Fanaticism is such a blind stuff that it can never give you any idea as to what is reality.

Naturalism is the view that the physical world is a self-contained system that works by blind, unbroken natural laws. Naturalism doesn't come right out and say there's nothing beyond nature.

When, on the other hand, you kneel to a left-wing politician, you're merely emulating Monica Lewinsky.

And they also deepened my sensitivity towards creation itself so that concern for God's creatures and animal rights followed from that.

The religious impulse is primary.

I used to think, "I can't go to these meetings because they'll make me believe in God. Make me go to church." I knew it wasn't right for me before I ever tried it. I was suspicious of anything outside my realm of experience. That same kind of attitude carries over into 12-step programs, because they are programs. There's this feeling that you don't need this bullshit, you can quit on your own. People that don't know anything about it seem to have a better idea. They haven't even been.
