Correlation is not causation.
Dogs use their tails for communication. But that doesn’t mean that such is why they grew them.
In trying to explain to some families how to avoid dying out, or how to escape slavery, methods to be highly respected are distributed to the enslaved or dying out. And the excuse for respected them is; “That’s just the way it is” and “Because this is what works”. They ask "Who are we having faith in? Who is our guide and lead? “I am that I am”, they are told. “Worship no one other than Me, and you will not die out and they can never enslave you again.”
Today when slavery of a different type is being instilled, you might notice the strong push against any idea that there is a Reality (aka “Everything is relative”, “Everything is mind”, “multiple realities”, "multiple parallel universes, “No one can really know”, “faith is for the foolish”, “There is no Truth”, “No one can know anything for certain”, “Only scientists know (the new priesthood)”, and “There is no evidence at all to have faith in any God, damn you!”.
Guess what? Atheists are actually fighting for the return of enslavement by the Pharaohs via the method of “blame-shifting” and “scapegoating”; “Those evil God worshipers are just trying to enslave you” when in fact, as is very often the case, the reverse is more true. Who you think to be the “good guys on your side”, are in fact, the “bad guys setting you up”. But that’s not to say that the effort to enslave is only one sided. First chance given, former slaves do everything they can to enslave everyone else.
“Make it look good, safe, innocent, and wise… until it is too late to choose otherwise.”
What was the solution to their riddle?
One word;
[list]Truth (meaning “Reality”, “Your Real Situation”)[/list:u]
“The Truth will set you free” (as long as you maintain faith in it). Respect/worship nothing else.
How do we know Truth?
…not easily. “Pray to” (humbly seek of) Reality. Meditate on it. Contemplate it. But Nullius en verba.
