I know what you meant, right?

The "moralists" you speak of, are only a small subset of religious believers.

Actually, they're the ones who don't really "get" religion. THey're the ones who think it's about the "authority" of God, and "behaving correctly" in God's eyes.

And so, it naturally follows then, that they think "everyone else" oughta behave "correctly" too.

But I mean, that whole mentality and mindset, is instantly and completely contradicted by a "true" religious experience. At that point, if and when that happens, all this nonsense about "correctness" (in its various forms) disappears, and it's replaced by an overwhelming sense of natural "harmony". It's indescribable, really, to someone who's never had such an experience. All I can tell you is, that it's a wonderful thing. It'll change forever, the way you look at the world. You'll never be able to look at it the same way again, after having had an experience like that.

It's what happens "after" that, that you gotta be careful about.

'Cause that's when your mind starts trying to "rationalize" it - and it's like, don't. Just leave it alone. Let it be what it is. Any "structure" you assign to it, is gonna ruin it. Then it's gonna become a political instrument, instead of a spiritual one.

Just like, dig that you're a child of God, and communicate with your Dad, and he'll tell you what the right thing to do is. You know, you don't have to listen to any of these clowns who want to "translate" God's word for you. You can hear it yourself, up close and personal.
