Of course not. I know they exist.
Every religion / belief system has its core thinkers that usually operate at such a level that they would be ineffective as clergy or teachers of the laypeople who adhere.
Its the followers that fuck up religion. People just dont get it.
I hate nothing more than a closeminded right wing shitfuck hiding behind the banner of Christianity. But I have nothing but the utmost respect for Eastern Orthodoxy and contemporary christian mystics. But to most people it is black or white. Either you like christianity, or you despise it. I am afraid its not that simple.
And that goes for any religion or belief system that could be construed as a "religion".
People are largely ignorant and should not be allowed to contemplate such matters as God. All they do is fuck it up.
If any of that made no sense, my bad. I just got back from a root canal and I havent slept in over 24 hours. I have never had a root canal before and I must say I was pleasantly surpised. I fucking hate the dentist more than a Canadian Dead Head, and I was fretting like hell. But it didnt end up hurting that bad. Fuck, they get in your tooth and the take little files and rip out the nerves and the pulp in the canal and then pack the empty space with rubber. Fuck, it sucked.
