Invert, the only thing that ever helped me was when I could learn about reality on my own from honest intelligent people, mostly from writers, and from reality itself.
They created the myth of a God to control a man's interactions with his own self. Whether you subscribe to the prevailing view of God in Christian theology or not, whatever constitutes God constitutes a certain portion of a human, sort of that extended portion like the Internet is an extension of my computer. To control others, control the way they interact with God. Control how they see God. Unfortunately that kind of control degrades both the controller and the controlled. Then the controller uses that degradation as an excuse to continue to apply control. It keeps cycling downward.
Do you want to take a look at how you yourself use the same buttons to manipulate people that authority does? Would you please? I don't believe in it for the above mentioned reasons and more.
