Is it so hard not to build a culture around religion (and 'faith')?
Some people can't afford books that have sunsets and white couples splashed all over the covers. Some people can't afford Bibles that are printed on acid-free paper with Moroccan leather covers. Some people don't have all the energy to be participative on demand. Some people are incompatible with the conservatism of privileged, educated, middle-class Chinese people with their 'existential' 'problems'...
Is this imperialism inherited?
Is it wrong to examine things critically? Is it wrong to be skeptical now? Isn't the practice of examining things critically for the sake of refuting doubt to augment belief somewhat dubious?
When will we finally acknowledge inherent hypocrisies?
What is 'belief'? Do we really have autonomy over our 'beliefs'?
Why does 'tradition' maintain such an esteemed role?
Why is this source of power now human?
