"There are but 2 Great Religions: 1. RESPONSIBILITY (Love); 2. UN-RESPONSIBILITY (Violence)" SL

RE: "There are but Two Great Religions: 1. RESPONSIBILITY (Love);
2. UN-RESPONSIBILITY (Violence)" SL

'Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve."  MLK Jr.

Leo Tolstoy was the common cause of both Gandhi (virtually entirely),
and MLK Jr. (very substantially).  The book that shaped MLK Jr., read
when he was in Crozier Seminary in Chester, PA was,
"THE LAW OF LOVE, AND THE LAW OF VIOLENCE."  Love and Violence
are the only means of human existence, physically, practically,
ACTUALLY, REALLY.  We survive, eat, maintain relationships, are
housed and clothed base on EITHER
1. GIVING (POWER FOR), NON-VIOLENCE / PEACE MAKING or
2. TAKING (POWER OVER), VIOLENCE / WAR MAKING.

These are the only two GREAT RELIGIONS, GREAT LAWS BY WHICH
HUMANS CAN EXIST.  This is not a matter of superficial choice, but
rather the fact of, the physics of survival.

1.  RESPONSIBILITY - Survival by CONTRIBUTION TO THE WELLBEING
OF THE WHOLE.  This is what all healthy tissue (non-cancerous) and
all life forms EXCEPT FOR HUMANS do.  Humans have "Fallen" away
from this natural, DNA ordered "religion," way of being.  "Christianity,
[Judaism, Buddhism...] what a wonderful idea.  What a shame no one
has tried it." CS Lewis (?)  Gandhi, King, Jesus, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Gaffar Kahn, Diane Wilson, Col. Ann Wright Thomas....

2.  UN-RESPONSIBILIY - SURVIVAL BY TAKING - Cancer, Parasitism,
VIOLENCE, POWER OVER OTHERS, EXPLOITATION (USUALLY COVERT). 
Christianity, Peace Movement, Capitalism, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam,
American "Freedom"... as practiced these thousands of years.
