After a Crisis of Faith...
As I read this article l am reminded of the paper by Danny Guyton - " There is No Alternative to Tribalism." It is only our fragmented Hebrew tribal traditions that has created such a fearce opposing duality. Beginning with such stories as Cain and Able and resulting in decisive splits into Christianity and Islam. Both of these resulting tribal branches has continued their fragmentation ignoring the original leadership concepts proposed by their Old Testament leaders. Leadership is the only tool available for tribal harmony but leadership methods in these great tribal traditions lack the human competence to overcome their created discord. The leadership style that was written about in the Old Testament and in more symbolic methods in the New is one that allows traditions to exist but brings together the knowledge of opposing opinions. The foresight of the biblical writers is there knowledge of Meme creation and the mythology needed to transform tribal beliefs into a plausible reality for everyone. With this in mind it was a coordinated effort between the selected biblical writings and the resulting leaders through a positive duel approach of tribal customs and example brought peoples together. Where as the Roman Empire existed out of pure brutality and force it was claimed by the efforts of early Christians who practiced the resulting merging of Hebrew trading with the organizational methods of the Roman Empire. Our Christian heritage was successful in creating a grand European culture that grew on the newly formed tribal symbols and rituals until being fragmented by a deliberate attack on those very symbols that brought a portion of the traditions together. What emerged out of the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Reformation was yet another major cultural split that separated science as a it's own separate form of knowledge management that created symbols in a more rigid system of observation. However, in this human geography there exists the overriding desire of all people's - to belong.

Not sure this is happening at every level and capacity but the document does justice to the complexity.
