			When you leave, and you remove
from a religion, any financial
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			element to it, and you don't
basically say this is okay to do
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			and engage in and this is how to
engage in it, or be
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			governance and warfare,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			in the name of purity, spiritual
purity, what ends up happening is
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			that those voids will get filled,
and they will get filled with
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			something that was greatly
damaging to the spirituality that
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			you were trying to preserve. So,
one of the worst things for
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Christianity, for example, is
World War One, World War Two,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			which made people so disillusioned
with that. And I remember, a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			scholar was saying, if they had
had a law, on how to have
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			conflicts, then there wouldn't
have been a void in which the
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			conflict became becomes an all
out, you know, conflict that
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			consumes the entire continent, and
demoralizes people and causes them
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			to basically to lose their faith
and anyone who knows, you know,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			sort of the history of, of belief
in atheism in Europe that it's
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			World War One and World War Two
are the right hook and the left
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			hook to belief and people started
losing their faith. So that's
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			where you don't address a natural
need of human beings. Something
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			that does happen.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			Can't deny that it happens,
whether it's conflict or trade, or
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			the even the ambition to make
money. If you don't address it and
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			put it in somewhere productive.
Then you open up a void and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			something negative is going to
come in there and damage that
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			purity that you were trying to
have
