So, I have a theory. I just finished reading one of Dan Brown’s most underrated stories, The Lost Symbol. It tells such a compelling story and wraps up so perfectly, I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten the same recognition as Inferno or The Da Vinci Code.
The book got me thinking differently about religion. It introduces the concept of Noetic Science—a field that studies how human thought might influence the physical world. The idea is that when enough people believe something to be true, it can reshape reality.
That made me wonder: why have some religions gone so far—violently even—to get people to believe in their God? Maybe it’s because belief isn’t just private; collective belief can create power. And when someone thinks outside the box, it threatens someone else’s carefully constructed version of a perfect world.
