We're All Going to Jerusalem

The neo platonic world view is that everything that is material, including the earth, is garbage. So you see christian congregation spiritualizing as much as they can in order to remain passive and inert. They don't have to engage in the civil realm. Instead, we can just withdraw close the doors, like masad. We'll just hide out an little, our little mountain top, and then hope the romans don't find us. Theres there's the reality that we are given sada,. not the mead, si masad isth there's really secret.
