consciousness. Sooner or later, you will become a sacrificial victim
of the "natural" order, the kingdom of hell on earth that depends on
sacrifice for its existence, and no god will hear your cry for mercy.
In an overpopulated world, you will be food in an insane system
whose slaves provide diseased bodies for medicine, inmates for
prisons, laborers for factories, and cannon fodder for armies.
       All who do not live by faith are subject to the "unjust" law
of chance.
       So what is this faith to which only man, of all the created
beings, can have access? Whatever it is, it serves those who are
endowed with it as surely as instinct serves the denizens of the
natural order. Faith is the survival knowledge that saves and
protects us from the lower dog-eat-dog system. If it were to be
available to the lower animals, it would protect and perfect them
and render them deathless. Shielded by faith, they could no longer
remain beasts, programmed to eat and be eaten. They would no
longer be part of a food chain; and without a food chain, the
endless variety and beauty of the purely animal kingdom would
cease to exist.

when it was eaten by the chicken. Fortunately, both for them and for

horror sweeping over billions of sardines if they were conscious of
being swallowed alive by a big hungry fish. What torture; what
cruelty! They are spared the horror by virtue of the fact that they
don't even know they exist, even though they are awake.
       You, of course, are conscious that you exist, and this
consciousness allows you to see and feel the horror of suffering
and dying. It tells you something is wrong. But let's look at your
egotistical response: you make the same dumb mistake Adam
made, the one that brought him down into this bleak realm. You
