Pascal said that without the Christian faith you would be like nature, a chaotic monster. First of all, there is nothing wrong with nature. Second, who says nature is a chaotic monster? This hatred of nature is what Nietzsche was upset about, and it remains deep within the great religions which seek God inwardly by blocking all the desires of the flesh and nature, which is usually not understood for what it is, a blissful but symbolic experience of the real Godhood reached through material and supermaterial evolution . So what can be done about the hatred of nature?
Science studies nature and does not reject nature but that is not enough. Keep the God Within, don't turn away from tradition, nature generally proceeds conservatively with change, but transform the symbolic God Within to the real Godhood reached by evolution. Then you have the Twofold Path, the Inward and Outward Paths with which to proceed into the future, helping to guide nature in our evolution toward Godhood, riding nature like a great horse, never rejecting nature, and never rejecting the past.
