This Post is not exactly about Darwin or Creationism, however it does serve as a model. This post is more about the nature of belief, sanity and the Psychic censor.

Psychic Censor, if you’ve not been reading this blog or arn’t otherwise familiar with the concept, is that sceptical part of your mind that doubts magic or anything supernatural could be real. All of us posess a psychic censor, but clearly, that of an honest Creationist and that of a materialist scientist would be at odds. There is a conclusion this evidence suggests, not that one point of view is right and the other wrong- there are intelligent people representing both points of view – what can be concluded relates to the human  nature of belief and truth.

We imagine we examine evidence and then arrive at conclusions. We might do that, but we’re too clever. We can bring to evidence existing conclusions and interpret the evidence to make it fit.  That’s how people are of a different political party or different religious faith than you and feel just like you do that they understand what’s real – and you’re the amazingly stupid idiot. (Note that I  too am personally and automatically  intolerant of those that oppose my pre-existing bias and beliefs, I do speak for myself).

Now, relating to the article, I personally find it a shame that Creationists are allowing evolution even limited recognition, even though the fact of evolution is observable phenomena in nature. Why? Because hard line Creationists allow occult magicians to occur as tame and grounded in reality by comparison? At least Creationists convictions relating to the age of the Earth are starkly contradicted by the physical evidence of geologic record.

A conversation I had with my uncle the other day. If you believe God has written instruction personally to you on golden tablets no one else has seen, as an individual almost any psychiatrist would understand this belief to support a diagnosis of mental illness. Yet if you are a Mormon, representing the identical belief but on a mass scale – you are sane.

For those of you with a profound sense of magic not being real, understand that far wilder assumptions are broadly accepted – a belief in magic is actually conservative in scope. Chaos Magic isn’t suggesting you believe anything as truth, but rather, use  belief as a tool. Magic isn’t science, but because of the inescapable element of subjectivity that necessarilly magic is steeped in. Inside that limitation, what matters are real results – that comforts many psychic censors.

To leave you with a fable then.

A wise man became aware that the town’s water supply was to be poisoned in the space of a week, a poison that would drive people insane. The wise man warned everyone of this and he took the initiative to find a separate well where the water would be safe. Unfortunately, the wise man’s warning was  not believed and went unheeded. The town people drank of the poisoned water source, and sure enough, they all lost their sanity.

The wise man, with his secure well water did not go insane. But he was alone in his sanity. Alone, lonely and unhappy. So the wise man drnk of the poisoned water that he would share in the insanity of the townspeople and enjoy compainionship once again.

The end.
