Part 2 - Our New Way of Thinking
Faith is a way of thinking.
In our social conversations about the fate of our civilization, many of us are of the opinion that religion and politics are the fundamental problems. We could not be more wrong.
Religion and politics both are systems derived of The Law. When we reason by The Law, we inevitably corrupt every system we create. Religion and politics both were perfect institutions from their onset. Their present decay is the inescapable result of our primal way of thinking.

To be “Born-Again” means to begin our human existence afresh, from scratch.
The ancient texts that highlight the fundamental problem with our civilization originate from the Jewish religion. Unsurprisingly, the texts mention a solution but fail to provide the details, and this is because religion has no capacity to understand, let alone apply the solution.

Our motives define our lifestyles, not our actions.
In our present societies built on The Law, we interact with one another based strictly on our actions. We have no capacity as humans to judge each other’s motives, and so we dismiss as offensive any actions that contradict our morals, even if the motives are peaceful.
In a society built on Faith, religious texts have outlined a lifestyle, described in a ritual called “the washing of feet”. In kindergarten language, this means simply to justify each other’s “offences” as a gesture of love.
