anon said:Religion used to be the driving force behind the Catholic Church. Now it's the driving force behind the Muslims.
Go back a couple thousand years when population was a tiny fraction of what it is today. Romans had a fine army which subjugated a lot of Europe, including the British Isles, North Africa, Palestine etc. Before them there was Alexander The Great. After them there were Vikings, Barbarians.. Then Ghenghis Khan. Then Muslims. Space was not the objective. Getting rid of 80% of earth's population isn't going to fix that problem. But it would reduce the greenhouse gasses.

One of the most threatening things occuring around the world atm, imo, is the Islamic schools brainwashing children in societies that are very poor and unsettled.
Rafa said:2020, you haven't obiously read anything i have written either...By social experiments, I am talking about what is happening, and been happening in our public schools for the last 20 years... and the results that are presenting themselves daily...That is what i meant!
and about the world being flat... Once again, there is no where in the Gospels Jesus proclaiming the world is flat and always will be!..Please don't blame him for the people in the middle ages held onto this dogma, wherever it came from!
Humans will continue fighting, cause its all about survival,
Erradicating religion, as the social experiment in western public schools has shown, only does more harm than good.
Good Grief Boggo,ld: well done for digging this one up!

Yet Cardinal Pell still says the church is dealing appropriately with this stuff.
How is it possible for the Catholic Church to be so exposed for its filthy abuse over so many years and yet still even keep functioning?
Sorry, Boggo. Now cleared.Julia, your PM Inbox is up to your quota limit.
Just about finished reading 'God is not Great' by Christopher Hitchens.
This is a powerful critique of all religions and brilliantly put together.
Makes me wonder how any of these archaic and baseless institutions can survive at all....but then we are very odd mammals arnt we!
It's hard to tell how much longer we will assign the unknown to a supernatural extraterrestrial who selected the tribes of Israel as his chosen people. One step closer I suppose with the LHC about to create life.I have spent hours watching Hitchens, Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins in debates on youtube and come to the same conclusion. It is really quite sad and disheartening how pathetic and selfish people are in their delusions regarding religion. Give it another hundred or so years and i think it will all be over with.
And, perhaps the missing link discovered.It's hard to tell how much longer we will assign the unknown to a supernatural extraterrestrial who selected the tribes of Israel as his chosen people. One step closer I suppose with the LHC about to create life.
Just saw on the arvo news this afternoon that Cardinal George Pell has given up the ghost. So, now we will never know the truth. Perhaps St Peter has given him a roadmap to the nether regions below
There is a question of flogging a dead horse that can't defend himself.Maybe. Maybe not. I wouldn't be surprised if more information doesn't come out about George Pell after his death. I think his behaviour with regard to the avalanche of clerical abuse of children over a very long period of time will be rightly seen as unconscionable.

We've already seen that unsubstantiated allegations can cause miscarriages of justice.
