Nothing against them, but the vast and overwhelming majority of humans are too selfish to truly buy in to what they think they believe in. Adherence to what their religion teaches is a lost art that won't soon be practiced by those that believe themselves to be saved.

Living the life of an Essene is far, far too inconvenient and bacon tastes good, so screw that but I'll see you every Sunday at church. It's the American way.

Funny how that works.

Rant aside, thanks for posting this. A good reminder that dominion isn't what modern folks believe it is. St. Francis taught it well and serves as a positive example in how to live.
