You do know that there are a bunch of other religions that are older and way more peaceful, right? Buddhism, for example.The truth is timeless. Belief and faith only prefigure the awakening of the truth in oneself. Belief is indirect and volitional; knowledge is direct and Intellective. But belief encourages an attitude of interiorisation, and culminates in the reflection of the Intellect upon itself. We can know the truth, because we are the truth. The truth is merely eclipsed by the vanities and worldly attachments of man. Christianity gives man a key-idea that opposes these illusions, so that he can find the truth in himself.
Buddhism is another interiorising religion. Despite its methodological differences, the Buddhist vision actually reinforces the truth of Christianity; it may not call it God, for its method is one of silence, yet it contains the reality of God in the form of Transcendence and Immanent Justice.
Wow, a whole lot of words to say fuck all.
