The flaw in every version of monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes.

The core codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the center of every culture are ideals.

Th universal ,on the other hand, is the elemental. So a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

The light shining through the film, than the stories playing out on it.

Morality is not absolute, as it couldn't be transgressed, if it were. Like a temperature below absolute zero.

Morals are the ideals, habits, codes, behaviors that enable a healthy society.

Traditionally that one's status and worth a function of what one adds, not what one can extract. Which is why our culture is increasingly necrotic.

While we are no longer fighting it out with bronze tipped spears and chariots, it does seem the culture hasn't evolved along with the technology. Some are still wrapped up in the tribalism of 3000 years ago.

As the Zealots discovered, there is a bigger world out there.
