Dogma days
Without spirituality in some form, people will anesthetize themselves with drink or drugs -- including the tranquilizers that seem near universal among the status-addled professional class of the Northeastern elite.
Why? this makes no sense.
This implies that those with a spiritual center are not on drugs or materialistic - I am sure any reader can think of examples where this is not the case.
There is no void in the secular, and values can be transmitted to our young folks without the drama of God. I think the selfishness we see today is more a result of not teaching any ethics rather than an absence of spirituality.
Most of us however are sheep, who will take no responsibility for our emotional health - we want drive through answers to the complexities of this existence. Unfortunately for all of us there are religions ready to oblige.
