    EPIGRAPH: We have freed ourselves of a blind faith in science, but now we feel stronger than ever that faith to which Marx was referring when he said that communities are capable of 'storming the heavens'. When that faith grows cold and doubt creeps in, one begins to cease being a communist. That is the truth.

    EPIGRAPH: The universal hero myth, for example, always refers to a powerful man or God-man who vanquishes evil in the form of dragons, serpents, demons and so on, and who liberates his people from destruction and death. The narration or ritual repetition of sacred texts and ceremonies, and the worship of such a figure with dances, music, hymns, prayers and sacrifices, grip the audiences with numinous emotions (as with magic spells) and exalt the individual to an identification with the hero.
