sanity / truth emerges from the tension of opposites. - Incidentally, this is a way to avoid the temptation to try to justify christianity in the terms of scientific proof. I watched a lot of people try to do this. It's pointless. Cedes frame. - The faith is the faith. It needs no further justification. - cf "I am who i am" / ipsum esse

Tela Network's report-at-large has released the following Special Report: The Great Sacrifice unto the gods of Productivity, Efficiency, and Doing-More-With-Less has begun. From his seat at the Holy Cathedral in Seattle, The Holy Archbishop, Andy Jassey the Productive has offered the livelihoods of approximately 14000 loyal worshippers unto the aforementioned gods. Rumours are swirling that this is to be the greatest, the most substantial sacrifice of souls unto the holy gods. A second wave of sacrifice will commence in January and will be greater still. The loyal followers of the Holy Church of Tech will take comfort in knowing that their sacrifice will make the Holy Church more efficient, more collaborative, more productive, and above all, leaner. This is a comforting thought for those selected for sacrifice. Hail unto the Holy Gods of Productivity, Efficiency, and Doing-More-With-Less. Know that your sacrifice will also increase stockprice.
