...yeah I do think the world needs a Messiah right now, Maru...that would be amazing...sadly though I fear the welcome and reception they might get would be more...no immigration here thank you very much, Messiah culture isn’t welcomed here....and that clothing you’re wearing..?...for goodness sake that just won’t do at all...do you intend to have dental care at our expense, is it your intention to need any NHS care at all in your time here...the world is all very complicated for Messiahs in this modern time...

Yeah secularism does tend to way over-emphasize our individual capability for "good" and even our "bad". After all, that thinking is more black and white. When actually, individuals are often equally bad/good (in a psychological sense), and it sort of balances itself outself out in many cases... of course obviously that varies, there are people who embrace mostly evil purposes... there's no middle of the road in today's thinking. That's what's such a missed opportunity imo... humility is a liberating trait if we could somehow embrace that again culturally I think...

Though would I personally actually "look for" a Messiah in the physical sense? No. I think that sort of thing can be found internally and reached a better way... but like kirk said, if such an individual would appear physically or that we saw the emergence of an individual that resonated at that sense... could we accept it without trying to tear its arms off? We tend to be hostile towards things we don't understand. Especially if mob mentality kicked in... I think it would have to be after a certain sequence of events... MLK I do tend to think of his symbolism in this way... he did bring to us revelation as well as offer a mending of our culture...
