If all the major religions of the world are really no more than institutions representing belief systems that are meant to pacify our fears, relieve our suffering, and/or meet our need of a superior authority ...
And if all the history and ideas of philosophy are nothing more than evidence of the dualistic paradigm, in which the philosopher (and his followers, of course) must presume that a human can meaningfully *nalyze Reality as "other" ...
And, indeed, if the dominant belief system of modernity, scientism, can only give righteous attention to the "seen," having to leave the "unseen" to its antithetical partner in the paradigm, pseudo-science ...
Then how are we ever going to come up with a proper question, and how would it ever be answered anyway?
