Take the Logos from Your Eye

What is the logos? The reason. The word. An important term in philosophy and religion, according to Wikipedia. We need a reason. We need answers, so we can feel rational about our actions. Look how calm and rational news of wartime operations is broadcast. They won't come out and say they wiped out a village and cremated everyone within a mile-long radius. If it's mentioned at all, it will be mentioned as a footnote, with words like 'aerial mishap' (or 'oh oh spaghettios!') Religion supplies these answers in the fashion of a Hollywood blockbuster, which seems to have popular appeal. But, if you look carefully at some of the gospels, you'll find that part at the end where Christ cries out from the cross, 'Why do you people need a logos anyway! Look here, I'm being crucified because you all need a logos! And it's not even a Jewish idea! It's Greek!' (It's there. You just have to read between the lines.) Philosophy delves into it more seriously, but still presumes to supply the same impossible answers. The philosopher takes the question one step farther, 'Why am I contemplating why we need a logos?' If he's a hedonist, he may conclude, 'I don't know why. I guess I'll ... get high.'
