Manachaeism – Dualistic cosmology proposing the earth is a battleground for the war between good (spiritual) versus evil (material). Am I alone here in thinking it's time to give up the mind/body split and realize we are fragile animals? In other apocalyptic movie news, Denzel (No, No! Not Denzel!) is playing a guy who wanders around quoting scripture and offing evil dudes (such as Gary Oldman - I've never trusted that guy since he played Count Dracula) in Book of Eli, the advertisements for which counsel us to "Believe in Hope". Maybe hope is like a really big gun. And vaguely related, I find it piquant that Mel Gibson is appearing in a film called "Edge of Darkness", cause dude, I think you're soaking in it.
Frequently I like what this passionately reasonable man has to say about extremes of righteousness and the embrace of same.
