@amerika This is awesome. All truth lies in experience. Written, universal truths are a veil between you and that experience.As an ex-Christian denier of Jehovah, is Phaedo worthwhile reading?

@basileion Yes. It is like the good parts of Christianity and Buddhism in a handy package.http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/phaedo.htmlAs a perennialist, I see all religions as describing the same metaphysical truth of our universe, but I think often stuff gets injected to control us that deceives us.

@amerika I agree. The best parts seem to be the mythology, or tales of sorts, rather than the dogmatizing moralism.

@basileion Religion is better told through heroic tales; I think Tolkien and Lewis nailed that one.Most people just need to know this is a good universe, probably the best of all possible options, and that it is benevolent and urges us to be better.
