The Crumbling Juggernaut of Faith
Far from the dimming eyes of the sinking sun under the stupor of waxing darkness across the Westside horizon, the decaying gargoyle of our once unfathomable trust in the supreme order seems to have washed ashore like a fallen angle who is being dragged kicking and screaming by the rather reverential demons of the new world order.
This is nothing short of being congratulatory about the decadence of our own lifeblood under the influence of an unprecedented mass hysteria, but the real ironical slap in the face of this whole shebang is manifested in the ever-increasing ego driven mania towards the acquisition of more and more control over this petty and insignificantly lived life at the mercy of the inevitable clinch of the grim reaper.
On the other hand, this also shows that homogeneity of the system, once believed to be restricted or rather defined by the notions impregnated by the mythical wisdom is yielding to the randomness and chaos. One’s own defined monotheism is defining his or her religion stance therefore being judgmental by looking at representation of divinity imbued in mud doesn’t not infer the same about the divinity. As the traditional Taoist saying goes: "The Tao that can be told is not the Eternal Tao", it is quite evident that idol is a signpost to God, but it is not God itself. It is the “true-to-our-eyes” guise of the "Dogma of God” that becomes an object of worship. We perceive God in our very own way and there is no duplicity in the combination of the universality of God and the uniqueness of every individual.
It is true that by this reasoning, any form of fundamentalism is idolatry, whether monotheist, polytheist, or other. Having said that I personally believe that there are certain forms of faith resonating with cords of billions of the masses and any act of disrespect shown to them to some extent reflects the graduating moral bankruptcy of the society that we live in.
Have a Nice life ............
