“Using scripture to decode morality,
is like using the abacus to code iOS.
Likewise, using mere reason to decode life,
is like trading in a family for computers.
Computers do have a role in family,
But computers are not family themselves.
Just like scriptures may have a role in life,
But scriptures alone ain't life themselves.
The coming generations will sure be free,
from the stupidity of fundamentalist religiosity.
But they'll be the victim of a new stupidity, i.e.
intellectual fundamentalism or militant logicality.
And trading in one stupidity for another,
only gets us stuck in derangement eternal.
Just know, love has no proof, love is the proof,
And, love has no gospel, love is the gospel.
When love is the center of our field of vision,
All things civilized attain their rightful place.
But when we replace love with either ritual or reason,
We end up with everything except peace and wellness.”
