but history is full of abandoned temples and forgotten afterlives. why do we assume ours will not end up the same way. just another piece of a dead civilization a thousand years from now. to the people who believe, seeing it like that makes you think no.
nobody carries their truth forward.
so I have to ask. what makes us so confident we are different. every era thinks it finally found the truth. every believer thinks their faith will last forever.
sometimes I sit and think about all the religions that just went quiet. whole civilizations built their world around them. they had temples, sacred places, holy ground. they prayed with the same kind of certainty we pray with now.
