The matrix "Mother Nature" is obviously evil, of course you shouldn't worship it. But if anything today's Christians worship it far above God, and anyone who doesn't is immediately labeled "gnostic" and dismissed as a hopeless heretic.

I learned about Plato's cave recently. It accurately portrays the unbelievable cognitive dissonance and denial people have regarding this subject.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. We don't agree, though perhaps because there are so many interpretations of Christianity. And - before the 18th century - mother nature was God for many Christians. We agree on Plato.
