You may very well be correct in your thinking about man needing a community but I have not yet come across one that appeals to me and I don’t feel that I am missing anything crucial to my existence. Most all languages have a word for the inhuman erroneous concept of nothing which installs fear in the children who then need some movement to reassure them. If I belong to a community,I would say it is a community of ideas. And since I decided many years ago that all ideas are alien does that mean I am an alien? I feel that I am more human than most
I too think people hide behind religion often times to justify a perceived “righteous” action. Think Crusades, Pope, Vatican & govt. leaders. Hoping they all get theirs in the end.
Sorry, I had to ban MLK, because he took over the comment section with nonsense.

Hi Ray! I've been listening to a guy in Tennessee who teaches: no free will, God creates evil, holidays are pagan, etc. Thought he might be right up your alley ;) It's refreshing in this world of apostate churches! This is a link to just one (out of thousands) you could watch OR listen to: http://www.graceandtruth.net/videos-sp-2076601681/message/3137-sovereignty-predestination-god-has-ordained-all-things-good-evil-and-man-s-wrath-the-promise-and-inheritance-not-believing-these-things-you-are-arguing-with-god
Art/ literature/ music? I incline towards christian- like Flannery Oconnor.
