As I wrote of One recently in my "Religionists Need Not Be Lunatics, And this lunatic 'Nones' poet is neither an atheist nor a theist:

“In chapter 10, Richard and Leslie encounter a monk experiencing a Moses at the burning bush moment. A parchment appears, way beyond the beauty of any of the Ten Commandments. Richard wants to become the protector and prophet for the messages of love and light. The monk talks him through what happens when anyone takes up that mantle — wars and hate in the name of god and love — and then Richard burns the parchment.

The monk says:

'How rarely are we given the chance to save the world from a new religion.'”

In other words, screw Buddha and those that blindly follow him any other human "prophet" who thinks they know what enlightenment is, can guide anyone there, or has achieved it.

Strong words, yes. Exaggerating to make a point? Indeed.

Have you ever clicked through to any work of mine? Actually, you don’t, even click in when I tag and compliment your work and cite it. Too many times to blame Medium.
