    There are things we know we don't understand. And still we must deal with them. And we need tools for that.

    There are things we think we understand - but don't - and we need tools that work in that gap.

    There are things we understand but we don't agree. We need tools.

    Not one off us here really, really understands human mind, gravity, value hierarchies, law, love, hate, the role of myelin, creativity... and still wee must deal with them every day.

    We need several belief systems to handle all that. Religions are one segment of all those belief systems. Science, social rules, culture... They are all mostly belief systems and then some.

    They are deep. They are very deep.

    What ever you do, please don't treat deep things with shallow understanding & meanings. Your personal understanding must be at least 2 orders of magnitude deeper than your writing about it.

    You decide if you will or wouldn't handle it. We (readers) expect that what ever you handle, you really can handle it.
