     We need to expose, name and understand how it is that
we are  disintegrated by  cycles-of-violence,   cycles-of-
coercion, cycles-of-dishonesty, cycles-of-domination, etc.
because violence, coercion,  dishonesty, etc.  ---  elicit
more of the same in exponential-feed-back-loops.

     We  need  to  expose  how the  use/abuse  of God-Talk
(theology)   has generated cycles-of-violence,  cycles-of-
coercion, cycles-of-dishonesty, cycles-of-domination, etc.
God-Talk (theology)   is NOT-VALUE-NEUTRAL any  more  than
SCIENCE-IS-VALUE-NEUTRAL or TECHNOLOGY-IS-VALUE-NEUTRAL.

     Theology  and science can be value-neutral  only when
theologians and scientists are  themselves  value-neutral;
never.    People are not value-neutral beings.  How people
think, feel,  talk and behave is always loaded with value-
assumptions,  value-beliefs, value-affirmations.  To claim
to be value-neutral is itself an affirmation of a value.

     Efforts   to   create/maintain only  one's  own  kind
of integrity and survive are not value-neutral efforts.

     Neglecting  to  seek  to create/maintain any  kind of
personal/communal integrity is not a value-neutral way-of-
death or "life".

     One  cannot  "live"  in a value-neutral-way  or life-
style.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
