“Plur1bus is about extreme faith."
- Slavoj Zizek, "Pluribus, The Power of Division"

“Love desires personality; therefore love desires division. It is the instinct of Christianity to be glad that God has broken the universe into little pieces… This is the intellectual abyss between Buddhism and Christianity; that for the Buddhist or Theosophist personality is the fall of man, for the Christian it is the purpose of God, the whole point of his cosmic idea… all modern philosophies are chains which connect and fetter; Christianity is a sword which separates and sets free. No other philosophy makes God actually rejoice in the separation of the universe into living souls."
-G.K. Chesterton, "Orthodoxy"

"Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time an end."
- Immanuel Kant, "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals "
The Gap between the Morals of "I" and the Ethics of "We" is bridged and broken during acts of religious evangelism or political activism.
