Mr fight the power,

I am pleased you agree with the premise but I am afraid in order to make it interesting we need someone who has a problem with it.Perhaps not,if we expand on the theme,for I believe the majority of people would still reject this premise.What about all the hero worship,the suffering and selfless acts of all these historical figures,the public at large have just stop short of making Gods out of some of these characters.Indeed I think we all prefer to believe humanity is capable of selflessness.

Nietzsche inferred,rather than truth being our deliverance,perhaps it is the lie,the falsehood,whether we call these things lies or functional illusions they are part of a complex structure.Christian morality would have difficulty with this-----to Nietzsche's delight.The believers modivation to worship is,you guessed it,selfish! What would it mean to not tolerate the myth of pure altruism,most people find the term supspect in practise anyway,just another means to make the average guy feel inadequate.Any thoughts? I going back to my room now!
