2. Read the First book of Samuel. Try to read past the Iron Age rhetoric.

The prophet Samuel knew something. He prayed and prayed. He said the Lord Creator told him that, in rejecting representative democracy, the people were actually rejecting Him their Creator. Good grief, people, Samuel was talking about three thousand years ago! Of course he doesn't have our vocabulary! This is actually the message of this prophet! And remember the story of the prophet of the Creator, trying to reach the actual Creator, who knew that drenched "precious stone" rocks would attract lightning ("fire from heaven&quot , because he had actually observed how the real physical universe works! What we have been taught to call religion is actually false, and the real Creator is there in the scientifically observed reality. We are supposed to use our means of observation, our powers of reason, and our fire of love inside our hearts, to work together to help each other.
