Rule by the Logos is about all you could ask for yet Christ is above him and he rules with love. Reason and evidence is all we have on this earth yet we are far more than dirt. WRT religion, I do not tithe to pay a mortgage on a church building, to feed another man's family, or to cast pearls before swine abroad. The tithe as originally defined is what we would call today "prepping" for hard times and stacking sats.
