I have a great respect for Timothy Leary. Your Pharisees came close to crucifying him.

Among several scholars it is believed that the "Kingdom of God" and the "Kingdom of Heaven" mean exactly the same thing. Their thinking is that it is to be a very earthly kingdom in which some will try to live by the gospel message. But I do wonder if the New Jerusalem coming down out of the sky comes complete with infrastructure. Terrible is no sewage system or no hydro.LOL Many of the stories in the Bible are not to be taken literally but reinterpreted as time and knowledge advance. Definitely no talking snake and no apple or peach or whatever it was. Myth.

Fact based issues do not touch all aspects of the human life: Love, hate, happiness, joy, and all of those things that are not based on "fact" but which most folks are concerned about. Who are we? Why are we here? What is the purpose of life. Even Neitzhe (sp) near the end of his life was calling for God. There is more to life that facts or a logical process. Reminds me of Trump who thinks all there is to running the country is a business approach. LOL
