(December 7, 2013 at 6:15 am)theyear12013 Wrote: The Enlightenment has benefited society materially, but spiritually it has not sufficiently fought for its place other than through 'political' and academic discourse and participation (ie citizen before the law etc). "Global citizenship" is a palliative that masks the still supreme position Abrahamic faiths have had since the conversion of Rome. Can the Enlightenment once and for all move humanity past Jerusalem and Rome? Can we forge a new holy place?

Why would we want a "new holy place"?
