The problem with monotheism is that ideals are not absolute.

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

The universal, on the other hand, is the elemental.

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'tldn't be transgressed, if it were. Like a temperature below absolute zero.

Morals are the ideals, habits, beliefs, etc. that enable a healthy society. Traditionally that one's status be a function of what one adds, not what one can extract.

Our technology is far more evolved than our sociology. We are no longer fighting it out with bronze tipped spears and chariots, but the beliefs are the same.
