Tao Stoic 164

"This man, Walker that we spoke about [137], I studied his book again and lo: 'science conserving its mechanistic explanation of the universe by ignoring all the discoveries of religion.' (Walker 42). There NEVER has been any discovery in religion. Otherwise it would be a proof of a god(s) existence. Is not this man silly Master?"

"Certainly, it would be an Eratosthenes proof. Yet, it is far worse with him. He is an un-person. He writes that he went shooting in Africa. Now, shooting is a very good passtime, exercise, education of the body in control, especially by the bow and arrow or pistol. But this can be done perfectly on targets. When, only for degenerate pleasure, you up and kill animals, you are not quite a sane human, no dignity. You see, an un-person. This, though does not mean throwing his book away or burn it. Books, after all, may set you thinking, i.e. when you keep the Way, Nature, R & D's, therefore Human Dignity before your Mind." [137], [193] It is obvious that, since the question: god is/god is not, cannot be answered (no way of proving), one cannot discover things inreligion. One can make discoveries in religiousness, in religiology. These discoveries are then in social science, in Mind-Science, not of religion.
