Sorry, I'm leaving myself raw for now.

Here, I'll rewrite that last thing.


Belief or the lack of such is a nonissue on every level, especially the psychological.

The psychological part is what makes this all possible for the political.
At the level of politics, it's just the first, simple, vague category for, what I call the transgovernmental peasant-sorting.
It could also be called the extraterrestrial human-sorting, interracial intercompany customer-categorization. No matter what your personal conspiracy-belief system is, it's simply people organizing other people. Everyone does it; so far as I know there's no one that makes no distinction whatsoever between peoples' differences. Race, religion, sleeping habits,

Everyone's gotta have their own little drawer and file, Obama goes here, Britney goes there. Steven Hyde, Janice Joplin, Venus and Serena, OJ, the X-Men, all go in the Pop file, and in my family file, there's my brother, the dog goes over there, and that there's the file for Animals, Plants and the nameless people on the street, Streetpeople. Andy McKee, Steve Vai, John Mayer, dingoes, Steve Jordan, Elephant man. Then there's all the cabinets for ideas, concepts, talents, Karate, sleeping, technology and of course, belief. Of course.

The reason religion is such a vague and often touchy topic is that in Theologistics (belief draws its academic relevance from this plane of thought) the basic assumption is the protection of the Instinct/Conscience borderline. This isn't a conscious protection, of course; it is a mental borderline, of course; and a man made one at at that. Of course primal man had no concept of the difference! He had a feeling that there must've been something that allowed him thoughts, and he praised it when he saw things in the sky, or made fire, or got a lucky break when he was out hunting. There was no difference between his instinctive belief and the evidence he thought he saw. It was the later humans that found out that there was a difference, and what I'm saying is that I think we CREATED that difference by discovering it.

The instinct/conscience borderline.

Borders are just imaginary lines that make people feel self-important. It's divvying up our psyche. Natural inclinations put into sterile categories. 'Nuff said.
