Re: Are Our Religious Idea's Our Own?
[QUOTE=Heretic;80089]
Yet like the parasite we seem to resemble the orientation of service to self, with lofty goals of moving towards the quid pro quo mentality in relationship to our host, the earth. This indeed could allow for sustainability without the need for relocation. Would this agenda result in a symbiotic relationship avoiding the “service to other” approach?

I would think, that any admirable thing we could ever become, would look down on the very question you propose here. We should not contemplate avoiding a "service-to-others" mentality, we should live to embrace it. Maybe the trick with our species is finding alignment betwee self-interest and public interest - between "service to self" and "service to others" philosophies?
That is some deep stuff you raise there Heretic, and I ain't even done reading the rest of thread yet!
Probably post more later . . .
