If you have not read chapters 1, 2, and 3 scroll back and read those first please.

Apart, Chapter 4

To all the descendants of those who took the original exodus out from paradise let it be written:

Long, long ago, tired of living among the meek ones who did not care to be right,
our ancestors decided to pack a chest and to leave them;

we'd take along a god that belongs to us, the highest and the best,
who will stand along side of us in a well provisioned quest;
who will lead us to our country (and in our minds we draw a fence where no fence really is);
one that we only think our own shall separate us from the rest;
and declare we believe this fence drawn by the Hand of an Almighty God (although we know better)
who told one of us it's our duty to cause our destiny to manifest.

(shout) And, we want both!

Oh, we want a strong warrior god we can believe in and we demand all that that god can give!
We want a servile milk cow; a cow on which all who are like us can depend!
We want the milk always to be getting better and

What we believe we shall defend!

(aside) Nothing wrong with playing a game with an imaginary cow, right?

Answer: Everything is fine until you want to have real milk with your coffee.
Then it begins to get weird. The coffee is going to have to be imaginary coffee.
And, the breakfast you want with your imaginary coffee and imaginary milk? that is going to have to be imaginary as well…
and this is not going to end lest you give up the entire accursed game, leave the train bound for Hell.
Let's see...has it been 10,000 years? a thousand declared nations?
How many add-on theories have there been?
How many dead martyrs?
How many unknown innocents betrayed?
(shout!) Whole gen-er-a-tions!

It must come finally down to this: much blather and chatter about nothing at the highest possible cost until... all is lost.

Reality cannot be captured in the imaginary kingdoms of man. Peace that comes that way is going always to be imaginary peace. People assemble in a building where some wear robes and practice chanting about it and claim it is real for that reason. A child knows better! Are we not convinced of that by now? How long is it going to continue to be fake? All that has been laid before you here is equally applicable to both our gods...to religion and to science.

Laying aside all differences, with that which remains at hand proceed. It will be rebuilt by truth in joy as if by magic. That is so because we have the way safely tucked away inside us; we each hold a piece of an exact pattern of the best possible system for living together like it was diagrammed on our souls. The piece is known to each as a calling. Can you hear it?


One rule: Nobody has to join us and nobody can stand in our way.
