We Realists Freely Choose to Believe ... |
In the cold darkness of outer space reality is just stars exploding and rocks bumping into each other. This planet is but an insignificant spec of dust in the universe. This is science and this is reality. The Church of Reality however is more than just believing that reality is real, it is a choice to explore reality and everything associated with exploring reality.
In galactic terms, it doesn't matter if humanity thrives or destroys itself. If we were gone tomorrow, who would care? It only matters to us. Thus - the Church of Reality is more than a study of reality. It is about the relationship between humanity and reality. Or specifically, humanity's exploration of reality.
We Realists commit our lives to Realism by making The Sacred Choices
It is a fact that we as humans are all part of the greater society and that we function collectively. It is true that our success as a species is based on our Tree of Knowledge which represents the sum total of all human understanding. It is true that in order to pursue reality we have to do it cooperatively and that in this pursuit, we are all in this together. Yet there is nothing that compels us to make good choices, to decide to evolve in a positive direction, and to pursue the truth instead of a shared fantasy. It is by choice that we decide our fate, who we will become together as a species. This is our planet. We are all here together. And we are going to work together to make tomorrow better than today. That is why we of the Church of Reality make the Sacred Choices and hereby dedicate our lives to the Sacred Missions and begin the Sacred Journey.
