My little test speaks for its self.
I never mentioned anything to do with or about enlightenment or spirituality.
All you did was project your own idiotic thoughts onto the world outside of your self.
This proves you can't even think for yourself as you are controlled and bound by the shackles of your own prison mind that you've created.
Thus you're a weak, fallen, robotic, walking dead corpse ......

Nice rant, Richard. You sound like Solomon in Ecclesiastes:
Everything is meaningless!
I`d quote chapter and verse, but it`s about everywhere there.

1 Thessalonians 5:8-10, But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.

From the Grand Bible (as opposed to the Holy Bible):
Question: Do you believe a man can change his destiny? Answer: I believe a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed to him. (Algren Katsumoto 6:13-14)
"a man does what he can" Hmm... maybe based on his empowerment through understanding, education, last but not least, attitude. (see madbolter1 above)

jstan- you just have to skip through the 3rd grader nonsense, ignore it and move on. (I thought Ghost and Dustonian were worthy-- in response to madbolter1-- up to the point they got it going with Brawny.)
From the Grand Bible (as opposed to the Holy Bible):
"You should take the utmost care not to impair the highest faculties of your mind. The virtuous life depends on reason and sound belief first and foremost. If you safeguard these, they will safeguard you." (Epictetus 25: 3-4)
the Grand Bible: any (personal) collection of life wisdom (e.g., in the form of books, stories, principles, etc.) gathered through life experience and education and applied to life-- meant to guide, to inspire, and/or to render better practices in the "practice" of living.

What we really need is a climbing guide by an anonymous author, written thousands of years ago, that gives descriptions that don't match experience, that commands you to climb a certain way just because it says so, that warns of dire consequences if you do not climb that way or do not perform specified rituals and ablutions before during and after the climb.
Preferably this climbing guide should be written in verse.
It should list millions of sub-deities that were born of another god's magic pudding, etc. It should describe how they hold sway over some insignificant aspect--such as the god of hummocks. It should warn how you must appease any demi-gods whose realms you may encounter on a climb or risk coming back as a batsh#t-eating silverfish.
Then you can have arguments in camp with those folks that follow a more "advanced" climbing guide book. A guidebook that tells them what techniques are abominations, but also tells them to love their fellow climbers, but also tells them they'll be hurled into a molten pluton if they commit these abominations, but also tells them that if they have a personal relationship with the guidebook author's son all will be forgiven, and they can spend eternity climbing on Olympic Mons, and they'll make it on LEB's list of climbing's greatest and can never be kicked off.

WandaFuca- Imaginative parallelism.
It's just growing pains and rough patches, Cragman, as we make the transition from old belief to new. Relax.
It's one thing to criticise, another to construct.

"Jesus wept" (John 11:35)
However, the New American Abridged Climbers Version (NAACV) quotes the following:
"Jesus balled his eyes out after he decked on Wyoming Sheep Ranch."
