Just as an after-thought, I used to think that one could believe in anything and it would achieve the same objective – get up in the morning and procreate that night.

Since 9-11, I’ve changed my view; content is important.

9-11 exposed the fault-line in my thinking – paganism, as exemplified in Europe, leads to Yeats’ Second Coming. What a slouch was Nazi Germany, Russia. A (for me, newly discover) vicious religion gave the lie to religion being cool (I refer here, of course, to the Aztecs).

So now, I must make choices. Content is important. Sorta back to Where I Stood.
