totally agree, Peg...
i'm for years now saying -
the third world war won't be fought among nations, but among rational and religious people...
isn't it just fascinating that in the time when we're able to real-time communicate world-wide, the racial and religious hatred is increasing instead of decreasing?!
isn't it just fascinating that in the time when science is progressing faster than ever (and faster than even experts in given field can keep track of!), the level of education and science-awareness is in fact decreasing?!
isn't it just fascinating that average people today are less aware of "how the world works" than ancient greeks?!... [i don't count "because god wanted so" as an answer to "why ...?"]
isn't it just amazing that people are able to massively refuse anything simply because some almost-2000yo book says so?
btw, why is it funny to people if someone believes in santa claus, but not when someone believes in god? what's the difference? saint nicholaus at least really existed -- and is documented as a historical person, unlike e.g. christ, -- who ever met god?
