Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

The Moment I Realized I Was an Atheist [ Yes, you can GO HOME AGAIN to God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost , Holy Mary and the Saints ]
As a long time independent democratic socialist ( and a pre-Vatican II type " Old Catholic " ) I get a sardonic chuckle out of these New Atheist Cult epiphanies about God's non-existence. The convert to the Church of the New Atheism owes much to THEIR faith in LOGIC & REASON, he thinks . But with a very human brain now stuck with fine tuned LOGIC & REASON he might ( out of pure boredom ? ) apply this cerebral power to CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM , and ISRAELI ZIONISM. Soon he finds the members of the New Atheist Local shunning him .He is threatened with EXCOMMUNICATION from the Cult .He had violated a mostly unspoken taboo : Breaking silence about THEIR right wing political agenda. While his LOGIC & REASON began to find LOGIC & REASON flaws in CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM , THEIR LOGIC & REASON found that all three passed the gray matter test. The lonely new convert begins to miss God !
Numerous individuals with some regrettable experience in " officially atheist " Marxist " vanguard party " cults will show empathy here. Can YOU GO HOME AGAIN , to God , Jesus, the Holy Ghost ,Holy Mary and the Saints ? Yes , you can ! Read the biography of Saint Augustine . DOMINUS VOBISCUM !
AI Overview
[ "During Winston Smith's torture in the Ministry of Love, O'Brien engages him in philosophical discussions about the Party's power and its control over reality.
O'Brien suggests that the Party holds the ultimate power and can define truth, essentially stating that the Party's will replaces the concept of God or any external reality. While there isn't a direct question asking if Winston believes in God, O'Brien states that "God is power" and that the Party, through its control over life, acts as the "priests of power".
Through his words and actions, O'Brien makes it clear that the Party has supplanted any traditional notions of religion or a higher power, replacing them with unquestioning loyalty and belief in Big Brother. " ]
