Are you with us?

The conflict in the world today is not between good and evil, as people often project it to be. The conflict in the world is always between one man’s belief and another man’s belief. What we forget is that belief is cultural. What you believe or disbelieve has nothing to do with reality. It has simply got to do with how much influence somebody has had upon you. If only people were identified with their humanity, rather than with their religions and communities, it would be possible to sit down and settle these issues. But sadly that isn’t the case.
The only solution is to address the question of human well being scientifically; to present the inner mechanics of human nature not as a philosophy or belief system, but as a technology.
