Well exactly. Believing there is an etheric oneness that we all belong to, is merely a version of perception. Believing the universe and everything in it is an expression of a higher power, is a way of seeing things. Believing that god is a personality that sent his son to die for us, is myth for some, valuable lessons for others. Believing that after dying he went to america and wrote down a book in a language not yet spoken, starts to move into other territory. The sort of territory where there are unicorns and pixies. Fine for people to belive whatever, but would you want someone so credulous to have his hands on the button?
"Sir, we've had reports of demon hoardes in Uruguay. Shall we shoot now or wait for confirmation?"
And this is not an attack on any religion but merely a question of whether the credulity of those who put themselves up for office should be scrutinised.
Would you want a president that believed in, say, alien abductions?
