It is odd how for the monotheistic faiths
faith in The Word
becomes their blind spot for the world.
The Word is their book, the place
where the present is bound to the past,
to create their sense of the future.
And for the most faithful, the theocratic,
their past has to be made to account
for everything and everyone, particularly
those nearbly with different histories to theirs.
Thus Faith in history curdles into remaking
other peoples pasts in the light of your own.
Choice becomes select misrepresention.
