Rant time ......

As long as the human condition clings to the superstition of an all powerful, all mighty, all seeing, all knowing entity/supreme being we will continue to subject ourselves to living in the dark ages

Until we disencumber ourselves from this obstacle we can not move forward to an age of enlightenment

How many have died, how many have suffered, how many more in the name of Gods?

Cultural differences are one thing, how many painful/negative divides are caused by beliefs in non existent beings?

In the name of Allah, in the name of God, in the name of Rahway ......
all amount to battle cries

Opiate for the masses, a means of control .... I don't know

Here in the USA we have divides caused by religon...... strip away religion and what becomes of the divides?????

Consider that on a global scale .........





and don't even get me started on the missed potential of the Internet, the greatest information/communication tool in our time and what did we do......

.... turned it into a flea market
(don't think so, check out the spam you get every day)

You really should get into some Marxist cultural theory, I think you would really enjoy it.
