What insufferable stupidity! I know you can do better, so what gives? I'll bet it's just silly human pride.
Just be a man, and own up to what I called you out on. You actually said the species - the species! - has to change, (or be changed??). You know in your heart of hearts that you are guilty of a grave moral and intellectual error. You were called out, and it stings too much, so you resort to projection. You want to make me guilty of what you, in fact, are guilty of.
I push neither blind faith nor conversion. Truth and reason are manna from heaven. It should be generously shared, and everyone deserves the opportunity to share in it and receive it. But not everybody will share in it or receive it.
God's work is indeed done, and His truth is unchangeable, unchanging, eternal. NO species is bad, nor good (morally speaking). They simply are, and that is that! Only a person, an individual, can be good or bad. At the individual level we each, EACH - every unique, singular personhood - are judged by our choices, by the content of our character.
And I did not mean meditation! I was referring to a book by Marcus Aurelius, called The Meditations. It is a beautiful book of profound gratitude, dignity, and wisdom born out of true faith - all the qualities of goodness which the postmodern, neoliberals and New Leftists are bent on destroying.
As for 'blind faith,' I've already written here at length about the fraudulent modern definition of faith (which is indeed blind!).
