I remember reading your application right after you posted it, but I delayed on commenting. I'll fix that now.
Your answer for "What attracted you to this community?" was very much an intriguing answer - one I certainly hope will be re-examined later on.
For your answer regarding the human psyche, I feel compelled to quote Douglas Adams: "Humans think they're the most intelligent life on Earth because we have computers, nuclear war, and digital watches. Dolphins think they're the most intelligent life on Earth for precisely the same reasons."
To reply to your opinions properly would take hours, but I'll give quick replies to the ones that stood out the most to me.
I found your opinion regarding organized religion insightful - too often in history people have been using religion as an excuse to subjugate, enslave, belittle, or destroy other cultures and peoples. The worst part, I think, is that it's still happening today.
I also found your opinions on culture to be rather thought-provoking as well. Certain theories regarding "soul loss" have been put forth, that describes the materialistic aspect of our culture as actually soul-deadening.
Your other opinions certainly seem intriguing, and I look forward to reading more from you.
P.S. Yes, I deleted my earlier comment. I typo'ed.
