Interesting post. Thanks. I agree judaism is a religion. So when the establishment attempt to make those who criticise Israel out as racists, they use the term 'anti-semitism'. But semite means Arabs too so that makes little sense. The pharisees were seen as 'separators' as such (therefore to the Jesus figure) they are followers of satan . Satan in the bible just means 'adversary' (Jesus even calls Peter Satan in Matthew XVI.
Great post Warren - I suspect a fair few politicians are culprits of illusions of truth.
I'm personally intrigued in how this idea would extend to the self - can we deceive ourselves to create an illusion of truth? I think there are questions of self-preservation and convenience that lend us liable to make ourselves believe something we know is not true. This was a really thought provoking piece - I just subscribed so I can read the next one!
Oh, 100%! Thank you for subscribing. I'll do my best to keep it interesting, while being as truthfully as possible. I think we can agree, all people want is the Truth
