Earth, truth, and patriarchy

"A religious perception of reality replaced a spiritual perception of reality. Because through a spiritual perception of reality, we are all connected and through a religious perception of reality, you are flawed for even being born. In order to justify staying here, you need to adhere to the male dominated chain of command. You see, I can't envision the Creator in a human form and I think that our problems began when we started to do that. When we decided to envision the Creator in a human context, it then justified and set into motion the mistreatment of the natural world. The earth was no longer the mother, but property."

John Trudell

I can't add or subtract a word from this, it is perfect.
