All historical art and literature is highly religious in nature, and art and literature and highly correlated with highly levels of consciousness. Even the Bible itself is mostly poetry, and books like Isaiah are 99% poetry. Do you want to know where secular art takes you? Anti-art. Socialist realism. People literally putting literal feces on a pedestal.<br /><br />Theism without religion is really Epicureanism. Your theology is identical to Epicurus's theology: the gods exist but it is wrong to worship them. Of course polytheism is a falsehood because the idea of gods in plural is an incoherent concept: God exists and God must be the greatest conceivable being, and there's only one metaphysical entity between God qua greatest conceivable being and humans, viz. angels. There is quite frankly no room for gods in plural.HolyKnowinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109864288446595298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203016.post-67578327238870180002009-12-22T21:12:40.585-08:002009-12-22T21:12:40.585-08:00Two behaviorists have sex.
