Religion as the product of human uncertainty
Have you ever walked out of a lecture believing the speaker was a complete academic introvert? someone who toils in abstract and brilliant flourishes of inately simple ideas? We'll I did. And just as two other people talked to me on the elevator down -we joked and made fun of his logic in regard to an element of his talk ( the neccesity of a sacrificial lamb when faced with great uncertainty). We joked -we made fun of him. Why? Because he was the sacrificial lamb! Our own disregard for his intellectual perponderances led us back to one thing -the simple force of human nature that we bemoaned. Was this a clever trick? Perhaps. However, when you sit alone with those ideas you become afraid. Afraid because you can no longer sacrifice the messenger -you've been effectively sealed by logic into a truth you cannot accept.
I cannot for certain say that I am corrected in regard to my philosophy - I can say I'm troubled. I can say God is providing me with an intense discourse in philosophy. I am provided a problem that I am expected to solve -to understand - to provide a rest to....such is a sad feeling when the soul is embattled on many fronts.
