The sin is category error, to be so
stupid as to consider the personal brain
based virtual reality as reality. The human
condition is based on deceit, self and otherwise.
The anachronisms strike again! Story vs. story!

The Wars of Religion Return
by Patrick J. Buchanan
Posted: 07/01/2008
Last week's clash between Dr. James Dobson and Barack Obama is but the latest skirmish in a war that dates back to the time of
Christ. At issue: What is Christian truth? Does the true Christian put social peace ahead of his duty to make God's Law man's law?
In a speech in June 2006, Obama, citing the Book of Leviticus, which declares homosexuality an abomination, noted that Leviticus
also says the eating of shellfish is an abomination and condones slavery.
Moreover, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is "a passage so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its
application."
"Folks haven't been reading their Bibles," said Obama.
"Even ... if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States ... whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we
go with James Dobson's or with Al Sharpton's?"

Even the very notion of "free will" could be a deceit.
Other stories:
"A compatibilist, or soft determinist, in contrast, will define a free
act in a way that does not hinge on causal necessitation. For them, an
act is free unless it involves compulsion by another person. Since the
physical universe and the laws of nature are not persons, they argue
that it is a category error to speak of our actions being forced on us
by the laws of nature, and therefore it is wrong to conclude that
universal determinism would mean we are never free."
