The pursuit of a paradise on earth, from all I understand, is the cause to the distopian world we live in: from "sola scriptura", "liberte, egalite, fraternite", and "mir, zemlja i khleb"; to "enlightenment", " positivism", and the "democratic republics"; as well as all the many aberrations we are witnessing in crescendo, have the same origin... " the evil", "the serpent and his promises", " the liar".
