The Empire Crumbles: More American Buffoonery

Max,
I truly don't have a clue to the answer of God, Faith, Morality but from
just observing our world and everything around us, Religion isn't the
answer.
Perhaps not for you, Thom, but it may be for others. Are you a fascist? Do
you believe that others should be denied the right to their beliefs because
yours differ?
Humans are the only species on the Planet that have churches.
Are you sure? Can you say for sure that a beaver lodge isn't a primative
synagog? g
Humans are
the only species that have Wars.
Um, take a look at some of the studies of primates and/or ants some time.
Humans are the only species that build
weapons and develop ways to use them to destroy.
See my comment on primates above.
Max, Humans and animals populated this planet without Religion, without
Sin and without Churches.
Religion is a creation of intelligent, self-aware beings. Early primates,
if you subscribe to the classic Darwinian theory of evolution, didn't
possess the mental attributes to create religions. Evolved humans did.
It plain to see that animals have no problem surviving without religion
It's plain to see that man has had no problem surviving with or without
religion.
or our, so called "Civilization" Man's problem is MAN. Man's creation
of his version on God is where Evil came from.
I haven't an answer but it obvious our Religion doesn't either!
There never are simple answers to infinitely complex problems, Thom. It's a
fool's errand to attempt to solve eternal and pervasive problems with a
single bullet. Solutions are as forthcoming as the increasing facets of the
problems, and of course nothing is ever solved. But for some religion is a
component solution to the world's problems. That it isn't for you does not
make it any less viable as a part of the solution for others. Your
statement is clearly intolerant in its implication.
Max
