I Believe… [The Ladder of Secular Religiosity]

By Don Hall

…that the sudden realization that so many opinions in the world do not align with your own probably shouldn’t result in your declaration of war against all of those opinions.

…that anti-racism isn’t anti-white. If your version conflates the two, you’re a cog in the wheel of racist thought.

…that I need to read more fiction and less internet in 2020.

…that if you believe it is the System fueled by Evil Other People that is the cause for your lousy lot in life you have started on the first rung of the Ladder of Secular Religiosity. Until you realize the System is you and your myriad of interconnected choices, get ready for the zealotry ride of your life.

…that starving people will believe anything if it provides them a sandwich and an Xtra Large fountain drink.
