Invisible Religions, gods, devils, angels, demons, heavens and hell are created from myriad myths and fractured-fairy tales. Kings, queens, dictators, tyrants, thugs and royalty developed and delivered religion to placate and intimidate masses of angry uneducated peasants. History has been forever rewritten to reinforce this creative and imaginative synthesis.
“From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity.”
― Edvard Munch

“Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us.”
―Albert Einstein…

Sometimes fervent and sincere beliefs about truth, lies, science and fiction are tiny human guesses about misapprehension, confusion, bias, fear, myths and magic.
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.”
—Chief Tecumseh
