[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 858164, member: 22662"] I really don't understand the hostility to organized religion by many who seem so knowledgeable on so many subjects. Though some may claim that religion has created great horrors throughout the centuries, perhaps it is religion or "God conscienceness" that has extricated ourselves from those horrors without intentionally or unintentionally destroying ourselves. Or am I simply to believe in the "goodness" of mankind? That simple self interest keeps us from riding our hatred and animosity for others straight into oblivion seems counter-intuitive for a race that holds stock piles of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons only as deterents. I think secretly we wish for a provocation severe enough to justify our earth-shattering retribution. I simply do not see how without God, without some sense of a Greater Purpose, we stand any chance at all of holding it together and that we have held it together thus far further strengthens that belief. And Jones: Your graph reflects a sad truth of life with blinders on. Like the way republicans view governance. [/QUOTE]
