Reflecting on the documentary film: Deliver us from evil

The subdued voices squirm in the domes of imposed silence.

Physical abuse
is faith - shattered;
spiritual abuse
is faith - erased!




Man’s journey of civilization from the dearth of his savage past is far from complete.

For the inherent solace of societal bonding, we tend to associate ourselves with a specific faith. As a consequence, we indulge in the oblivious surrender of the self as we place all our fears and beliefs on the strength of a concept called ‘God’. For matters of hypothetical convenience let us keep the petty issue of religion out of the discussion. However, as we retract and examine the horrors committed by mankind in the name of God, the list is excruciating: the Crusades, the Holocaust, the endless bloody riots, the religious sacrifices and the recent exposés of child abuse committed by none other than the guardians of faith. From these illustrations the dynamics of the Supreme Conscience are very clear. The choice for God, or let us uncomplicate the term & just settle on ‘Supreme force’, is never between good & evil. In higher realms, absolute functioning is rather about deciding a time for either progress or regress, to fine-tune a balance between both, and thereby regulate the eternal order of the universe.

I watch this unsuccessfully debated and defended every sunday. I find some solace in agnotism. Its for people who are neither meek nor militant about faith.
