In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Outta This World would make a great theme diner, though I'd probably avoid the special.

Now I have Hello! Ma Baby stuck in my head. Thanks for that.
You're welcome.

That is why I feel what I said is justified.
Nope. Does nothing to justify the specificity. Which is the problem. If you want to have faith that there is something after death that continues your experience as a being, that's fine. Unlikely, but that's what faith is about. I believe humans will someday come to a point in civilization where they won't happily trade the deaths of thousands for moving up in wealth from 4,000,000,000 to 3,999,999,999. Equally unlikely, but it's fun to hope.
Wholly distinct from "Jesus is gonna fix it, everybody!"

You either missed or ignored my statement regarding an 'archetypal faith' or an actual universal faith. Yes, Jesus-ness is one specific type of thing to have faith in.. but what are we actually hoping for?
My postulation is that there is a 'universal hope' that every human has.. and if they don't have it they simply haven't thought that much about it..
We can certainly disagree about the specificity of if/how that universal hope can be achieved.. religious.. scientific.. or accepting that it can never be achieved..
The universal hope is quite simply love and peace.
If you show me a human being that doesn't truly in their deepest heart of hearts doesn't actually wish for love and peace then that would be a very damaged individual that probably needs the closest approximation to love and peace possible.
I understand that many people wouldn't ever dream to hope for such a fantasy land.. which is where the faith comes in in all of it's many colors..
But I was speaking more for the things that we hope for rather than what we specifically choose to pin those hopes on.
Then we get to how to have hope without faith and how to have faith without hope.. but that's another chapter..

Since the harsh crackdown on hallucinogens in the 1970s, researchers have pressed to continue to explore the potential benefits of various hallucinogens, including LSD, Peyote, psilocybin, and the Amazon brew ayahuasca. But only in recent years has the climate for such research thawed sufficiently enough to actually conduct studies. Now we are seeing evidence that exactly as described by traditional healers, these agents do in fact offer benefits for mind and mood.
Interesting enough, magic mushrooms, peyote buttons and the ayahuasca brew are all referred to by those who employ them as “The Medicine,†for their broad purported healing benefits.
The recent highly controlled, rigorously conducted medical studies on psilocybin show benefits indeed. Some critics worry that the mystical experiences described in the John Hopkins study represent a “God in a bottle,†and that this challenges the role of traditional church-based religious practices. Yet others perceive the same mystical experiences as deeply beneficial, contributing to a more whole sense of self and of one’s place in a vast universe.

For my 11th grade project of composing and delivering a speech I gave an impassioned dissertation on all of the reasons why psilocybin et al should be legal and regularly used in therapy.
I shortly after received an impassioned call to the guidance counselor

I seem to remember mine vaguely. I spent a lot of time out at a friend's farm. She lived down by the river and they raised lamas. Took a photography class that was a lot of fun. Other than that it's pretty much a blur.

My junior year was cut short by a stint in the county jail.
